Thessaloniki mayor Zervas announced that the New Toumba project was approved by the local authorities and is moving ahead. During an interview he mentioned the projected completion of the project is in 2025 and that it will cost around 140 milion Euro and will be financed by Ivan Savvidis. He also mentioned that the 40,000 stadium capacity is possible, but it depends and the design by the architectural company. The project still has to be approved by the Greek government, and that's where I expect major opposition as long as the current government is in power.

Yeah it's re-branding of the old Veroia with a new tax ID number after it was run to the ground by the current O Aris owner Karypidis. He basically used the old Veroia as the stepping stone to gain control of his current team.

PAE PAOK denies that they received an offer for Esiti from China. Also all the major Cypriot teams have denied that they are interested in Warda despite the player visiting the island these days. Must be there on vacation. Still don't understand why PAOK keeps him on the roster. Get rid of him once in for all.

Petros Tsaggarakis is the ref for this game. Yet another son of an ex-referee to pursue daddy's career. Must be a great cash cow position.

For what it's worth PAOK TV lists this game on their web site.

Pretty sure the Esiti rumor is fake news although with the Chinese anything is possible. Besides Gumaraes, Parma has shown interest in Vieririnha according to some guy I just heard on the radio. In my opinion it's his agent's tactic to force PAOK to re-sign him. That scum Koutsioliakos tried that s%$#! before by planting stories in the press that Vieirinha is going to Olympiakos. Don't think Rebbe will bite.

Looks like Warda is heading to Omonia on free transfer.

Matos is probably the next one to leave. After returning from Brazil he had a talk with Rebbe concerning his future on the team and all options are on the table. I see him gone along with Vieirinha unless they decide to play a second role on the team as subs, something that i don't think either player will accept. IN othe news the youngster Chatzistravos was loaned to Lamia for one season.

Also we will get 1 mil for letting them show the Benfica CL game. As a package it's an excellent deal even though I prefer the PAOK TV. At least it appears that we (fans outside of Greece) will continue to enjoy the games on PAOK TV. The main benefit for PAE PAOK is that they can immediately report to UEFA the guaranteed 8 mil for FFP purposes. With PAOK TV they have to wait until the season is over and accounting makes releases their report.

Limnios got the COVID virus at the NT. It's a moot point since he is leaving the team. let's just hope he did not infect all the other PAOK players ahead of the Larisa/Benfica games.

Well it's obvious we are cleaning the dead wood.

Well they are going to be in Greece to call the cup final (if it happens). Might as well save some money.

Ingason got a red ad in 89th minute which also resulted in penalty which gave England the win. Iceland missed a penalty in 94th minute.

Panathinaikos complete dominance once Ferreira put in several youngsters in the game.

Nothing special so far from Ninua. Rey finally gets a chance.

Lyratzis and surprisingly Esiti having a good game so far.

Mihojevic is a starter in the friendly with Panathinaikos. Pretty good game so far.

Can't win a game if you can't score a goal. And against an average opponent. We better pick it up or we are not winning against Kosovo either.

5:0 final score

If you have access to Sport Plus (Dish, etc), they will have the Panathinaikos - PAOK friendly game live. Saturday at 11:00 AM CDT.

It's confirmed. The Panathinaikos - PAOK friendly on Saturday will be televised live on Sport Plus.

Reports are that NOVA is ready to make an offer of 7 mil Euro + bonuses to PAOK for the Superleague home games. This will be strictly for the game to be televised in Greece. PAOK TV would continue to show games outside of Greece.

BTW the U21 NT is losing 4:0 to Croatia at halftime.
