No thanks: Joel Roca rejects the move
Kifisia had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Olympiacos, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Words exchanged at Kifisia
Jorge Pombo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Kifisia rebuffed over Zois Karargyris

Kifisia ask about Alynho Haïdara
A loan enquiry to Mainz 05: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Francisco Almaca still has not settled
A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Kifisia would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
The dugout26 Jul 2027
A door opens for Konstantinos Apostolakis
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
In brief
