I thank our valuable coach and our players. They fought very hard. It was a stressful period for me and for them. We made a fast and good transition. We are doing well right now. Apart from doing well, it is no longer Turkey but the world that is talking about Trabzonspor. They are talking about the players we sold and brought in. This city has shown that it can bring certain players if it wants. Players come to Trabzon and are very happy. They talk about Trabzonspor everywhere." he said.

"I WILL DO WHAT IS NECESSARY"

Stating that he will protect the rights of his club, Ertuğrul Doğan said: "I continue to work for Trabzonspor. I am standing tall here to protect Trabzonspor’s rights. We have no business with anyone, but if someone has business with me or my club, I will do what is necessary, let me say it openly. There is no stepping back at all, always forward." he assessed. 

"I HAVE TWO GOALS"

Explaining his goals as the board, Ertuğrul Doğan said: "The Trabzonspor board has two goals. To build two facilities that will meet the needs of the next 50 years. Both in Trabzon and in Istanbul." he said.
