Galatasaray is carrying out a legal process with Taç Spor regarding ownership and receivables. The club argues that its broadcasting revenues are below European standards.
Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek made a statement at the October ordinary board meeting of the yellow-red club.
Dursun Özbek's statements are as follows:
"Unfortunately, we started this week with sad news. We started this week with the loss of our most senior member of our club, our very valuable elder brother Ali Fuat Diriker, my dear brother Fidel Berber, with whom I had the opportunity to work together, and our council member, esteemed actor Göksel Arsoy. I offer my condolences to our community, their families, and those who loved them, on the death of these valuable elders and brothers. May they rest in peace."
"WE TRUST OUR TEACHER OKAN"
"The 26th championship won by our football team and our continued success for 4 years in a row is a source of great pride for all of us. We have a 27th championship goal ahead of us. We want to be champions for the 5th time in a row. However, our biggest goal is to carry the stability and success in Türkiye to Europe. This season, we will put up a fight worthy of Galatasaray in Europe. We trust our coach Okan and our players."
"We are here to save the day and prepare Galatasaray's future. I invite all our members to attend the Financial General Assembly on Saturday. Our greatest desire is to make our general assemblies more participatory meetings. The participation of our members in these meetings, where decisions regarding the future of Galatasaray are discussed, is extremely important."
RESPONSE TO TAC SPORTS CLAIMS
Speaking about the claim that the yellow-red club's championship trophies were "preserved" due to the dispute between Galatasaray and Taç Spor, Dursun Özbek said:
"We have a problem with the people from whom we took over Taç Spor, it is true. We are taking it to court. They also have a receivable there, there is a promise made during the period of Ünal brother. Part of it remains. We are absolutely right in our claim, it has a legal dimension. They started an unrelated attempt here. That did not happen either."
"BROADCAST REVENUE IS EXTREMELY UNDERWIDE"
"When you look at our revenues, the amount of live broadcasting remains at the level of 2-3 percent. This is the complaint of all clubs. Why? Because we continue our activities in Europe. We are in competition with European football teams, we are competing. As Galatasaray, our stadium revenues are at a level to compete with our European rivals. The live broadcasting revenue is extremely lagging. There will be a tender in the coming period. I am also in the commission of the new live broadcasting tender. Our negotiations are continuing to raise it. I hope it will go well." "We expect to get results from there."
