After APOEL and the “8” team was placed for the shipwreck in negotiations with Prodromos Petrides.
Their announcement:
We feel the need to place ourselves in full sincerely for what is happening, because the future of APOEL cannot be sacrificed on the altar of concealment, personal interests and falsification of reality.
We declared a “inability” to take on the huge debts created by the Petrides administration and which are constantly increasing. Our plan predicted the complete first to repay its arrears to the state with the ultimate goal of stopping APOEL’s interception in the courts, which is not appropriate with the history of APOEL and after the debts to football players and technical team until the end of the current one.
At the same time, it would follow a drastic budget reduction in order to achieve a balanced budget for the new season and in the coming years. In addition, we demanded the immediate release of the team’s television revenue from the extremely unfavorable contracts by which the existing administration chose to subdue the future of APOEL.
We emphasize that any other debts to third parties who were requested to be regulated could not – at this stage – be a priority or negotiation. We did not accept the attempt to present as a “heroic departure” the collapse of a administration that led APOEL to economic, institutional and organizational impasse. On the contrary, a clear and in -depth investigation is required for the economic downside and responsibilities of those who led APOEL to the current situation. We cannot silently accept that the one who bears the basic responsibility for today’s image will leave with honors, handshakes and a “announcement” that will purify him. Nor can we sign any “confidentiality agreement”.
APOEL is not a cover tool. And we are not going to tolerate to turn the rough failure into a political success story. We are not willing to build APOEL tomorrow on lies, evasions and impunity. Anyone who thinks we will put our signatures to delete responsibilities are deeply laughing. If they actually want a retirement agreement, let them sign a responsibility agreement first: to personally and individually commit to any obligation, debt or legal obligation that will appear in the future due to their malignancy.
Our only desire is the good of APOEL – and only. I wish the administration of Prodromos Petrides would be able to get APOEL out of the financial impasse to which she herself led.
