Shipping tycoon ready to right sinking Greek PAOK
Greece - 21 June, 2006

By Thursday, PAOK Salonika could be shipped to Greek shipowner Yiannis Kambanis.
“The time has come for me to unwind following years spent at sea and, more generally, in shipping,” said the 60-year-old Kambanis to the local media. “On a personal level I am satisfied by fame and money and would like to tell all PAOK fans and players that things are changing.”
No financial details were available. The news comes less than a week after PAOK, who finished sixth in the league, was excluded from next season’s UEFA Cup for financial irregularities.
One of Kambanis’ first tasks will be to persuade players Dimitris Salpingidis and Ifeani Udeze to halt legal procedures against the club for unpaid wages. Kambanis also has asked for patience from PAOK fans who are notoriously eager for success.
“Don’t ask for league and cup triumphs from the very first year. All will come with patience once we build a team,” he said. “PAOK is a life’s gamble for me and I would like to tell fans that they will certainly love me for it.”
