Before the extraordinary elective general assembly to be held in Beşiktaş on Sunday, December 3, Serdal Adalı, one of the presidential candidates, answered the questions posed to him on many subjects, from his thoughts about the current A team to his transfer policies, projects, relations with the TFF and his rivalry with the other presidential candidate Hasan Arat.
“WE SEE A DIVISION IN THE COMMUNITY”
Adalı started his speech by stating that the club has been suffering from material and moral erosion for about 2 years and said, “It is increasing more and more. The financial part is not very important, the treatment of the material part is possible, but the erosion in the spiritual part is much more saddening and dangerous. Of course, this is the first reason for candidacy. Beşiktaş has never It has become unable to deal with the problems coming from outside that it does not deserve. There are many reasons why this has happened. First, there is a communication gap. Communication needs to be restored somehow. The management’s communication with the fans is very bad, this needs to be corrected. The press’s communication with the team is very bad. The communication with the management is very bad. Naturally, when you look at this lack of communication, you see a division in the community. This is both among the fans and when you look at the whole community. If we do not solve these as soon as possible, if we do not stop this erosion and make it into a fist again, unfortunately, we will face problems coming from outside. We cannot show the necessary reactions. We have had problems with the federation president in the past period. We have problems with other teams. That’s why the community needs to gather together and become strong again as soon as possible. We are aware that this is an issue that we will spend time and work on, hopefully after the election. “I believe we will fix it,” he said.
Emphasizing that the institutional structure should be corrected, Presidential Candidate Adalı said, “For approximately 10 years, since my first management period, we have not been able to create the institutional structure as we wanted. It seems that there is no team from Turkey that I can give as an example, but it is necessary to establish the institutional structure as soon as possible among the football teams abroad.” “To Beşiktaş. After that, you need to establish the system that we will implement in a way that those who come after you cannot disrupt it. We say let’s institutionalize, but in essence, haven’t you completed the institutionalization in the management part, you are giving that very bad image to the outside,” he said.
“WE WILL PARTY WAYS WITH 2-3 FOOTBALL PLAYERS”
Serdal Adalı also touched upon his opinions about the current football team and what path they will follow in the transfer. Adalı said, “Since the day I first announced my candidacy, they have always asked me the questions ‘What is your project?’, and the only thing I have said since the first day is ‘Our first priority, our biggest project, is to get our current team up as soon as possible and bring it to the place it deserves.” Otherwise, 85 -With a cost of 86 million Euros, we will be left with a team that failed in the Turkish leagues at the end of the season and did not participate in the Champions League in Europe. You cannot send a football player, nor is it difficult to get the quality, star football player we have always longed for, unless you qualify for the Champions League. “For this, you need to free up space from this side. Unfortunately, the first thing those star football players ask is whether the team is playing in the Champions League or not? It will be very difficult for us to bring them in. That’s why we are using 2-3 foreign quotas from this side without paying much attention to the cost.” We will part ways with one football player. All our work has been going on for 15 days. Scout teams are searching for football players in the regions our coach wants. Of course, half-time transfer is a difficult transfer, but hopefully God will bring us success, as he did in the past. “We will make the necessary changes during the halftime and move this team to the top,” he said.
“AFTER THE ELECTION, RIZA HOCA, MEHMET HOCA AND I WILL SIT DOWN AND DECIDE”
Reminding that Mehmet Özdilek and his scout team, who will take office as Sporting Director if they win the election, have been continuing their transfer studies for a long time, Adalı said, “There are points determined by our teacher Rıza. They are making preparations for those places with alternatives. Hopefully, after the election results are released on the evening of December 3, Rıza teacher and Mehmet teacher will be together again.” “And I will sit down and decide from which direction we will make these decisions. We want to complete these transfers by January 11,” he said.
“THE TRANSFER CANNOT BE MADE WITH A BAND AND HARMONIKA”
Evaluating the statements made by Hasan Arat, his rival in the presidential race, that they would discuss a transfer list by sharing a photo with PSG President Nasır al-Khalifi, Serdal Adalı said:
“Taking a selfie with the president of Paris Saint-Germain does not mean making a transfer. Transfers are not done like that anyway. You cannot make a transfer with a marching band. Also, there is no slave trade, the Qatari boss wanted it, and when he says ‘You will go to Beşiktaş’, there is no condition that the players will come.” . I always say that we make our transfers more quietly, we have done it in the past. We know how to do this, but I never promise anything that I cannot do in any period. I do not sell hopes or dreams to anyone. It is not my character. I always say what I can do. But I will.”
“THERE IS NO DREAM OR PROJECT THAT CANNOT BE DONE”
Stating that they have announced solid projects, the presidential candidate of the black and white club shared the details of the Beşiktaş Real Estate Project. Serdal Adalı said, “When I was asked if I had a project in the last 2-3 weeks, I said, ‘When will my projects after football be solid, I will see that they can be done, I will be sure, and then I will share them with my community. We also shared them yesterday. Among these projects, there is no dream that cannot be done. There is no project. We are not obliged to announce these projects just to get votes. We are not thinking that if we announce such a project, we will get votes. We have a real estate project. Beşiktaş will be able to grow seriously and pay off its debts in 3-4 years. It is a solid project that will be able to meet at least 80-85 percent of the demand and make the payments to the banks. We will buy the land here at the beginning of the week, hopefully after the election. Me and 2-3 of my friends in the management will finance this and we will transfer the title deed to Beşiktaş. Next There is also a team in the sections with lands on the right and left, who want to participate in the project on a shared basis in return for income. On another side, he says, there is 70 decares, we can sell it and share the revenue. That’s why I don’t want to say the location, the location, or the number, because there are lands around here that we can bring to Beşiktaş, in order not to cause a price increase.”
“BEŞİKTAŞ WILL NOT OWN 1 TL OF DEBT WITH THIS PROJECT”
Adding that the Beşiktaş Real Estate Project went through a preparation phase last year, Adalı said, “Also, this project is not a project of Serdal Adalı or a project of Serhan Çetinsaya, this project is a project of Beşiktaş” and continued as follows:
“Therefore, they should not try to make this project worthless. We are sure that we will win this election. Otherwise, if they want to do it, the owners are there if necessary, the money to be paid is clear, they will go and agree and continue this project. This is a residential villa project with approximately 300 to 400 people. We met with Emlak Real Estate. They also examined the entire project. They were also very positive. We also had a preliminary meeting with them. We have an agreed agreement. It will take approximately 8 to 10 months for the projects to be prepared, the zoning changes to be made, and then I estimate in the 12th month. We will also lay the foundation. It has a duration of 3 years, a total construction period of 4, 4.5 years seems to be around. We directed the revenues from here directly to pay the debts we received from the existing Banks Association and that consortium, without adding the direct revenues of the club. Those banks also “We will be involved in this business. Tax debts and insurance debts will be paid from here. I guess there may be some money left at the end of the project, but Beşiktaş will not owe 1 TL to banks, finance or insurance.”
“AKATLAR SPORTS COMPLEX WILL BE BUILT FROM SCRATCH”
When asked whether there are any other projects that will ease or cover the debt burden of the black and white people, Presidential Candidate Adalı said, “There are projects we will do in the short term. There is also the Akatlar Complex, for which we have signed. For example, the construction of the old Akatlar Complex here, the indoor sports hall, from scratch.” “It also has a certain period of time. The income that will come from here will also come after 2, 3 years, parallel to the other one, because there are leasable areas and commercial units here. The income that will come from here is almost simultaneously with the other one,” he said.
Adalı also mentioned the idea that the Banks Association agreement is not a burden for the clubs and said, “They have always helped the clubs. But when these projects start to return, we will not have such a problem anyway.”
“INfrastructure NEEDS TO PROVIDE AT LEAST 2-3 FOOTBALL PLAYERS PER YEAR TO THE A TEAM”
Explaining the Serpil Hamdi Tüzün Football Academy and the effects of this project on the infrastructure, Adalı said that he prepared the project in question in 2011. Adalı said, “We did not have any luck at that time to put it into operation. We currently have a request from the Ministry of Forestry for an additional area in a portion of our existing facilities. I also met with the Ministry of Forestry last week. We are making preparations, God willing, after Monday.” “We want to apply for this place and build a football academy on an area of 88 thousand square meters. We named it after our teacher Serpil Hamdi Tüzün to keep her name alive. Here, our infrastructure, which Beşiktaş has always been very proud of and we boast about, will become much stronger and the regular A team will be able to start at least once a year.” “We will finish this facility in a short time so that it can produce 2-3 football players and we will collect nearly 90 percent of the infrastructure here. I am very hopeful for the continuation of this project,” he said.
“It is not a good thing to deceive people with empty dreams.”
His rival in the presidential election, Hasan Arat, said: ‘They tried to do something similar to what we announced. “I think the rule that imitations keep the originals alive has been forgotten,” Adalı replied as follows:
“His own opinion. For example, we do not have an application project. We do not have an application project that will pay a debt of 25 million Euros a year. These are our projects, these are real projects, real numbers and these are projects that will be a cure for Beşiktaş’s financial situation. I do not believe that anyone has done such a project on a project. “I mean no disrespect. Efforts have been made. But I object to the figures because it is not a good thing to deceive people with such empty dreams and empty figures.”
“WE SEEK OUR RIGHTS”
Expressing that they can open a white page in relations with the Turkish Football Federation, Serdal Adalı said, “We will never break our stance as a Beşiktaş fan, nor will we break our mastery. We will start again from scratch. From now on, if we feel or see that Beşiktaş’s smallest rights have been violated, we will respond very harshly and “We will fight for our rights,” he said.
‘What do you plan to discuss in the first meeting with TFF President Mehmet Büyükekşi?’ After the question, Adalı said, “Let me elect a president first, then we decide when and where to meet with Mehmet Büyükekşi. We will protect the rights of all Beşiktaş as necessary. They should not have any doubts about him, the community already knows me.”
“WE HAVE TO WIN THE FENERBAHÇE MATCH TO CONTINUE OUR CLAIM”
While Serdal Adalı was expressing his opinions about the Fenerbahçe match that Beşiktaş will play at home a week after the election, he also addressed the members of the congress. Presidential Candidate Adalı said, “Hopefully, we will win the Fenerbahçe match. We need to win to maintain our claim. If they want to see Beşiktaş better from now on, if they want our general assembly members to do better from now on, if they want the financial structure to improve, if they want the children to proudly go to school with their jerseys the next day, it is very strong, “If they want Beşiktaş, which is proud, honorable and fights well against the outside world, they should come and vote. I thank all of them very much in advance,” he concluded his words. .
