Aziz Yıldırım: I will not come to the council again!

The regular high council meeting of Fenerbahçe Club is held at Fenerbahçe Faruk Ilgaz Facilities in Kalamış. Fenerbahçe President Aziz Yıldırım makes a statement at the high council meeting.

Here are Aziz Yıldırım's statements:

"I will not come to the council again. I will be gone after May, I will not come to this club again! I will tell you why. I ask you to protect your club!"

"We have 60 thousand 65 members. 6 thousand of them have not paid their dues, 54 thousand people have paid. We came to the Supreme Council Board. The number of members who do not owe dues is 5416. The dues debt is 669, a total of 6085. Council Boards do not exist in the law. It does not exist in our Civil Code. It is an institution where all clubs come together to talk about the situation of the clubs and to enlighten them. It is the institution that should be. There are 6085 people, 5416 of whom have the right to join here. How many of us are we? The number I received when I arrived in the morning was 318, now it is 350 people.

"I will have a meeting with you once a month, and I will tell you the same things I told you here. There is no need for the others, they do not protect the club. Come here and express your opinions! Not to me, I am gone tomorrow!"

"Where are they, where are we, what a shame! I see the same people today. We will also remove the broadcasts from television. Mr. President, remove them. People talk to be on television, no one speaks for the club's problems. I will be gone in 6-7 months!"

"Last year... I had it removed. They say that Aziz Yıldırım left a debt of 600 million euros, without Aziz Yıldırım, you would not have seen these days. Know that too. You sold Ataşehir, Kayışdağı. I built a stadium, you sold the naming rights, you sold the lodges and season tickets, but you managed. Aziz Yıldırım did not sell any of them! Aziz Yıldırım left a debt of 2 million euros when he left in 2018. The accounts are here, in my hand."

"What did you do? In 2018, you sold the 4 players whose transfers were paid by Aziz Yıldırım and provided 45 million euros. What did you do next? Then you sold those players, the debt remained, you ate the money you received! The situation is not good, be aware. We are trying to bring money here, around 170 million euros, as sponsors, and we managed to get some of it in. We only took care of a part of it."

"The latest situation... We have injected 217 million euros of money into the club as of October 22. In return, we have spent 186 million 304 thousand euros. 38 million euros is money in the safe, for your information."

"Come and examine. Don't go into life with Aziz Yıldırım's debts. Please examine what these friends did and how they left it."
