The terraces

Supporters organise against the Panserraikos board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Pedro Vian Seewald is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Panserraikos is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout

Michalis Papanikolaou keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Panserraikos may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at Panserraikos

Vasilis Xenopoulos 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.

Squad

Pedro Vian Seewald falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Anastasios Torosidis stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Anastasios Torosidis and Panserraikos agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Thanasis Gerofokas gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Thanasis Gerofokas has just signed for Panserraikos, and for once the answer mattered.

The dugout

Anastasios Torosidis: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Panserraikos have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Panserraikos

Darnell Bile 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.

Match

David Tebili’s goal not enough for Panserraikos

David Tebili scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Asteras, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Transfer targets

Olympiacos tell Panserraikos: Denis Pérez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

Thanasis Gerofokas gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Talks stall between Panserraikos and Thanasis Gerofokas

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑3 Interim Coach left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings

Isack keeps on missing

Shots: 6, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

In brief
