Why It Matters
The judicial process initiated against referees and MHK management in Turkish football continues.
Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı made a statement to TRT Spor. Adalı spoke for the "Referees File".
Serdal Adalı argued that the island given to the league should be extended if necessary in order to clean Turkish football.
Serdal Adalı's statements are as follows:
"I don't know how appropriate it is for us to talk about this issue while the judicial process is ongoing, but it is impossible not to talk about some things.
During my presidency, I voiced and fought against the things that were not going well in MHK as much as I could. I have always said that this is more than just about Beşiktaş, it is a situation that affects the current situation in Turkish football. At the point we have reached today, in parallel with everything we have said in the last year, the matter has been taken to the judicial authorities. Probably 7-8 people are being questioned right now.
I said on the first day, our priority is Beşiktaş, I am looking for my own club, but Turkish people have no other taste than football, I was saying that no one should be allowed to play with this taste and the necessary operation was performed.
My expectation is that it goes all the way, to the bottom. This is my expectation that everything will be cleaned down to the smallest detail. I want it not only for my own club, but for Turkish football. The matter is with the judicial authorities. "I wholeheartedly believe that what is necessary will be done."
"IF NECESSARY, LEAGUES SHOULD BE POSTPONED FOR 2 MORE WEEKS"
"If necessary, let the leagues be postponed for another 2 weeks. Something has started. Whatever needs to be done, how to clean it up, everything should be done. After that, let's not talk about it again.
Clubs always have suggestions. Half of the suggestions come true, half don't. Ultimately, we choose the TFF management. We say MHK is independent, but the tapes we have seen show that it is not very independent. We have been saying it for 6 months and a year, and it has come out. We need to see what action will be taken regarding the current situation. Big Türkiye, don't worry, it will be overcome within 3 weeks. Let the will be revealed together with common sense. The will has been revealed. Our Minister of Justice shared a very nice tweet explaining his thoughts. I hope it goes all the way and Turkish football breathes. "None of us, including me, have any joy or pleasure other than football."
"THE MIGHT BE A FOREIGN MHK"
"It could be the foreign MHK. They will do the right thing without even being influenced by the naked eye, left or right. I would never say no to that, it could be. If necessary, let's not play for another week before this matter is 100% to the bottom. This should be cleaned up."
