Renowned legal expert Chris Triantafyllidis strongly criticized the rumored agreement between APOEL and Brazilian investors, describing it as a “ridiculous situation” if transparency is lacking. He urged the APOEL administration not to proceed with any signature before convening a General Assembly, ensuring all members are fully informed about the document’s content. Mr. Triantafyllidis expressed concern regarding the information he received about the agreement, emphasizing the need for complete truth to be revealed. He also mentioned a previous offer from other investors last May, which had been rejected by the management. He highlighted APOEL’s challenging situation as it approaches its 100th anniversary, stressing the need for bold and decisive actions. He warned that a “football memorandum” might be necessary in the coming years for the team’s recovery. Mr. Triantafyllidis emphasized the importance of informing the public about the truth, in order to secure support for the team during this difficult time. He finally expressed his discontent with the violent reactions of fans during the recent match against AEK, underlining the need for legal forms of protest.
