Hüseyin Yücel, who took over the presidency of Beşiktaş after Hasan Arat’s resignation, makes statements about the agenda of the black-and-white club.
The highlights of Yücel’s statements speaking to TRT Spor are as follows:
“THE TRUSTEE COULD HAVE BEEN APPOINTED TO BEŞİKTAŞ”
-What was your reason for making the selection decision?
“Mr. Chairman’s decision to resign was very sudden. He told the group of the board of directors that he had decided to resign. According to our charter, the chairmanship is left to the second chairman. We sat down and talked with our board of directors. As a matter of ethics, after the resignation of the chairman, it would have been deemed appropriate for the board of directors to resign together with the chairman. When we do such a thing, the management will turn to the supervisory board. “There were a lot of problems waiting for Beşiktaş. If we had left it, it could have gone as far as appointing a trustee to Beşiktaş.”
“IF WE CONTINUED UNTIL MAY…”
“If we had continued until May, we would have become an appointed president. This did not please me. Also, it was a ridiculous agenda, like a coup president. Our opponents also said that we should not continue. I told them that we agreed. I had a meeting with the board of directors and we decided to hold elections. Different “There were also opinions, but I did not find it right and we decided to choose.”
“SAMET AYBABA COULD NOT DIGNITATE IT”
“There are many factors. There may be many opinions, but my opinion was a bit too much. Samet Aybaba was the football boss and Feyyaz Uçar was a member of the board of directors responsible for football. In June, a friend of ours called Friedel and Gio took office and the double-headership emerged. Friedel’ We had a perception that his arrival was all about the sale of players, but when he arrived, we saw that he would take on the role of sports director. As such, the person we call Samet Hodja was a big deal. He’s from Beşiktaş and he couldn’t stomach it.”
“BREAKS STARTED WITH THE GALATASARAY MATCH”
“Feyyaz Uçar had his meeting with Gio, then the president called me and said, ‘Why is Feyyaz teacher going there? If necessary, go and meet in person.’ I said, wouldn’t this be absurd? He was also a manager responsible for football. Even among the football players, Sametist football players and “We heard strange statements about brad players. From there, the disagreements started with the unfortunate Galatasaray match and the referee disaster.”
“PRESIDENT TERMINATED BRAD AND AYBABA’S OFFICE AT THE SAME TIME”
“While Samet Hoca, Friedel, Gio and Feyyaz Uçar were struggling in the quadrangle, we were looking for a way out of here. We held a board of directors meeting and decided that Football Inc. would be completely transferred to me and under my management. In fact, the president said, ‘Why didn’t we think of this before?’ When I was responsible, I said, ‘Brad should not go to the Maccabi match, let him sit and do his job.’ Hasan Arat called me and said, ‘If Brad is not going, Samet Aybaba should not go either.’ When I told this to Samet Hodja, he got angry. Later, the President dismissed Brad and Samet Aybaba at the same time. I also knew about this.
“I WANTED SERGEN YALÇIN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON”
“I had wanted Sergen Yalçın as a coach since the beginning of the season. Unfortunately, we lost in the Maccabi match. We had a conversation with the President and Mr. Kaan that night. I told them, ‘Don’t think about resigning, we need to part ways with the coach in the first place. Then, at the beginning of the year “I said let’s meet with Sergen Hodja, who has been on my mind for a long time, and our president said okay. We had a positive meeting with Sergen Hodja that night.”
“I WILL NOT STAY GLUED TO THE SEAT”
‘I don’t think long term. I won’t be stuck in the seat. “They told me, ‘You are one of the people who deserve this position the most.'”
“YOU CANNOT ACCUSE KAAN ŞAKUL OF CORRUPTION AND THEFT”
“Kaan Bey was personally responsible for the hiring of Gio and Brad. He carried out the legal and financial negotiations. After these events, he resigned. So I took that paper and tore it up. When you look at Samet Aybaba’s statements, he does not claim corruption, but he did not make any claims about bonuses or commissions. The perception was that there was corruption going on here, and the arrows were pointing towards Kaan Bey. If I accepted the resignation, you could say anything to Kaan Bey. and you cannot accuse him of theft.
“SAMET AYBABA WAS BY-PASSED”
“When Samet Aybaba made a statement, a perception was created. This perception is not true. There were aspects of what he said that were right. Samet Aybaba was bypassed. Gio and Brad made the transfers.”
“BOTH ARAT AND ADALI WANTED TO MEET ME”
“Mr. Hasan Arat and Mr. Serdal Adalı were fighting. Both the Serdal Adalı side and the Hasan Arat side wanted to meet with me. I told both of them that I could not come. But as the days passed, the situation started to take a different dimension. I went to him two days before the election. I said I would support him. “I told him that we became acquainted with Hasan Arat when we entered the administration.”
