  1. It's hard because there has been a constant cycle of bad ownership over the last 15-20 years...maybe more some would say. People who are more interested in lining their pockets with money than investing it into the club for a greater future return. Idiotic business decisions in the end.

  2. Northerner,

    I think all the talk about the stadium you were referring to was just that. Talk. The admin was spewing out all that b.s. to take attention away from the the stupidity of their other decisions and actions. I wouldn't count on a new stadium any time soon.

  3. NHL is stupid. Fight all you want i dont care. we have NFL MLB NBA and GREEK SOCCER we dont need NHL am i right?

    The NHL isn't all about fighting.

    It's one of the hardest sports on earth. And when it's played the way it's meant to be played...it runs circles around the NBA and MLS in terms of speed and skill. The NFL can be one of the most boring things to watch. It's the media and money that's pumped into it that hypes it up so much. College ball is more exciting.

  4. Looks like Panionios is being investigated for match fixing in their UEFA match against Dinamo. I know this is old news but it seems that the German ref who blew the whistle on the Croat mafia driven match fixing scandal has admitted that the match played between the two clubs was indeed fixed.

    This isn't good news at all and Panionios might very well be punished bigtime for this one by UEFA.

  5. Just read in the paper today that PAO wants to use Toumba for all of their upcoming UEFA Cup or CL matches.

    If they did so, what sort of rent could PAOK expect to get for this arrangement?

    And is it just me or does it seems a little odd that PAO would travel all the way to Thessaloniki to play important Euro matches as opposed to finding some place in Athens?

  6. You forgot:

    2006/2007: ..Article 44 application

    2007/8: We're trying to work on a 5-year schedule. Dont expect us to win any games until at least 2010. Vokolos and Atmatzidis sign a new 5-year contract. Fratzeskos returns. 1.100 diarkeias on PAOK's first season in the new stadium. Mc Donald's is busier and expands.

    2008/9: PAOK are 11th after the first round. Maladenis is their best player. Aggelos said "in May, we'll be well if Panagia wants it" and PAOK fans burn the new stadium after

    2009/10: Rumours that Toursounidis is planing the big comeback. 30 diarkeias sold out.

    If PAOK dont get a srious board who know how to look ahead there is no cure for htis team.

    :LOL:

    Good one.

  7. Oh yeah....

    Goumenos might as well tell Orfanos that he has a bridge to sell him as well.

    This guy (Goumenos) obviously thinks that there are a whole bunch of stupid people in Thessaloniki. What makes him think he can convince people that they can afford to spend tens of millions of Euros on a brand new stadium when they can't even afford the few million for a couple of decent transfers. High ambitions I think...just no common sense.

  8. Here is the latest status on the re-furbishment of Toumba. As everyone knows all this work was supposed to be completed in July 2004 before the Olympic Games.

    The new bulding is finished, with some interior work still needed to be cmpleted. The major part that still needs to be done is the roof over gates 1,2 & 3. When I went to see Toumba back in August, they had the iron supports in place for the roof, but nothing was being done as to the rest of the roof. It is now reported that work on assembling the roof has begun and it is expected to be finished sometimes in November.

    November of which year? :LOL: :LOL:
    The year PAOK finally gets some stable ownership. :huh: ;)
  9. I am really impressed with the venues people in the forum have been too. Well done guys!! Ziaka, this was a fantastic idea. Here is my list.

    Greece:

    - Leoforos (met a whole boatload of players too!)

    - Toumba

    - Harilaou

    England:

    - Anfield (Liverpool)

    - Everton

    USA:

    - Detroit Silverdome (World Cup Match - Romania vs. Switzerland)

    Australia:

    - Penrith Panthers Stadium (Rugby)

    - Parramatta Stadium (Rugby)

    - Olympic Stadium (State of Origin Match and a concert!)

    Argentina:

    - La Bomboniera (Boca Juniors)

    - River Plate Stadium

    These last two that I have mentioned are without a doubt the best venues I have ever seen football been played upon. The fan atmosphere and the quality of football were just incredible.

  10. Awesome news.

    Anything they do with that place will be an improvement. To hear that they'll be going through with many of the above mentioned plans makes me enthused for the future.

    Perhaps PAOK are finally getting out of the doldrums after all.
