Şekip Mosturoğlu: "Today, our rightness has been painfully confirmed"

Fenerbahçe Ordinary High Council Board Meeting is held at Fenerbahçe Sports Club Faruk Ilgaz Facilities. Fenerbahçe Sports Club President Aziz Yıldırım, Supreme Council Board President Şekip Mosturoğlu and Council Board members attended the meeting.

The meeting started with a moment of silence and the singing of the National Anthem. Fenerbahçe Supreme Council Board President Şekip Mosturoğlu, in his opening speech, said, "We have witnessed important developments in Turkish football in the current month. While we were voicing these issues, our opponents were saying that they did not correspond to reality. Fenerbahçe Club and the people representing the club were given very large, record penalties in this process. All of these penalties are penalties given by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) due to the statements made about the referees. These penalties have never been imposed on any other club in history. The words we have been shouting from this podium for years, 'A tragic theater is being played before our eyes', have come true. As we said that reform was necessary, they accused us of acting with the ambition of sporting competition. Today, our rightness has been painfully confirmed. The fact that the President of the Central Referee Board (MHK) has been arrested within the scope of the investigation of the referees' file means that the organized structure that we have been facing for years has been revealed by the MHK President. "There can be no talk of fair play in a climate where the referees, who are on duty with the personal preferences of the detained MHK president, have determined the relegated players and the champions," he said.

"TURKISH FOOTBALL CANNOT AVOID UEFA INSPECTION"

Stating that the referees gave statements about their internal affairs, but this was not enough, Mosturoğlu said, "We expect these referees to share their experiences with the prosecutor's office in all aspects. It is seen that the refereeing institution has entered a spiral of nepotism and injustice, from amateur to Super League. No one can talk about fair play in the process where referees are arrested for match-fixing and incitement. Our hope is that the crimes thought to have been committed within the scope of an effective investigation will be revealed in all aspects. As the legal processes develop, this process will continue." We will be involved. We are in a period when UEFA sends observers considering the extraordinary developments in Turkish football. Our opponents' cries for resignation are not to change the unfair order, but to return it to their own interests. Our desire is for the system to change radically, not for the people. It is not possible for Turkish football to move forward with this order. If we do not come together for a radical institutional change in the Turkish football system, it is clear. "The truth has a habit of coming to light. Our struggle is not against individuals, but against the corrupt order," he said.
