Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı Spoke About the Referees File and Turkish Football

Beşiktaş Club President Serdal Adalı made a statement on TRT Spor screens. Adalı also made flashing remarks about the "Referees File" investigation.

Here are Adalı's statements:

"I WANT IT FOR TURKISH FOOTBALL, NOT MY OWN CLUB"

"I don't know how appropriate it is for us to talk about this issue while the judicial process is going on, 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 the MHK. I have always said that this is a situation that affects the situation of Turkish football, rather than being about Beşiktaş. 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. Currently, 7-8 people are probably being questioned. I said it on the first day, it is our priority. I am looking for Beşiktaş, for my own club, but I was saying that Turkish people have no other taste than football, and no one should be allowed to play with this taste. My expectation is that it will go all the way, to the bottom. This is my expectation, not only for my own club, but for Turkish football. I wholeheartedly believe that the matter will be done by the judicial authorities."

"WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS A UNION OF CLUBS"

"Operation, when this incident first started, I talked to Ertuğrul President, let's come together as the Clubs Union. This job does not seem to be over from today to tomorrow. I said we should get to the bottom of it, but if we do, I don't think the results will be achieved in 3-5 days. We need to come together as the Clubs Union and consult as soon as possible. I talked to Ertuğrul President. Dursun President was abroad, let him come back and come together. If everyone is available, we will come together on Monday."

"IF NECESSARY, LEAGUES SHOULD BE POSTPONED FOR 2 WEEKS"

"As the Clubs Association, we need to put it on the table. I don't want to rush things. It will not sound good to people, but after this international break, the leagues should be postponed for 2 weeks if necessary until everything falls into place. This much has already started, whatever needs to be done, whatever needs to be cleaned up, should be done and let's not talk about it again."

"MHK STILL HAS NOT RESIGNED TODAY"

"If we think about the next week, something will emerge in 3 weeks. Everyone expresses their opinion, a point will be reached. MHK still has not resigned to this day."

"WE HAVE NO JOY OR ENJOYMENT EXCEPT FOR FOOTBALL"

"Clubs have suggestions. Half of the suggestions come true, half do not come true. In the end, 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 turned out. We need to see how the current situation will take action. The whole of Turkey, do not worry, it will be overcome within 3 weeks. The will should be put forward with common sense. The will has been put forward. Our Minister of Justice made a very good tweet expressing 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."

STATEMENT FOR HAKAN DALTABAN

"When you look at the entire announced list, the reality is that there are 80 percent of people and managers who have nothing to do with betting or gambling in their daily lives. Hakan President is with us, he doesn't even wonder about it. I know the details. 2-3 years ago, he organized an event to keep people under the age of 18, under his own control, not to play outside, for a total of 2,000-2,500 TL. The federation did the job that the prosecutor's office would do. I wish he had given that list to the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and "If the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had investigated, it would have determined which one is a serious bet and which one concerns the club. Now there are hundreds of people, they have nothing to do with it. Let me tell you something sincerely, there are many people who did not know about the clause that managers cannot bet on until this matter came to light."

"WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING IN NECIP AND ERSİN"

"Betting is not something illegal in Türkiye, there are betting companies that the state allows and determines the conditions. It is not illegal betting, we need to explain that to people. I know my own managers. They have nothing to do with these things. We experienced the same thing in Necip and Ersin. They have nothing to do with these things. Maybe an account was opened under someone else's name on this list. Whether he really played or not, the Prosecutor's Office has now taken into consideration, the truth will be revealed as soon as possible."
