Reports from Cypriot sports outlets are reporting that AIK in Sweden have now gone back to Apollon with a 900k euro offer, with a 10-15% sell-on clause.
That's a lot closer to that 1million euro evaluation that Apollon were mooted to be looking for.

Kandet Diawara.
Released from APOEL, signed to Le Havre in Ligue 1.
I just don't understand what APOEL's problem is with giving youth a chance. Instead signing a 32 year old player shorter than me, which will be his third club in a year.

Congratulations to Pafos! Cup winners! Their first major trophy!
@SyriEasway
Based on the match last weekend, Pafos win. Hiwever, I suspect Omonia have been scared straight and they are very experienced in the cup final compared to Pafos.
If Omonia have learned their lesson, 2-1 to Omonia. But if they haven't, 3-1 Pafos.

Boo fucking hoo.
I have complained many times about how Petrides runs APOEL.
But Sa Pinto leaves every club he's been in charge of, in bad blood, complaining about everyone around him and he is an angel who doesn't do anything wrong.
Sa Pinto has opened up about his time at APOEL, with some very interesting comments:
"Without a doubt, it was the most difficult title winning season in the history of APOEL. When you have an upper management that makes promises it doesn't keep, it's not easy to manage a team..

14/15k is too big.
If you pro-rata the population of Nicosia to the population of London, its like Arsenal building a 540k capacity stadium.
Stadium is aiming to be a UEFA Criteria 4 Stadium of 14k capacity in its original size, while allowing possible expansion to 20k
The land required equates to 150,000 m2

Very disappointed in his tenure, I thought he would have delivered considering the improvements in the squad.
That defeat to RFS was unforgiveable, though. Playing Kostadinov as a CD. Madness.
