Immediately after his arrival childress stated to the Greek media:

"I feel really good coming back. I am happy and can't wait for the new season to start. I am sure that we will win a title and make our fans happy this season." Childress stated and concluded:

"The new guy will help the team a lot. They are very good players and their presence will make the team even stronger. It is very positive that the team did not make many changes and have kept the same squad core as last season. We were a very good team last season but I think that this season we will be even stronger after adding bits and pieces that were missing last year."
