Emphasizing that sponsorships will be gained for the black-and-white club, Serdal Adalı said, “I did not go out and say to the community, ‘I will do this, I will do that’ without being sure about something. We do not live by making people dream. I have not opened any subject that I cannot do. We continue our sponsorship negotiations. Two Beşiktaş businessmen “There is a promise about this. It will be announced when the time comes. There is no point in putting the club in debt again, 6 months before the election. I know more or less what is going on in the board of directors,” he said.
I’LL STICK TO YOUR SIDE
Criticizing the current administration on financial issues, Serdal Adalı said, “We will establish a committee to investigate the previous period. If I win the election, we will of course have the period before me investigated. This will be decided by me and my board of directors. We will not do this to investigate anyone or look for someone’s mistakes. But we will not do this to investigate Beşiktaş’s penny.” “I will hunt down anyone who causes harm. You can rest assured that we will appeal to the judiciary in such a case,” he said.
CONTINUE WITH TOPRAKTEPE
Stating that they will not change the coach if he is elected president, Adalı said, “We will continue with Serdar Topraktepe until May. I will also talk to him. We will also seek advice from veteran people who have served before. Our coach made us happy with the victory in the Fenerbahçe match. It is good when the victories continue. He said “We trust the game’s intelligence. There is no need to rush the sports director issue. You can rest assured that we will make the necessary move after 1-2 months after the election.” spoke.
OUR UNDERSTANDING IS DIFFERENT
Stating that he met with the current President Hüseyin Yücel and held consultations, presidential candidate Adalı said, “We had a meeting with Hüseyin Yücel last week. I expressed my ideas to him. First of all, we eat yoghurt differently and our understanding of management is different about the merger. Unlike the show, we will carry out appropriate work in a club setting. “If it is convenient for him, he is welcome to come,” he said. Speaking about the charter change under the chairmanship of Hasan Arat, Serdal Adalı said, “When we come to power, a charter will be amended. Our friends are working for this.”
WE MUST ENSURE TOGETHER
Stating that the biggest deficiency within the community is spiritual unity and solidarity, Adalı said, “I think we need to come together with Yıldırım Demirören, Fikret Orman, Ahmet Nur Çebi, who was the president in the past period, and all the prominent figures of the community. Okay, even if we solve the financial problems by May, “I think the big problems are spiritual problems. We, as a community, need to achieve this unity as soon as possible. I think I am the only person who does not have problems with every person who was president in the past term,” he concluded.
THE TARGET IS THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Adalı said, “We need to recover for 1-2 years and return to our roots. We experienced our biggest championships by returning to our roots. Let them look at the work I did when I was a manager. How much money did we spend, how much did we bring to the club? Beşiktaş cannot have a goal other than the championship. The goal of the team we will build with young people is also “There will be championships again,” he said.
I WILL ASK YOU TO ACCOUNT!
Serdal Adalı, who announced his candidacy for the presidency at the extraordinary general assembly to be held in Beşiktaş on Sunday, December 29, held a press conference at a hotel in Beşiktaş. Adalı said that there is a deficit of approximately 50 million euros in the black-and-white club’s budget until the end of May and a second 50 million euro deficit until the end of December 2025, and said, “Our aim will be to return Beşiktaş to its essence by doing the necessary cleaning. We will unite our dispersed community as soon as possible and eliminate divisive measures.” “We will save it from rhetoric and show that it is the largest interconnected community in the world,” he said.
DAMAGE CANNOT BE COMPENSATED WITH MONEY
Adalı started his speech by stating that Beşiktaş’s reputation was damaged especially with what happened in the last month and said, “At this point we have reached, I must regretfully state that what we have experienced especially in the last month has unfortunately tarnished Beşiktaş’s reputation. Intrigue, tension, lots of lies and nothing with the name Beşiktaş.” Commissions, fake documents and countless unseemly issues have dragged our community into chaos, but at some point our Beşiktaş can tolerate it. “His reputation cannot be tarnished in any way,” he said.
YÜCEL DID NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD
Adalı stated that Hasan Arat and his management should be held accountable for what happened within a year and said, “Samet Aybaba said, ‘They forged my signature and made an offer of 5 million Euros without my knowledge.’ The general secretary said, ‘Hüseyin Bey made this offer, the president took it back. He also said, ‘Samet Hoca distributed the authorization documents to the managers even though he did not have the authority to sign them.’ Every day, the documents of Beşiktaş Club are on a different television screen. “They were shown easily as if they were an ordinary piece of paper. That’s why they should first give an account for their actions, and then maybe they can say a word or two about the future of the club.”
THERE IS A DEFICIT OF 100 MILLION EURO
Stating that Beşiktaş has important realities in this entire process, the presidential candidate of the black and white club said, “We have a picture in front of us with a debt burden that has increased by 4 billion TL and almost all of the transfer payments postponed until after May 2025. When we look at these data, Beşiktaş’s total debt is It has increased by 45 percent in just 1 year. There is a deficit of approximately 50 million Euros in this season’s budget until the end of May and a second deficit of 50 million Euros until the end of December 2025. “We are talking about a total deficit of 100 million Euros. On the other hand, all our income has been destroyed for the next 3.5 years and we do not have even a penny of income left. The point we have reached is obvious as a result of each football manager implementing their own transfer policy without any squad engineering.” spoke.
I DID NOT PROMISE WHAT I CAN’T DO
Emphasizing that he is running for the presidency for the future of Beşiktaş without waiting for May due to the crises experienced, Serdal Adalı said, “It is already time to face what we have experienced and open a clean, white page. Despite all the perceptions and manipulations made about me in the last election period, there is no account I can give to Beşiktaş fans, Beşiktaş’ There is nothing that I would feel embarrassed about. I have never promised anything to this community that I could not do, and I have never shared any imaginary project with my community in return. “I have always received love, trust and kindness,” he said.
WE WILL RETURN BEŞİKTAŞ TO ITS ORGANIZATION
Clarifying what their primary agenda would be if they were to take office, Adalı said: “Our most important priority will be to repair our reputation, which has been damaged in the last month, and to return Beşiktaş to its essence by doing the necessary cleaning. We will unite our shattered community as soon as possible and eliminate the divisive forces.” We will save it from rhetoric and show that it is the largest interconnected community in the world. By implementing a program that is economically sustainable, we will stay away from seasonal and instantaneous decisions. “We will achieve sporting success.”
BEŞİKTAŞ WILL NOT REMAIN IN DEBT
Stating that time is needed to improve the financial structure of the club, Adalı said, “We cannot escape from the vicious circle unless we remove the interest burden from the club. We will also implement the real estate project at the end of 6 months. We have other branches besides football. We need to be sufficient for everywhere. This cannot be done with ‘Sacrifice’ or “We, as a community, need to provide income other than sports income. We will work patiently and Beşiktaş will not have any tax debt to the banks or the state,” he said.
SPOTLESS TRANSFERS WILL NOT BE MADE
“We will implement new projects that will generate income as soon as possible,” said Ser dal Adalı, and continued: “It is not possible to achieve stable sports success without implementing these projects and paying off the Banks Union and high-interest debts. Let’s talk about what we will do for sustainable sports success and financial discipline in the next 3.5 years. We will return to the infrastructure system that we have been talking about for years and have expressed every season, find young Turkish football players both in Turkey and Europe, and bring them to our team in line with the work of our ready scout teams. For example, instead of incurring a cost of 30 million Euros for a 34-year-old football player, we will create a young squad by transferring athletes with potential between the ages of 18 and 24. Do not believe anyone, including me, who talks about the various star transfers, A plus coaches, and digital projects that will pay off Beşiktaş’s debt in 4 years that we heard about in the last election. “As of now, it is not possible to have bright shows or flashy transfers in Beşiktaş.”
WE WILL SOLVE TRANSFERS WITH SPONSORS
Pointing out that they know that the Football A team’s staff needs transfers in various regions, Adalı said, “We will resolve the transfers we will make in the January 2024 transfer period with the leading business people and sponsors of our community and will not impose an additional financial burden on our club. The cost of only 5 football players transferred in the past year is 100 million Euros.” “This is why it is impossible for Beşiktaş to make transfers on its own budget,” he said.
EAGLE WILL ENTER THE ‘INTELLIGENCE’ PERIOD
Stating that they will take correct and rational steps, Presidential Candidate Adalı said, “As of December 30, Beşiktaş will enter a period of ‘Intelligence’ that is realistic, solid and knows what it is doing, with all its sports and financial plans. Beşiktaş fans can entrust their club, which they love dearly and that they avoid, to us with peace of mind. “We will bring the club of our great leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the glorious Beşiktaş of the Republic, to the position it deserves,” he said.
OUR PREPARATIONS ARE FOR A 3.5 YEAR PERIOD
Adalı said that they aimed to create the Beşiktaş they dreamed of by carrying out the necessary work after being elected. Adalı said, “All our preparations are for the 3.5-year period. The work we will do for football in our projects is clear. We will present it to you after completing the analysis of the background work and its economic counterpart. One of the reasons why we are candidates in December is to spend the next 3 years for structuring.” .
