“Further to the appointment of Kyros Vassaras to the key position of chief referee, Panathinaikos FC must recall that the aforementioned official operated in favor of that precise system, well known to everyone, which destroyed refereeing and harmed seriously Greek football.

The difference is that during his brief presence now as chief referee, he will not be able to hide behind persons or positions. So from now on he will leave his backstage performance to come into the picture. All his decisions will be appraised daily.

This way it will be revealed whether he is able to serve decently the post he assumed or he will continue in the same path he is following for the last years”.
