"THIS YEAR I WILL MAKE THE TEAM A CHAMPION AND LEAVE THE POSITION"
"Perhaps we will start the most important financial congress in the history of Fenerbahçe. Everyone will know everything. We will not find out secretly, in newspapers, on television, or on YouTube, I don't know where. We will find out here. I will tell you... We promised that we took the team to the Champions League, now it's time for the championship... You will see that we will make this team a champion this year. I will leave the presidency by making it a champion next year, know this! I will make a champion."
EN-NESYRI TRANSFER
"You sold a player named Yusuf for 25 million 700. 13 million of this was bought in cash, 12 million of which was forfeited. 1 million 100 thousand Euros were lost due to the forfeiture. What did you do? What debt! Look, be brave and brave."
"YOU TAKEN THE MONEY AND EAT IT!"
Let's talk about Orhan Bey and Sadetin Bey's story. You ate the money. Orhan, don't defend him at all. En-Nesyri came for 8 million, Mr. Ali Koç bought En-Nesyri for 19 million 500 thousand Euros. 6 million transfer fee is unpaid in 2,950 installments. The installment comes in April, you don't pay it. We receive a letter from FIFA on June 15. All documented. They bring it to us and we say 'we have to pay'. I will tell you how much money I paid, how much money came in. I will explain the UEFA correspondence. If you don't pay, the penalty comes. One of them is new, I paid for the first one and we sent the second one on Sunday, no problem. Look, I'm paying 6 million. You took the money and ate it. You took away 8 million because it was cheap. Say you ate like a man. Look Orhan, I don't have any intention, you are ruining my intention. We will change the ablution.
"SIDIKI DOES NOT PLAY WHERE HE GOES"
We sold Sidiki Cherif, yes we sold it! I would like to thank Hasan Çetinkaya, Cihan Kamer, Oğuz Çetin. They didn't come and pick up the player saying 'this is a football player'. We sold it for 25 million Euros through a person that Hasan knew! He can't even play wherever he goes! He was a great actor, that's why you sold him! 5 percent of the training share is gone. We give 10 percent commission. While he receives the rest of the money, he has another 16 million Euros to pay for the transfer fee. It could also be 18. 18? 18? I tied that money back 1 week and 10 days ago. I will hold a charter congress in January and February. I will say there that I will put in a clause stating that the property cannot be sold and spent on transfers, it would be problematic. So we won't eat it.
YUSUF AKÇİÇEK
You sold a player named Yusuf (Akçiçek) for 25 million 700. 13 million of this was purchased in advance and you had 12 million paid off. 1 million 100 thousand euros were lost due to the destruction. Did you eat or what did you do? What debt! Look, be brave and courageous.
"I WILL NOT PAY THIS MONEY!"
"We got the contract on June 10. Kante's manager keeps calling our people, accounting etc. I have a receivables of 3 million extra, pay it. We paid the other money. We said that we do not have an agreement to pay 3 million. The man sent the agreement. Two friends among you are making a contract with Kante. If we terminate Çağlar's contract, you declare that you will pay 3 million Euros to the manager and you terminate the contract, at the beginning of July. I am on duty. We "We are not signing, you are signing. If it is the court, you will pay this money."
"100 MILLION WILL BE LEFT TO THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION"
You say that we left so much money, but next year, after I take over, I will not sell lodges, VIPs, or combinations, I will not sell anything. Whoever comes in at 27 will be the owner. You say we left 100 million from Ataşehir, 90-95 will come. There is no money to arrive for 1 lira until March and April. Tell me from here! You're nailing 100 million. No money can come from there until April or May. However, if Mr. Özgür does his share, something will come. Come out and say it! 100 million will remain for the next administration, I will not let it be used.
