Hellas futebol

Faliro,

What is your thoughts about the results of the Greek elections?

Very happy the communists are gone. They damaged Hellas badly in the 4 years they were in charge and were very anti Greek. Horrible people.

And what about New Democracy? Any expectations? They seemed to me an old prescription.

Yes. Well described. Same old same old. But at least they don't hate Greeks. At least they don't feel a Bulgarian/Turk/refugee is worth more than a Greek. At least they don't want the idea of Hellas removed and replaced with a Neo Ottoman reality. At least they don't despise Greek history.

Yes, ND are shit and weak. They are pro european garbage - so taxes wont go down - because they respect the restrictions/sanctions the EU has placed on the Greek economy. But at least they don't hate Greeks. Syriza was the most frightening thing Greeks have seen since the civil war in the 1940s. Insidious party. The Turks could not have done more damage to Greece if they had created a clandestine party to infiltrate and damage Greek society and break the fabric of the actual nation from within.

Let's just pause a second. Syriza actually labelled 75% of the population of Greece - 'fascists' for not wanting to give away 3000 years of Macedonian history to a newly formed slavic nation above Ellada. Just let that sink in. They a built a mega mosque in downtown Athens - one that was not required in such a prominent position. They did their best to encourage refugees and illegal migrants into the country - refused to let the Greek coastguard turn back migrants a few 100 meters to the Turkish coast. They increased taxes! 400,000 young Greeks left the country last year. The population of Hellas is barely 10 million! The list is endless. The damage - like what they did with Fyrom/Prespes Agreement - might have sown the seeds for a future war.

Thanks, Faliro. 

We used to talk - a few months ago- about the situation in Greece and you were not optimistic at all. Well for now Syriza is out and let's see what happens. The question with Fyrom will be a tough one.
Will ND break the deal? Maybe not. https://europeanwesternbalkans.com/2019/07/08/what-does-the-victory-of-new-democracy-mean-for-relations-with-north-macedonia/

Pretty sure ND wont attempt to break the deal. They could have stopped the deal dead in its tracks by withdrawing ND from parliament and forcing early elections. ND sold out the country too. The difference is, they would have never proposed this deal. No actual sane Greek would have. The damage is done - a future war could happen - which the Greek communists want anyway - because they envision a balkans and indeed a world of 1 people - with no nations. That was their dream they tried to complete in the Greek civil war and failed.

Aris acquire Brazilian Lucas Sasha who will replace Siopis - who decided to go to a Turkish mid-table team:

Panathinaikos are on the verge of extinction thanks to Alafouzos.

They only sold 4000 season tickets last season.

Dimitri Giannakopoulos - who owns the successful PAO Basketball section and is president of PAO amateur is trying to save the club through a new stadium project - something PAO should have had 20 years ago..

What he is proposing (after abandoning his ridiculous OAKA solution - Athens Alive) is to build a new football stadium and basketball arena on the Votanikos site - which has existing permissions for a 40k stadium that was designed by Manuel Salgado who designed the Dragao. The Votanikos site is in a central industrial area of Athens and perfect for the club. The Votanikos project was abandoned 10 years ago despite having full permissions and the mall part of project started. The mall went bust mid-construction and the stadium was never started after the land was cleared. The whole idea was reignited by Athens' new mayor Bakoyiannis who pointed out the site still had full permissions and the banks who now own the land still want the project completed. Here is the site, half finished mall on the right, stadium site left:



Problem with this is twofold. One - Dimitri expects the fans to pony up 20 million euros to get the project going or he will leave this time next year..  Two - he wanted the basketball arena and football stadium on the same plot - which instantly destroys the existing permissions. He has now been told to buy the adjacent plot to build the basketball arena and leave the 42k stadium untouched on the original site. Therefore PAO will still have all its institutions on one site, but he will need to buy the plot nextdoor for the basketball arena.

A working group has been formed. There seems to be one or two Greek industrialists/magnets who are lifelong PAO supporters and are willing to help - at least on the surface. The new stadium is PAO's only chance of survival. The new mayor of Athens - Bakkoyiannis - is 100% for the new stadium and the new basketball stadium on the adjacent plot. The new Greek Government has the same position as Bakoyiannis. The plot is now owned by banks who want the project completed. The PAO stadium will most likely have to be redesigned as the plans by Manuel Salgado are fairly old now. The working group that has be set up will meet on Friday and includes architect Agiostatitis. He designed the Karaiskakis stadium and also drew up plans for AEK's stadium years ago that would have made it 36k instead of 31k. His style always seems to include a clean gap between the roof and tiers.





If this project doesn't work, I doubt there will be anything left of the PAO football section this time next year.

=================================================

Aris have a relatively easy draw.. somehow..



If they beat the Cyrpiots (Limassol) they will then face Molde or Čukarički.

AEK look like this:



And Atromitos:



Atromitos wont beat Lega I think after selling their best players last year. AEK should go through. Aris - their big danger will be the Cypriots.
