Another harsh statement came from Beşiktaş towards TFF.
The sharing from the black and white club is as follows:
We Know Your True Intention And Everyone Will See It
Mehmet Büyükekşi, President of the Turkish Football Federation, is trying to mislead the public by distorting the obvious facts in order to play into the hands of some clubs.
TFF President Mehmet Büyükekşi persistently makes statements that aim to mislead the public that 11 Süper Lig clubs are supporters of the said decision, regarding the scandalous decision they have taken, which is illegal and in no way compatible with fair competition.
The letter sent to the Presidency of the Turkish Football Federation on March 31, 2023, as a result of the meeting held by the Union of Clubs on March 29, 2023, upon the request of our club, is quoted below:
“Based on the consensus reached at the meeting we held on March 29 as the Union of Clubs, our clubs have been asked for their written opinion regarding the resolutions of your Board of Directors dated February 10, 2023 and numbered 55.
Upon request, one of our clubs in the Super League;
Based on this, 6 of our clubs, consisting of Corendon Alanyaspor, VavaCars Fatih Karagümrük, Gaziantep FK A.Ş., Atakaş Hatayspor, Medipol Başakşehir FK and Demir Grup Sivasspor, did not give a written opinion on the subject.
Our 6 clubs, consisting of Adana Demirspor A.Ş., Fraport TAV Antalyaspor, Beşiktaş A.Ş., İstanbulspor A.Ş., MKE Ankaragücü and Trabzonspor A.Ş., joined Gaziantep FK A.Ş. in the 2022-2023 season. and Atakaş Hatayspor should be ignored,
Our 6 clubs, consisting of Fenerbahçe A.Ş., Galatasaray A.Ş., Bitexen Giresunspor, Kasımpaşa A.Ş., Yukatel Kayserispor, HanimKredi Ümraniyespor, continue the decisions dated February 10, 2023,
On the other hand, if our Arabam.com Konyaspor club takes a new decision regarding the continuation of the decision taken on February 10, 2023, but not counting the Super League matches of the TFF, Atakaş Hatayspor and Gaziantep FK, the matches played by the same clubs in the Turkish Cup will be cancelled. They stated their demands to meet Demir Grup Sivasspor in the quarter-finals of the Turkish Cup, which will be played on April 2023.
The club’s letter is obvious. A statement that 11 clubs support the current system, and such an inference can never be made. Despite this, the President of the TFF is misleading the public by persistently giving false information. This is not a well-intentioned attitude. These attitudes of TFF President Mehmet Büyükekşi strengthen the feeling that he is a party.
While all these facts are clear, we have learned with regret that some of our clubs have been pressured to change their views.
Although all clubs were required to submit their written comments to the Association of Clubs by 17.00 on Friday, 31 March 2023, six clubs did not express their opinion and abstained. The managers of these clubs were called by phone and pressured to vote for the continuation of the current decision, and as a result of this pressure, the four clubs that abstained were obliged to notify the TFF directly in writing of their new opinions(!) regarding the continuation of the decisions of the TFF Board of Directors dated 10.02.2023.
Regardless of the direction of the Clubs Union’s views, it can be seen that the TFF is pursuing a preconceived and fixed idea. If we give an example; TFF Management, which changed the rule change rule with a new board decision after receiving the opinion of the Clubs Association, upon the reaction of the clubs regarding a PFDK instruction change that it put into practice, as in many other issues, explained to the Beşiktaş community why it did not apply the same method in this regard. like football cannot explain it to the public.
For TFF President Mehmet Büyükekşi, the skullcap has now fallen and he looks bald. Büyükekşi has shown that he is not at an equal distance from all clubs, and that he will not hesitate to commit unlawful acts in the interests of some clubs.
Mehmet Büyükekşi, who sees no harm in ignoring Turkish football and universal legal principles, cannot move our football anywhere with these choices. We invite the TFF management to revert from this erroneous decision as soon as possible, so that the current season will not be remembered with suspicion in the future, and we emphasize once again that we will never take a step back in this just struggle.
