'THERE IS A EXPECTATION OF UNIFICATION'
Speaking about the election process, Hakan Bilal Kutlualp said, "There is an expectation of unification in the public. I worked with Mr. Sadettin for 8 months. He is a very good Fenerbahçe supporter, and I congratulate his courage. Although he did not participate in the signing process, the emergence of another candidate is a gain. The issue of unification exists both in terms of pressure and desire. Our council announced that there is no obstacle to Mr. Sadettin's candidacy. We will sit down and discuss how to minimize risks and how to cooperate. His priority and my priority are the interests of Fenerbahçe. We do not have the mentality of 'I want to be president, no matter what happens.' I set out to ensure that such a mentality does not come to Fenerbahçe." he said.

"I LEARNED FROM AZIZ BEY"
Speaking about his past days at Fenerbahçe, Kutlualp said, "I learned management from Aziz Bey. We lost 5-1 to Galatasaray. We went down, the president called me to his side. He said, 'You became champions today.' Everyone was startled. He said, 'Forget this place today, the cup is not that important.' People came alive as if they had been doped, and we became champions that year. This is something I learned that day." he commented.
"THERE IS NO FOOTBALL INTELLIGENCE IN FENERBAHÇE"
Hakan Bilal Kutlualp stated that there is currently no football intelligence in the club, saying, "Right now, there is no football intelligence in Fenerbahçe. I won't mention names, but my football intelligence will come from Germany. I believe in the German school." he stated.
