The latest piece of news from within Palmeiras is to leave anyone speechless. We start with the gentleman to your right, Mr Piraci Oliveira, Palmeiras’ juridical director. Mr Oliveira is also a close ally to former president Mustafá Contursi, fierce opponent of the New Arena ever since the dawn of man. For these people, the [...]

That light at the end of the tunnel? It’s provisionally called “the New Arena” (Nova Arena). Scheduled for April 2013, it will be the most modern multi-use arena in Latin America and significantly contribute to Palmeiras’ revenues. Earlier this week, journalist Danilo Lavieri at iG brought the news that WTorre – the investor and constructor [...]

Klebergate Kleber didn’t show up for practice on Thursday morning. “My bad, I didn’t know it was on” was his excuse, promising to train double shifts the following day. Seen in a VIP area of a music club in São Paulo until the wee hours the previous night, Kleber was severely criticised in the social [...]
Never a dull moment

Being palmeirense is never having a dull moment. It’s a nonstop rollercoaster ride, wearing you down at times as if draining strength from your body and mind. Deal with it or look somewhere else for cheaper thrills. On Friday, the DOCUMENT was finally signed by president Tirone, settling the issue with WTorre that was haltering [...]

After several weeks of uncertainty, Palmeiras president Arnaldo Tirone might today (Tuesday) finally sign the document that formally gives WTorre green light to continue construction of the New Arena. Although the imbroglio has been touched upon briefly before at Anything Palmeiras, you’ve deliberately been spared the details in the ongoing negotiations, and this for two [...]

The New Arena – newer than ever Walter Torre Junior – owner of WTorre – is a man who believes in what he does. His enthusiasm is unmistakeable. Professionalism apart, one can see – not least by his constant interaction with Palmeiras supporters via social media – that he takes great pride in making history [...]
A week like most others: turbulent

We’ve had a week like most others at Palmeiras, marked by unnecessary turbulence. Fuzz about the New Arena – with Walter Torre losing his patience with the unprepared Palmeiras representatives sent out to “set things straight” – made headlines as Walter Torre at one point threatened to halt work on the site unless Palmeiras president [...]
Collectively constructing the New Arena
Posted in Administration, tagged new arena on April 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
That the New Arena is a great project and a prime piece of modern engineering is, today, common knowledge. That however didn’t stop a few enthusiastic Palmeiras supporters to come up with an interesting proposal of further improvements to WTorre – the constructor of the Arena – based on the concept of stehplatz, a German [...]
A perfect script

I believe we’ll be looking back at last week’s events as a mark, a turning point. It was a week when several pieces of the puzzle finally snapped into place. Messieurs Tirone and Frizzo had a chat with Lincoln and the gentlemen seem to have reached an agreement. Hopefully that means that the midfielder stays [...]

Media turbulence It’s been a turbulent week in the media. Again, the New Arena and coach Scolari were extensively targeted. In part the turbulence is fuel from within, with help from the outside. In the receiving end, a misinformed public which, unfortunately, includes palmeirenses. In regard to the Arena, biased and outright false “information” was [...]
