The news of the arbitration court was unpleasant for Heracles, as Bogdan Mara’s request for debt forgiveness was not accepted.

Giraios must now immediately pay off the debts to Roumanos, which exceed 200,000, otherwise he will be excluded from the Super League 2 championship. The owner of POT Heraklis, Stratos Evgeniou, made it clear with his statement on the group’s website that it has not changed its position on the specific issue and the specific debts will not be paid. This fact means that the old man’s future is more than threatening.

What Stratos Evgeniou said in detail on the team page: “Following the rejection of the request of POT HERACLES, communicated to us today Wednesday, September 27, 2023, by the Football Arbitration Court of the Hellenic Football Association, for the resumption of the trial in the case of the former football player IOAN BOGDAN MARA, in a case in which our PAE with another PAE, which operated 13 years ago with a different VAT number, different headquarters, etc., I would like to remind you that from the first moment this issue arose, my position was clear to everyone that I will try to support the overall recovery and regeneration efforts of the team, but also that under no circumstances will I take on other people’s debts, especially debts incurred 10 and 13 years ago.

I play football because I love it and for NO other reason!!!

I have my businesses, my family and my friends, I can live without them.

Together with my colleagues, I made great efforts to lead the team to where it really belongs, even under particularly adverse conditions in which we had to deal with many problems every day, especially problems of a not only financial nature which we never expected to be asked to solve. Nevertheless, we put the team back on the Greek football map cleanly and honestly and started again.

The expectations may be high, but it is impossible for me to live up to today’s facts and current conditions“.

The news is unpleasant for Heraklis, as the request to reopen the Bogdan Mara case was rejected by the EPO arbitration tribunal.

This means that Gerai’s management will have to pay a sum of 200,000 euros, otherwise it will be excluded from the Super League 2 championship.

Specifically, the EPA announcement states: “The EPO Football Arbitration Tribunal made the following decision at its last meeting.

Rejects by majority the motion to withdraw, review and renegotiate the PAE POT. Hercules vs. former professional footballer Ioan Bogdan Mara and Decision No. 144/2023 of the EPA Football Arbitration Court“.

Kavtanzoglio does not have a license to host matches, putting Iraklis, who use it as their home ground, in an extremely difficult position as the Thessaloniki side look to build another stadium for their Super League 2 matches.

The Kilkis Stadium solution is not progressing as it does not meet the conditions. The people of Herakles have reached out to all available stadiums in Thessaloniki but have so far received only negative responses.

Given the current data, which option will be the most likely? Choosing to stay inside Kautanzoglio plays his games behind closed doors. There is also the solution of the auxiliary field in the stadium, where 900 fans can fit in the stands, but the people of Gerai don’t want that.

So everything indicates that the blue and whites will eventually remain in their natural home, but will be deprived of the presence of their friends.
