Current Iraklis major shareholder Tom Papadopoulos, the US businessman, has said this week that he has reached a deal to purchase Volos’ tax credentials for the 2020/21 season.

But controversial and outspoken Volos mayor Beos has rebuffed such claims, stating that there is no verbal or written agreement.

“There is no agreement with Iraklis, the team is not leaving Volos,” Beos told Arena FM radio.

“I have to say two things. As mayor of Volos, I have decided to make my position clear as such a situation does not help anyone, especially Iraklis, which is Greece’s oldest and one of its most historic clubs which has been suffering unjustly in recent years,” added Beos.

“There are no agreements. I tell you that we have not made any agreement and I have made it clear that the team is not leaving the city [of Volos]. Now, if the shareholders of the team want to decide that after so many years that they want to change the location of the team, then I do not know about it.”

“Tom Papadopoulos has been left exposed to a large section of the Iraklis fans and is under intense pressure, so he is using the contact we have had with him to prevent the fans from turning against him. Nobody knew Papadopoulos before he put some money into Iraklis. But so far he has failed.”

“Iraklis needs a man with a bit of madness and knowledge to find its way, he does not need many millions of euros.”

It will be interesting to see how things develop for Papadopoulos and Iraklis following this latest development but one thing is clear. The clock is ticking for the cash-strapped Thessaloniki club to find a solution sooner rather than later.
