Galatasaray Sportif AŞ Deputy Chairman Erden Timur made sensational statements in the Gündem Özel program broadcast on A Spor.
Timur said that MHK’s former president Lale Orta sent a video to Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç. “Lale Orta sending the VAR video to Ali Koç! There is a record of this! I will tell you where it is. These are not street rumors. It happened on February 3, 2023. 5 days after Lale Orta became the president of the MHK. You have to report the entries to the VAR room. He wants to watch the recordings of the Adana Demirspor – Fenerbahçe match on the morning of February 3. A beautiful goal scored by Mert Hakan was cancelled. Lale Orta asks VAR referee Koray Genceler the reason for the cancellation. He says that he canceled it due to manual contact. That video is only available in the VAR room. He is on his mobile phone. He is withdrawing the position. Let’s examine what Lale Orta did on February 3. Because the records in the room are kept for 1 year. Did Lale Orta say, ‘I sent this position to Ali Koç’? Koray Gençerler did not play a match for 1.5 months. Lale Orta did not make any serious mistakes in this match. “He said, but why did he not play a match? How do we know that sending this VAR image did not occur in other matches? Let TFF examine this.” said.
Erden Timur also commented on the subject: “Lale Orta was someone who did not enter the VAR room very often. After that, she entered it 1-2 times. The broadcaster does not have this footage, but it is available on beIN in the USA. I don’t know if it was intentional or not.” he said.
“Did the President of MHK continue to search for the new program manager of the broadcaster after this incident?” said Erden Timur, “According to the information we received, these interventions have not ended. The MHK President called the broadcaster. He calls there and asks the referees to correct their comments” he said.
