Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı made statements regarding the agenda during a live broadcast he attended. Speaking on Ekol TV, Acun Ilıcalı criticized the former managers in the previous administration, stating that there is a group waiting for Fenerbahçe's failure.
''TALKING ABOUT UNPRECEDENTED THINGS''
Criticizing Fenerbahçe's former manager İlhan Ekşioğlu, Acun Ilıcalı said, "I need to make a statement regarding some moves made during this period. Friends in the previous Fenerbahçe administration, Mr. Ekşioğlu, are making very harsh criticisms. I respect the criticisms. The criticism from normal fans is above my head. Mr. Ekşioğlu is talking about unprecedented things, but during the 7 years Mr. Ekşioğlu was in charge, Fenerbahçe became champions only once. I don't see a mistake on my part. I take responsibility. I think we need to do better. A team that became champions once in 7 years cannot harshly criticize a team that has not been able to become champions in 7 years. That will be done by the fans." he said.
''THERE WAS A DEBT OF OVER 600 MILLION DOLLARS''
Stating that Ali Koç's team has brought the club back to financial stability, Ilıcalı said, "Opposition is one thing. Making opposition based on Fenerbahçe's failure is another. Ali Koç took Fenerbahçe over as a financial wreck. There was a debt of over 600 million dollars; they say it's 300, okay, let it be 300. We are about to bring this down to zero. It’s a debt that is being paid off gradually. He has financially stabilized the team, given from his own pocket, and does not demand anything in return. The quality of the squad has increased, last year we narrowly missed the championship, this year it hasn't happened, but with this economic structure, our goal is to chase the championship even stronger." he commented.
"THEY ARE WAITING FOR AND WANT FAILURE"
Acun Ilıcalı stated that there are those who are waiting for Fenerbahçe's failure, saying, "Fenerbahçe is playing a match against Bilbao. There is an unfortunate player mistake in the match. It’s a Europa League match. How do you view the reaction of a certain part of the stadium that is going crazy? Those who supported the losing candidates are waiting for our failure. If we receive full support throughout the year and face criticism at the end of the season, we should be criticized, I know the real Fenerbahçe fans. Even in November, our claim in Europe continues, a player makes a mistake, and they shout 'Management resign'. Is this goodwill? A friendly match was played, and they shouted in November during a friendly match. What is happening, what does a friendly match have to do with it? A group that lost the election wants and is waiting for failure today. I have been a Fenerbahçe fan since I was 5 years old; I have not missed a match. I have never seen a system that boos players this much. I saw Alex getting booed too; it could be for a day, but booing the team and the players... Today, the fans are booing a player who has scored 30 goals." he expressed.
