We should put in a tzatziki bid.

Apologies.

18 posts and nobody's asked "what's a Greek earn?"

According to Eurostat, Greece continues to rank near the bottom in average adjusted annual salaries across the European Union, with the average salary at €17,000 in 2023. Hungary is just behind at €16,900, while Bulgaria fares worse, with an average salary of €13,500.
This puts Greece in the third-lowest position among the 27 EU member states, a stark contrast to the broader economic indicators that suggest the Greek economy is on the path to recovery.

The average Greek worker faces financial challenges despite positive economic signs such as GDP growth and increased investment. Eurostat’s latest report highlights the growing disparity in earnings between Greece and other EU countries.

While the average salary in the EU rose to €37,900 in 2023—an increase of 6.5% from 2022—Greek salaries have increased by only 3.6%, from €16,407 to €17,000. Even with this modest rise, the average Greek salary still amounts to less than 45% of the EU average.

The salary gap becomes even more apparent when comparing Greece to the highest-paying countries in Europe. For example, a worker in Luxembourg earns an annual salary of €81,100—nearly five times the salary of an average Greek worker. In Denmark, the average annual salary is €67,600, more than four times that of Greece, while workers in Ireland earn 3.5 times more, with an average salary of €58,700.

Breaking down Greece’s €17,000 annual salary—factoring in bonuses and holiday pay—results in a monthly net income of about €962, assuming 14 payments per year. This is only slightly above the minimum wage the Greek Prime Minister pledged to reach by the end of his term. However, in a city like Athens, €962 barely covers rent for a three-bedroom apartment and utility bills and would only stretch to cover groceries and transportation with careful budgeting.

Given that a comfortable monthly income in Athens is estimated to be between €2,250 and €3,410, many Greeks find it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. These figures underline ordinary citizens' economic pressures despite the positive overall trends in the Greek economy.

They need to take con-Crete steps on the Rhodes to recovery.

Was it about two and six in Eric’s original quip?

Glad to see I got this thread back on track. It would've been a tragedy to let it pass with no puns

Eh?

Never mind, I get it

We've never had a Greek player

Well, Sam Baldock could have played for Greece (as evidenced by his brother George [RIP]).

What about Briam Kayal?

What about Briam Kayal?

Beram Kayal is Israeli

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I don't want much after Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about a winger, or a defender with some speed
I want a striker of our own
On a permanent, not a loan
Make my wish come true
Hey Stefanos Tsimas, it's you.

 

[Blue3]

Never heard of the lad but on the reel he looks a real prospect but then that’s just what these reels are supposed to do €24 million is a lot if he’s not the player we might hope for but then again if he is the dogs then the payback would be well worth the gamble

Have I been whooshed?
