Quite possibly my favourite owner of all time.
I love how ambitious he is to want to take on the established or elite and strongly believes his club should be amongst them.
He's rolling the dice and getting others to follow him. He's backing them with money and trust and they're delivering so far. Let's keep it rolling!

Looks like the lady I was sitting next to when doing that hospitality match a couple of seasons ago. Apparently EM was there that day and sitting in the same seat and I didn't notice him; I was so wrapped up in the game!

I think this is where we'll see him at his strongest.
His ambition was always there, but his methods needed some serious refining when he first took over us. You could always see he was going for the throat, but in the early days it was often in a haphazard way.
He's clearly learned a lot since then though, and the club is far better structured now. Not saying it's perfect by any means, but when you look at the difference between our early recruitment to our current recruitment it's night and day.
Now EM is in a successful position which he is more used to operating from, and it feels great to have an owner who we know won't sham-out for money. Someone could come in with 100m for Murillo, and I'm confidant the club will only sell if we have potentially as good lined up to replace him, as with EM winning is priority 1.

Definitely. I currently feel like Marinakis is holding the best cards and knows he doesn’t have to lay them on the table for anyone.
He’s in the strongest position since he took over and it’s been a lot of hard work, so he deserves this.

Was in a taxi in Rhodes at the weekend and the old fella driving asked who I support. Gave me the classic "Great team when I was younger, Brian Clough genius, etc" response and knew we are currently doing well. I mentioned we're owned by Marinakis and then asked who he supports. He supported one of the Rhodes teams but also Panathanaikos. At which point we both had a laugh about his feelings towards Marinakis. He was quite diplomatic in his choice of words but very clear no love lost there!

A bar owner I met in Kefalonia back in May was a staunch Olympiacos follower.Of course,EM could do no wrong
in his eyes.
It’s funny how people view things differently!

Seems they are/were owned by 777. Perhaps they are available on the cheap.
That badge is just crying out for @Alf-engelos Mindminackers to dangle a hilarious cartoon scrotum beneath that bowsprit.Vasco da Gama by the look of it.

It's a no brainer to get a Brazilian club, especially one with a good academy
It is such an undervalued market, and if he actually invests fair amounts you could probably make a fortune whilst giving us first dibs.

I keep telling my wife this, but she is somehow non-committal?

Have you seen any figures mentioned?
They are owned by 777 who are facing jail time so should be at a cut rate.
If it's anything like how much players cost from that division it will be a bargain. It will be interesting to see what model he adopts there, if he is willing to throw money around he could really produce a team full of top prospects over there & we will surely have first dibs.
Much like Rio Ave they also have an elected president style ownership.
