Oligarchy[edit]

I suggest the following sources to back the claim that he is actually an oligarch:

Hey SportsGreece can you add the above citations please? You added the citation label, but I cannot edit the article. 80.46.66.176 (talk) 15:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure but could you write down the passages that refer to Savvidis and mention him as Oligarch? I have not access to those pages (except for Guardian) so I would like to know what they say and if by the term "oligarch", the journalists mean "Russian oligarch" which is different than the plain term. I have to say that I still do not agree with the label and putting that label in the introduction of the article apart from the term of "Russian Oligarch", whish it might apply to Savvidis and is used with a different meaning and context and with a more factual core than the plain term.

Wow...

FT: One of the Greek oligarchs is dubbed the Kremlin’s man because of his links with Vladimir Putin. The other is a shipping magnate and the proprietor of a media empire.

Guardian: The Russian oligarch and football club proprietor who stunned spectators when he stormed on to the pitch carrying a gun during a match in Greece has been ordered to appear to before a public prosecutor on Friday after criminal charges were brought against him.

FT: Here is the complete list of unsanctioned Russian oligarch billionaires, with links to each oligarch’s estimated net worth and short bios. (Fourteen Russian oligarchs who were billionaires before the war, but whose fortunes have since plunged below $1 billion, are not included in this list).

NYtimes: A Greek-Russian billionaire, a former member of the Russian Duma and the owner of a professional Greek soccer team, Mr. Savvidis has moved seamlessly between the sporting worlds of both countries. He has a finger in seemingly every facet of life in Thessaloniki, the Greek port city where he lives, and is a well-known player in the often feuding world of Greek and Russian oligarchs. 92.40.200.82 (talk) 09:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
