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?.
They were about to make their last sub when the injury happened, and Nuno held off until he got the thumbs up from the medical team, so they took a different player off. Then the injured player got up and went off the pitch and went straight down again. Nuno was pissed off at the physio at the time, you could see him making gestures to say why did you give me the thumbs up?

It was an awful collision and was pretty obvious the player was in a bad way. I couldn't believe they were sending him back on personally. I think it was a monumental **** up by the physios but it was also incredible they asked the player to get back out there considering he was clearly in a lot of pain and could barely move.

The chairman is clearly not a nice guy but I think I would've been angry too if I had to watch (and pay for) that clown show.
