"WHAT KIND OF PLAYER GROUP IS THIS! TAKE IT, I'M QUITTING"
In his statement, Mesut Bakkal said, "Money is coming to the locker room, we are talking, we are discussing, but the players don't care. I will talk to the management now, it's not working, there's no need to force it. I'm leaving now. Four coaches have left before me. These players, they are not fighting. What kind of game is this! What kind of struggle is this! If I need to blame the players, I will blame them, I have never seen anything like this. If I had the right to change 11 players, I would change all of them at halftime. A little dignity, a little character. I came here just for the sake of Ankaragücü. I didn't talk about a single lira. But what a situation I encountered. What a careless group of players this is! If the problem is me, take it, I'm quitting," he expressed.
