"Yes essential they do. PAOK has delayed their stadium project. Said they could not get the paperwork together in time to move the Kaftanzoglou next season."

Poor excuse.

Hope that PAOK and Panathinaikos can have new stadiums as Well.

Yes essential they do. PAOK has delayed their stadium project. Said they could not get the paperwork together in time to move the Kaftanzoglou next season.

PAO who are close to relegation have interest from a Thai businessman (Pairoj Piempongsant) to buy the club. Alafouzos has until Friday to respond. If the Thai is successful in aquiring PAO - he will most likely restart the Votanikos Stadium project (Manuel Salgado) - that already has full permissions.

And the Basket owner rumor?

Giannakopoulos? He is angry. He is always angry. Breaking rules etc. Watched PAO demolish Real in the Euroleague last night even though he is banned from the stadium.. he will get a fine.. again... and he has removed PAO from the Euroleague for next season. He is mad.  Of course he wants Alafouzos to deal only with him. Maybe his idiotic plan to move PAO FC to the OAKA will get the green light so to speak... but this week everyone is thinking of the Thai and his offer.. and the regeneration of the Votanikos project. Permission was granted for the Votanikos project in 2009 and expired in 2014. However it can easily be resubmitted and the Govt will regain losses the minute it is completed as they are tied to the financially project and down 8 million because of the project.

AEK score against AEL in the last minute 90+3 to make it 1-0 and go through (2-2) on away goals into the final of the Greek Cup. There they will meet PAOK - like last year..

Here is the goal that put them through:

A Thai owner for PAO or did I misread?

You read right. Pairoj Piempongsant. Negotiations are ongoing. He was connected with advising the Man City takeover. He is this man:

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/silent-figure-at-heart-of-blues-revolution-965914

He has made an offer for PAO FC and it is being taken seriously - at least that is what Alafouzos said:

http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Panathinaikos/piempongksant-eikosi-ekatommuria-eyrw-kai-ola-ta-xreh.5164715.html

They should call him PAO

Faliro has the takeover been completed?

Nope still negotiating. Seems a small difference in money. Around 9 million. I think early next week there will be an important meeting between them both.

Edit.

As I type this Alafouzos has accepted the Pan Asian Group offer:

20 million to pay pay debts?

I really don't understand. I think the €20 million will be for the team (building a CL ready squad) next year - that is the primary reason for buying PAO - easier route to CL money than with a cheap Premiership club or French club for example.  I am not sure the money they are giving Alafouzos will actually go to Alafouzos as I don't think he paid anything for his shares anyway (could be wrong). Alafouzos may put the money from the shares sale (€13 million?) directly to pay off immediate debts. Alafouzos claimed he would personally pay any debts incurred for the time he controlled PAO (about 6 years).  The investors also want to buy PAO's famous original training grounds from Vardoyiannis for around €7 million at Paiania (PAO left there 5 years ago I think):





Edit. Just read the deal is for the Thai purchase of training ground PAO moved to in 2013 - the Georgios Kalafatis training ground and an adjacent plot:

Here is a better explanation from a commie paper. However even they show they have shit for brains. AEK was basically foreign owned before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENIC_Group).

http://www.ekathimerini.com/227937/article/ekathimerini/sports/alafouzos-agrees-to-sell-panathinaikos-to-pan-asia-for-just-one-euro

Also seems the Thai is on his way right now to Athens from London.

Proper breakdown of the deal:

http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Panathinaikos/h-oikonomikh-analysh-toy-deal-alafouzoy-piempongksant.5169641.html

So Alafouzos owns 77% of shares (which he got for free - not 100% on that).
All his shares will be transfered to the Pan Asian Group for the price of €1 total.
The Pan Asian Group will then commit to capital share increase of €27 million.
€20 million of that goes to new players and running the club.
€7 million goes to pay off a bank loan - that in turn will soon be paid off by a new TV contract.
Separate to that - the Pan Asian Group will pay Alafouzos €13 million to cover this year's debts and a further €7 million for the ownership of the Kalafatis training grounds - and the adjacent plot.
Alafouzos will be liable for €9 million from his own pocket for debts. Pan Asian group is also liable for a further €9 million (unplaid players and club officials etc).

The reason no one has mentioned the Leoforos Stadium is because it is owned or in reality controlled by PAO.

So PAO is safe in the GSL, right?

So PAO is safe in the GSL, right?

The minute they pay off the major debt, they will be granted a licence to compete in next season's SL. At the moment they dont have the licence.

Tnak you.
That's really good for the GSL.
Can you tell me more about this new TV deal?

They should be able to get around 7 million from Nova for next season once they get their licence. They in the mean time leveraged 7 million from a bank to pay off debts and are hoping the minute they get their licence, they can get the TV money.

Full house next weekend at OAKA?

AEK told their fans today wont be their 'fiesta' and also not to bring flares of firecrackers. Still must be around 65,000 in there today:
