This war, in short:
Young and choiceless American soldiers shipped off to slaughter innocent Iranian kids, women, and civilians while many of them get killed themselves. All to shield a blackmailed, 81-year-old mentally sick Donald Trump and his genocidal 76-year-old buddy Benjamin Netanyahu so he can expand his “Greater Israel” empire.
Meanwhile Trump distracts everyone from Epstein and his billionaire pedo pals raping little American girls. And the punchline? Broke, struggling, hard-working American taxpayers foot the entire bill for Israel’s war while these billionaire pedophiles & Zionists get even richer. Pure evil. Pure bullshit.
My Official Response to Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C.
Dear Chairman,
Thank you for your interest in doing business with Pogoń Szczecin and for your interest in our players, Léo Borges and Dimitrios Keramitsis.
I have always believed that sport should bring people together. Football should be bigger than politics, bigger than borders, and bigger than division. It should represent hope, respect, unity, and humanity.
However, there are moments in history when silence becomes complicity, and when money, business, and opportunity must come second to conscience.
Considering the ongoing suffering of innocent civilians in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and across the region, and considering the violent, genocidal and inhuman actions of the Israeli state, I do not believe it would be morally right for our club to proceed with any business transaction with a club representing Israel at this time.
My responsibility as Chairman & Owner is not only to protect the financial interests of our club. It is also to protect the values, principles, and humanity that our club must stand for.
Had I been alive during the times of Nazi Germany, one of the darkest chapters of history, I would not have done business with any sports club representing Nazi Germany, a regime that was responsible for mass murder and crimes against millions of innocent people.
Today, I must apply the same moral standard.
There are moments when ethics must be stronger than profit and money. There are moments when humanity must be more important than business and money. This is one of those moments.
For that reason, with respect, we will not proceed with negotiations at this time.
I hope one day football & sports can again be only about football. But until innocent people are protected, until humanity is respected, and until the world stops accepting the unacceptable, we must stand on the side of conscience.
Sincerely,
Alex Haditaghi
Chairman
Pogoń Szczecin
We are pleased that Pogoń Szczecin has received its license for the 2026/2027 PKO BP Ekstraklasa season and UEFA competitions.
However, we are beyond disappointed, hurt and strongly disagree with the decision to place the Club under "Financial oversight", and we will appeal this decision immediately.
For transparency, this “financial supervision” matter relates to a small technical issue of less than €45,000, (less than 200,000 PLN), involving two player bonuses where invoices were mistakenly issued at the beginning of the season instead of at the end of the season. To allow the words “financial oversight” to cast a shadow over the progress, discipline, and hard work of this organization is unacceptable.
Over the past 13 months of new ownership, we have paid, reduced, and eliminated more than 70,000,000 PLN in debts and potential liabilities. Pogoń Szczecin is not the richest or biggest clubs in Ekstraklasa but is now one of the healthiest financial clubs in the league, and this may be the strongest financial position in the Club’s history.
We are not from one of the biggest cities or clubs in Poland, but we will not be mistreated, underestimated, or unfairly judged or labelled as if we are nobody. We respect the process, but we will defend the truth, the reputation of this Club, and the great work that has been done.
We are confident the appeal will be successful.
“You Arab whores… We will kill you, drink your blood, & rape your girls.”
This is what Maccabi Tel Aviv fans chanted in Stuttgart.
This is who our political and media elites demanded must rampage through Birmingham, smearing you as racist if you opposed it.
UAE, Israel and all those Dirty Arab States in Persian Gulf, like Kuwait,Qatar, Saudi, always play a victim. They are corrupt, cold blooded killers and genocidal nations.
Exclusive: The United Arab Emirates carried out dozens of airstrikes against Iran beginning in the early days of the war, a deeper involvement than was previously known https://t.co/v5bwrMLKEd
11 months, ago, we made a bold decision.
We ended two outside catering contracts, brought everything in-house, built our own catering company, 1948 Catering, and today we have been selected as having the best catering and food in all of Poland.
That is not luck. That is vision, hard work, standards, and a team that refused to accept average.
I am so proud of Iwona, Paweł, and the entire amazing, hard-working 1948 Catering team. They believed in the mission, worked day and night, and proved that when Pogoń Szczecin does something, we do it with pride, passion, and excellence.
But this is only the beginning.
Next year, we promise it will be even better.
This is part of our bigger commitment: to create the best fan and supporter experience in Poland, and eventually, one of the best in all of Europe. #Ekstraklasa #Poland @tankesler
This year, we are preparing to place an order for uniforms, clothing for nearly 800 Academy players, from ages 5 to 15, the young boys and girls who represent the next generation of football in Szczecin.
These are the children & youth who train with passion, wear our badge with pride, and dream of one day walking onto the pitch as Pogoń Szczecin players.
This is also a great opportunity for local and national businesses to be part of something meaningful. If your company wants to support grassroots football, invest in the next generation, and stand beside the future stars of Pogoń Szczecin, we would be proud to partner with you.
Let us help take your business to the next level while you support a powerful cause, our children, our academy, our city, and the future of Polish football.
Any business interested in participating and supporting this important initiative can contact:

LOL. After 3 hours of thinking, this is the best comeback Poland’s self-proclaimed top journalist (🤡) came up with? Typical
When a narcissistic journalist wannabe, with an ego bigger than Pogoń’s stadium, has nothing intelligent left to say, he reaches for the same tired “no trophies” joke for the 500th time.
We will not be pushed, bullied, or intimidated by greedy, unethical football agents or their corrupt journalist friends who trade credibility for access.
Too many agents today operate with their own media mouthpieces, planting fake stories, pushing deceitful narratives, and trying to pressure clubs into bad decisions.
That old game does not work here.
Any agent demanding 20% or 30% sell-on clauses for an academy player, their families, agent or their inner circle is either delusional or confusing me with a different owner and sporting director.
Under my ownership, this will not happen. If other clubs want to run their organizations that way, good luck to them, this is not how we do it here. What truly saddens me is seeing some parents and agents treat young players like bank machines, caring more about short-term payouts than the long-term future of the player.
That mindset ruins careers far more often than it creates them.
We will also not pay an academy player the same salary as someone who has fought for this club in the Ekstraklasa for five or seven years. Respect & salary is earned.
Salaries we offer to our academy players grow based on minutes played, matches played, contribution, and performance. For an agent to ask now or in the future, 40,000 or 50,000 PLN a month for an academy player who has not played 1 minute in Ekstraklasa is delusional.
We commit to players who commit to us. Commit to our badge, our city, our people, and our organization. Loyalty matters. Belief matters. Long-term intent matters. If a player has no intention of staying, no interest in growing with the club, and only sees us as a temporary stop or a bank machine, then the question is simple: why should we commit to them? This is not about chasing the highest salary or making everything about money. This is about protecting the club’s football future and financial future. Our resources are limited and precious. Our time, money, and energy must be invested in players who believe in the project and want to be part of it. Our academy is not a charity, and we are not here to develop players for other clubs. Commitment must go both ways.
This is NOT targeted or aimed at no specific agent or for specific player. These are my thoughts and our vision and philosophy.
Three years ago, the most valuable player in Ekstraklasa was Kamil Grosicki. Two years ago, it was again Kamil Grosicki. Last year, it was Efthymios Koulouris, who scored 31 goals and became one of the greatest goal scorers this league has seen in many years.
Then, 48 hours before our first game in Radom, we found out that Koulouris, the league’s top goalscorer, wanted to go to Saudi Arabia. Eventually, we lost him just weeks before the end of the transfer window.
So in reality, we lost the top two players of the last three years in Ekstraklasa.
Kamil is a legend. But all great players, and all of us in life, eventually face age, injuries, and time. In Kamil’s case, because of serious injuries, pain, and the reality of age, we did not have the same Kamil for most of the year. He never made excuses and never publicly spoke about the seriousness of what he was dealing with, but the truth is that most players would have missed the entire season with those injuries.
Then came everything else.
We lost Leo Borges, one of the best left backs in the league, for five months with a broken ankle.
We lost Rajmund Molnar, our young and promising national team player and our new number 9, to an ACL injury for the entire year.
We lost Linus Wahlqvist, one of the top right backs in the league, for months with a knee injury.
We lost José Pozo to another freak accident for almost half of the year.
And on top of that, we had to sell Adrian Przyborek, second most valuable player in Ekstraklasa, to Lazio.
No team in Ekstraklasa had so many injuries to key players like we did. No team lost this many important players in one season.
How would Lech Poznań do if they lost Mikael Ishak for the entire year?
Where would Jagiellonia be without Afimico Pululu for the entire year?
Where would Raków, Motor Lublin, or any other team be if they lost their top striker, their best players, their full backs, and their young talents all in the same season? We lost a 31 goal scorer!
We made 15+ new additions, not because we wanted to, but because we had to. This team had no players.
Just before we purchased the club, several important players had already been let go, sold, or released. Vahan Bichakhchyan and several others were gone. This had also happened in previous transfer windows.
People criticize us for not signing or keeping Polish players like Marcel Wędrychowski, Rafał Kurzawa, Kacper Łukasiak, or others. But let’s be fair. We also signed and brought up many Polish players.
Patryk Dziczek. Jan Biegański. Igor Brzyski. Karol Angielski. Natan Ława. Jacek Czapliński, Young players from our academy. Polish players with future.
We did not ignore Polish players. We tried to rebuild the team while also dealing with injuries, departures, financial reality, and a new ownership transition.
And let’s also let’s talk about performance.
Rajmund Molnar alone had more goals in a quarter of a season than all of the departed players combined. I don’t need to go over the Paul’s, cuic, Pozo and other new player’s goal and play contributions.
Had we not allowed the 97th-minute goal against Cracovia a few weeks ago, we would have gone into the last game of the season fighting for Europe competition.
That is how close we were. How many games did we lose or draw this year because of one moment? One injury? One mistake? One missed chance? One late goal? missed penalty?
I think too many people in life are pessimistic. They look at the cup half empty. They focus only on the pain, not the fight. They focus only on what went wrong, not how much had to be overcome. This was a new ownership group to a team that was broken in every aspect.
A new coaching staff in Poland. More than 15 new players from different countries, cultures, languages, religions, and football backgrounds, They all came to this city and became one group. They created a great atmosphere. They showed love and respect for each other, for our fans, for this city, and for this badge. And they fought really hard.
This season was not perfect. Far from it. But this season also showed character, unity, fight, performance under pressure and a solid foundation we can build on.
We now know exactly what we need to fix. We know where we need to improve. We know what this club needs to become stronger. Pogoń Szczecin cant be built for one game, one window, or one season.
This was a very difficult season. But difficult seasons and times often create strong men, and strong foundations.
Do you really think it offends me when idiots like you, with no IQ or arguments repeat the same words? “Immortality.” “Zero tituli.”
It does not offend me. It reminds me of a parrot in a zoo that only knows how to say, “Hello. Hello.”
Actually, thinking about it, the parrot probably has a much higher IQ than the type of people who use these lines.
I came to Pogoń because this club has never won the league ( Zero Tituli). Because it has come close. Because generations have dreamed of it, but no one has finished the job. That is what attracted me. I had my option to buy 5 different clubs in Poland alone, but I chose Pogon Szczecin.
Nobody remembers the 8th, 10th, or 18th title the same way. But people will remember the first one. They will remember the team that finally did it after 80 years. The players. The coaches. The people who brought the first championship and the first cup to Szczecin.
To me, that is immortality. That is why players come here. Not because it is easy. Because it is hard. Because if they win here, they become part of history forever! so every season till we win something, has a chance to make those players immortal.
Pogoń Szczecin will win championships, Pogoń Szczecin will win cups someday.
My dream is simple. To be part of the group and team that finally makes it happen.
We did not screw this team up!
A striker who scores 31 goals covers a lot of weaknesses and issues. That is the truth.
When we arrived, the Polish players this team needed were not here. The # of players we chose not to keep were replaced by the same number of quality Polish players we wanted and believed in.
We will continue recruiting top quality Polish players, and we have opened a real pathway for young Polish players from our academy to earn their place in A team. This is not failure. This is rebuilding with purpose.
That is a very valid and good argument, and it is something I agree with 100%.
But we also have to remember that transfers and scouting are done months and months in advance. When we took over in late March last year, and then parted ways with Dariusz Adamczuk and the rest of the scouting department in May, there were no scouting reports, no advanced player discussions, and no properly identified transfer targets.
That meant @tankesler and our football department were already starting six months behind.
I believe we showed our response this January, when we made timely and strong transfers such as Acosta, Atilla, Patryk Dziczek, Cuic, Mads Agger and others.
This organization did not even have a scouting platform. Many things were still being done on paper. Since then, we have started building our own AI platform, which is helping us identify, target, monitor, and evaluate the right players before deciding who we need to watch, visit, and pursue.
This is a process, but we are building the structure, the discipline, and the technology needed to make better football decisions for the long term.
@Jakublewicz Thank you for proving my point: too many people are pessimistic and negative simply for the sake of being negative.
Since you seem to be such a great football expert, give me four names you disagree with and let’s have a healthy, constructive discussion.
We are very proud of this young man and believe he has a tremendous potential in our league. Based on the stats that are within 54 players played as a Striker more than 300 minutes in Ekstraklasa:
He is first in the league in Counterpress in Opponent Half where he also scored this week by stealing the ball with his persistent press.
Ball Recoveries, he is 8. in the league just behind Pululu
He is 10. in keeping the ball (turnover), above Bobcek and Bergier, just behind Ishak
He is 3. in carry and dribble on-ball value and 4. in shot on-ball value
He is 5. in post shot xG which highlights the quality of the shots (0.54 per 90)
His Goal Conversion Ratio is at 26.3% where he is 7. in the league
He has same value with Pululu and Bobcek in Open Play xG assisted (0.12 per 90).
He only played 469 minutes and already has 4 goals in 649 Minutes ( equivalent of 7 games)
He just turned 23 years old
He is 188 cm, 35+ km/h speed and has 61% aerial duel success so far.
