Fans gathered at the facilities to demand that the change of president at Gençlerbirliği Club be made through a general assembly. The supporters, who do not want the new president to be determined by the board of directors before the general assembly convenes, chanted slogans such as "Continue the struggle" and "This team is not anyone's farm."
About 200 fans gathered at the Beştepe İlhan Cavcav Facilities following claims that someone from the management would take over the presidency without going to a general assembly in the red-black club.
"THIS TEAM IS NOT ANYONE'S FARM"
As fans prepared to make a "general assembly call" at 19:23 at the entrance of the facility, the resignation announcement of Gençlerbirliği President Osman Sungur was shared on the club's social media accounts.
Fans who do not want the new president to be determined by the board of directors before the general assembly chanted slogans like "Continue the struggle" and "This team is not anyone's farm."
RIOT POLICE TOOK PRECAUTIONS
In the statement read by the fan spokesperson, it was stated, "We are against lawlessness. The management of our club is shaped by the will of the general assembly and is changed by the will of the general assembly. The principle of 'what comes with the general assembly goes with the general assembly' is the cornerstone of Gençlerbirliği. Any imposition of a change of president outside the general assembly is an unacceptable lawlessness, and we will not bow to this coup. We say 'general assembly' immediately and now." The riot police team also took security measures at the entrance of the facility.
