Sports commentator İlker Yağcıoğlu made evaluations about Fenerbahçe. Criticizing the Portuguese coach harshly, Yağcıoğlu also made a striking claim regarding the transfer budget of the yellow-navy team for the new season. He stated, "If Ali Koç continues, he will spend a lot of money, he will allocate a significant amount. He has set aside around 200 million euros, and this will not put Fenerbahçe into debt at all."

Sports commentator İlker Yağcıoğlu evaluated Fenerbahçe, which has not achieved the success it desired in the Super League. Speaking to the Yeni Açık YouTube channel, Yağcıoğlu listed his criticisms of Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho and stated that President Ali Koç would allocate a substantial budget for transfers in the new season.

''IT'S NOT HIS PLACE''

Criticizing Jose Mourinho, Yağcıoğlu said, "In August, the champion was already clear; I showed the world what kind of league this is." I have never heard a statement that would tarnish the image of the country and the image of the country's football so badly in my life. I am 60 years old! Believe me, I have never seen such a damaging person or statement. You can't do this. His place is not that much; no one can say this. You cannot belittle the people and the league of the country where you earn your bread. Go ahead and send him away, whatever will happen, let it happen. You will lose from the start next year with a person who has this mentality. This mentality will not make you a champion next year.'' he said.

''HE HAS ALLOCATED 200 MILLION EUROS''

Ilker Yağcıoğlu, stating that President Ali Koç has allocated a large amount for transfers, said, ''If Ali Koç continues, he will spend a lot of money, he will spend a lot of money. What I have heard is that he has allocated an amount like 200 million euros and will make the transfers without putting Fenerbahçe into debt at all.'' he expressed.

''THE FIRST JOB SHOULD BE TO PART WAYS''

Stating that the paths should be separated from Mourinho, Yağcıoğlu said, ''Are you going to hand over the team to a person who says, 'The champion of the league is already clear' after building such a team? Will something change next year? It’s a problematic situation from start to finish. The worst decision is better than indecision. What has Mourinho given you? He hasn't won a single derby. I can't name 3 matches he played well. I didn't bring you here for this. Constantly change the team, create a rift with the players. Erase the stars of last season. There is no system in place. What happened? 'We couldn't do it anyway; my players knew that' or something like that. There is a meeting this week; I think the first job to be done should be to part ways." he stated.
