Yes, the medical team has been selected as the scapegoat for this but the manager could have taken him off. Only they had no subs left. On a wider note, let's just remind ourselves what an utterly disgraceful decision it was to let this man anywhere near English football.

But that success has been soured by a criminal investigation in Greece that has named Marinakis as a ringleader of a match-fixing conspiracy known as The System, which has allegedly destroyed the Greek football landscape.

He denies wrongdoing.

In June 2015, Marinakis was banned from all football activity after being bailed for ?200,000 over five charges.

They were:

? Establishing and directing a criminal organisation

? Fraud

? Attempted extortion

? Bribery with the aim of fixing matches and

? Instigating an explosion endangering human life

Marinakis has been among dozens of football officials under investigation, including a former president and legal adviser of the Greek FA, referees and club owners.

He is contesting the charges and is appealing the right of the prosecutor to sit in judgement of him because he is ?a well-known Panathinaikos fan?.
