Milliyet columnist Cemal Ersen published an article regarding Fenerbahçe's agenda. Ersen made statements that will be widely discussed, saying, "Aziz Yıldırım dealt the biggest blow to Ali Koç. Yıldırım, who announced that he would bring Coach Jose Mourinho to the team in his promises before the congress, forced Koç to make this choice during the election phase."
Journalist Cemal Ersen shared his views on Fenerbahçe's agenda in his column in Milliyet Newspaper. Ersen stated in his article that the former president of Fenerbahçe, Aziz Yıldırım, 'stabbed' the current president Ali Koç by forcing him to bring in Jose Mourinho.
''AZIZ YILDIRIM STABBED FENERBAHÇE''
Cemal Ersen wrote, ''One of the teams that experienced disappointment this season is undoubtedly Fenerbahçe. I apologize for my expression, but the biggest stab was made by Aziz Yıldırım to Ali Koç, whom he competed against in the last election. Yıldırım, who announced that he would bring Technical Director Jose Mourinho to the team in his promises before the congress, forced Koç to make this choice during the election phase. I don't know who is to blame, but it is certain that the Portuguese coach will not leave Turkey and Fenerbahçe without leaving good impressions. European media has been writing for days about which team will be the new victim of the compensation artist Mourinho. I have no doubt that Koç is praying to get rid of his 16 million euro salary.''
''KOÇ WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS POLITE''
Ersen, who stated that Aziz Yıldırım would not be as polite to Jose Mourinho as Ali Koç, said, ''Would the situation change if Yıldırım had won the election? If he experienced the same things, he would not have been as polite to the Portuguese when his sugar levels rose, like Koç. Now, let's come to the signature campaign. This is an unprecedented initiative in the club's history. Koç made a stand by saying, 'If enough signatures are collected, I won't be there.' The innocence of Fenerbahçe's former Vice President Mahmut Uslu's call to Koç, 'Don't wait for the signature, resign,' should be questioned. If Ali Koç, who was preparing to smoke the peace pipe with Aziz Yıldırım after Hakan Bilal Kutlualp announced his candidacy, did not understand Uslu's outburst and intention, he should reconsider his plans. As a result, while Galatasaray fans are preparing to wear their fifth star tomorrow, I am sure they are smiling under their mustaches at what Fenerbahçe is dealing with.''
