Fikret Orman announced in a live broadcast whether he will run for the presidency of Beşiktaş.

In the extraordinary election process of Beşiktaş, former president Fikret Orman made special statements to Candaş Tolga Işık on Ekol TV. Orman also spoke about whether he would run for candidacy.

"I WAS GOING TO LEAVE IT TO SERDAL ADALI"

Fikret Orman's statements are as follows;

"Serdal Adalı has no tendency to scheme behind anyone's back. I told him I would leave the presidency to him. We finished the league with Bülent Yıldırım's management, and then the conspiracies began. The guy who will work in Çatalca will then come to the stadium and open a banner! I know who is behind this. You leave because you are upset, then you don't feel like doing it anymore. Serdal Adalı said, 'We came together, we will go together. I don't scheme like that.' He is a straightforward man; he doesn't let anyone insult him by setting up a site. He is a straightforward person; he may make strategic mistakes, but he won't take his truths to one side.

"I AM THE BIRD IN MY POCKET"

• You previously said, 'I will come when Beşiktaş needs me.' Why aren't you coming now?

I am the bird in my pocket. I wore the shirt of fire when no one was a candidate. I am always here, and I am not going anywhere. If such a situation arises, I will come. No problem. If no one runs, I won't leave Beşiktaş to anyone, and we will come and fix these things.

"IF NO ONE RUNS, I WILL RUN IN MAY"

If no one runs in May, I will run. We will go to Kartal Yuvası and shop. Beşiktaş needs income. We will handle these matters. Everyone will shop. There is a lot of demand for the derby, and the prices are good. Make sure there are no incidents! We will take care of our club, and we will overcome these challenges. When I became president of Beşiktaş, the club was in a worse situation."

"TUNCAY ÖZİLHAN, CEMİL KAZANCI SHOULD COME AND RUN"

We can hold a workshop. Serdar Bilgili should come; he is a very smart and decent man. Ali Koç is the president of Fenerbahçe. Tuncay Özilhan should come and be president. I saw in Forbes; Cemil Kazancı is one of the richest people. He used to want to be president, maybe he doesn't want to now. We are Beşiktaş fans; we should support each other. Serdal Adalı is a very good man, and Hüseyin Yücel can also do it.

"WHAT HAS EMRE KOCADAĞ DONE?"

Hüseyin Yücel and Serdal Adalı are serious candidates. I haven't seen any other candidates. Emre Kocadağ was a manager with us for six years; what actions did you see from him? Let's not pass the ball now. We gave him the retail business and then the transfer committee. Then they complained about me regarding the transfers they made. Will I forget those? I am not chasing the presidency in Beşiktaş.

"BEŞIKTAŞ FANS, BE CAREFUL"

Beşiktaş fans, be careful; don't upset each other! Fenerbahçe is our guest, and we will host them in the best way. Don't pay attention to those who want to make us fight with each other. Beşiktaş is about sportsmanship. I believe we will win the match. We have beaten Fenerbahçe there many times. Fenerbahçe may have beaten us many times as well. I won't go to matches until the lawsuits are over. They will all be resolved in 2-3 months. Looking at these lawsuits is ruining my nervous system. I haven't gone to work for eight years; in return, I got an ultrasound device, the wall was painted twice, pipes... These are temporary things, but they caused a lot of damage to me.
