Fenerbahçe Presidential Candidate Aziz Yıldırım made a statement on TRT Spor.
HERE ARE AZIZ YILDIRIM’S STATEMENTS
“In 2024, there was a sadness in the children due to Fenerbahçe not being able to become a champion and the lack of success. I saw this in my own children, too. They were also upset and complaining. Everyone expects success, and that success is the championship. When the championship comes, all resentments end, everyone hugs each other. Because even if you don’t know the person next to you, you hug him with the happiness that success brings.”
“FENERBAHÇE WAS PULLED DOWN”
“We see that it is necessary to have experience and learn from the past. I believe that we are the ones who know these lessons best. Because we have won the championship 6 times in the history of Fenerbahçe, and we lost the championship 3 times in the last matches. In addition, great damage was done to Fenerbahçe with the July 3 period. What happened with the extension of the match in 2006 was actually an organizational operation. Fenerbahçe’s budget had reached 250 million dollars. It was among the top 20 clubs in Europe. “It was among the top 30 giant companies in Türkiye. Then, in 2011, the effects of this operation were fully realized and Fenerbahçe was pulled down.”
“WE WILL UNITE WITH THE COLUMN”
“Our most important strength and assurance is our experience. Türkiye needs Fenerbahçe to be successful. When Fenerbahçe is successful, Turkey will be happy too. We are coming to get Fenerbahçe back on its feet. We will achieve success by uniting with the community.”
“If success comes, resentments will also disappear. I am a leader, not a president. I have the experience to do anything. That year is also this year.”
“DIFFERENCES STARTED BECAUSE THE CHAMPIONSHIP DID NOT COME”
“Since there has been no championship in Fenerbahçe for 12 years, divisions started. Everyone started to pull to different sides. Dissensions and arguments arose among people in the form of ‘this and that’. As a result, Fenerbahçe turned into a structure that gave the appearance of failure. My friends and I came together and became candidates to prevent the greatness of the Fenerbahçe community from becoming debatable and to ensure that our children could proudly wear and carry their jerseys to school.”
TRANSFER STATEMENT: I WILL BUY TWO FORWERS
“I will buy two foreign strikers until the election. The names are clear. If I buy them today, I will buy them for 10 liras. Tomorrow, it will be 8 liras. This will write a negative for the club. I will not give the names of the two foreigners whose transfer we are working on, but if they announce their transfers, that is different. I will go to London to have a meeting. We will make our decision at the weekend.”
“THERE WILL BE NO EXIT FROM KADIKÖY”
“Kadıköy is hell. There is no magic in Kadıköy, there is heart. The fans, the players and us have hearts. There is no way out. During my presidency, the opponents were happy when they drew. Everyone’s feet were shaking. We will win every match at home. We will reorganize it.”
“WE WERE GOING TO BRING MOURINHO IN 2003”
“In 2003, a manager contacted us to appoint Mourinho. We were stuck at that time. Then, when he moved to Porto, we could not hire him.”
ABOUT AYKUT KOCAMAN
“We do not have any issues with Aykut Kocaman yet. If necessary, we will evaluate it. We also invite our former valuable players to join us. This place will become a family.”
Question: “Is Aykut Kocaman one of the coach candidates?”
Aziz Yildirim: It may happen, but I’m not saying it happened. Let’s be elected once. What happens if I say ‘I will make you a coach’ before I am selected, and if I am not selected tomorrow?
ABOUT EDERSON
“Ederson is a good goalkeeper. We paid him a high fee, but it is not his fault, it is our responsibility.”
ABOUT JORGE JESUS
“I have no contact with Jorge Jesus.”
“LET’S FORGET EVERYTHING…”
“Let’s forget everything. Let Ali Koç and Hakan Safi come. I am here as an older brother.”
“IN THE ORDER THAT NO ONE IS DISTURBED…”
“I was never involved in anything. We talked once a year and I told the truth. Also, I did not go to the stadium for 8 years so as not to disturb anyone.”
“WE MEET WITH SÖRLOTH BUT…”
“We had a meeting with Sörloth, but there is no clear result yet. It may or may not happen.”
ABOUT SALAH ON FENERBAHÇE’S TRANSFER AGENDA
“Muhammad Salah wants a salary of 20 million euros. 30 million euros with tax. He wants a 3-year contract, 90 million euros. If it is what we need urgently, we will get it, our Football Committee will decide on these.”
ABOUT GALATASARAY
“Galatasaray spent good money. In my opinion, they are in a closed box. Fenerbahçe is more transparent. Issues like this much debt etc. are talked about everywhere. Galatasaray, however, is not said. If Fenerbahçe becomes the champion, they will return to our current situation.”
“2010/2011 CHAMPION IS FENERBAHÇE”
“The champion of the 2010/2011 season is Fenerbahçe. I will not talk or let anyone say otherwise.”
