He's Greek, born in Athens and moved to Australia when he was a child and got the Australian citizenship. He moved to Australia when he was 5, he learnt English as a first language, he grew up in Australian culture. I doubt he remembers his life before Australia. It’s not like he moved there in his 30s. He doubtless feels way more Australian than Greek Edited 20 September 2022 by Sampson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were born in Leicester from British parents and moved to US when you were 5yrs old are you American or British? You just have a dual citizenship unless your native country allows you to deny the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't. There's no comparison. We have played in the top two tiers for all but one season in our entire history. Sounding like a Manure fan mate with your big club/little club schtick. The only comparison that matters now is where we are in the table - and Brentford - with a fraction of our budget and support, have more points than us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on the up and they finished above Leeds, Everton and Villa - all bigger clubs than them. As I said, other than the oil barons, anyone can finish anywhere. It's such a crazy league. There's very few steady Eddies and the ones that do exist, don't have a great time - Burnley, Palace, Southampton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, my son, born to me (British), my wife (Jamaican) with American citizenship as well, was born in South Africa (when he is 18 he can decide if he wants to add South African...). He has British and American citizenship, and can get a Jamaican passport too, plus potentially SA (who have improved their dual citizenship laws recently). He considers himself British though.

The football we play is terrible to watch and very predictable. I hate listening to these pundits that only look at what we have achieved on paper. None of them waste their wages each week going to watch us play. So they don't truly know just how bad things have become.

turlo Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 He's staying isn't he. Top you need to act now otherwise we're going down. You've pumped in hundreds of millions into the club on Seagrave etc and we won't be able to afford the army of groundsmen required to maintain it if we go down into the championship.

He's Greek-Australian. Which makes him legally Australian. He has exactly the same legal rights as an Australian as someone whose never left Australia and comes from families who also never left Australia. You’re inferring he’s not properly Australian because he’s dual national. He absolutely is Australian and he is also Greek, you are still a national if you’re also a national of another country. Why do you have to be pedantic and diminish his nationality because he’s dual national? Edited 20 September 2022 by Sampson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusko187 Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 My huge concern with this situation is that if it's allowed to fester for too long, the damage becomes more terminal. The stats show we have all the makings for top relegation candidates and whilst I appreciate it's still early in the season and plenty of time to turn this around, if we fail to act THIS WEEK, I fear we will condemn ourselves to relegation. He has to go before the Forest game... and with the international break, this is the perfect opportunity. Forest will already be a hostile reception, things are going to turn real sour if we lose that game... already debating not going to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Oh and he's only ever lived in Lesotho and Zambia... I agree. My initial response was to the post saying "Aussie chap". Afaik greek authorities don't allow their citizens to cut bonds with their origin country. He was born in Greece by greek parents and lived there for 5yrs. By law he's Greek and he has also the Australian citizenship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
