Olympiakos President sends player away on holiday after woeful performance

President of Olympiakos Evangelos Marinakis fined the team €400,000 and ordered its under-performing players to go on holiday until the end of the season.
Marinakis was angry at Sunday's 1-1 draw at Levadiakos that left the defending Greek league champions in third place.

He said "I will build Olympiakos from the beginning and it will become the team we are dreaming of, I and the rest of the fans have tolerated you enough. You will leave today and go on holiday. The amateur teams live with the basics, they love Olympiakos and their supporters much more than you do, You think more about the nice houses you live in and your cars and don't care about the team. I pay millions for you to have everything. With your actions I fired three coaches. But at the end it looks like you were at fault."
