At Bodrum FK, which added former Beşiktaş striker Vincent Aboubakar to its squad, club president Taner Ankara drew attention to facility issues. Announcing where Aboubakar will stay, Taner Ankara said, 'I brought a world star, and he will stay in a container now.'
Bodrum FK President Taner Ankara held a press conference regarding the current agenda. Making striking statements about the club's future, the transfers made, and the need for Bodrum to embrace the team, Ankara emphasized that past grievances should be set aside.
''BODRUMSPOR MUST UNITE''
Stating that all dynamics of Bodrum must come together for the club's sustainability, Ankara said they have been seeking support for about 8 months. Ankara said, "As 4 partners, we made these 4 transfers by pushing our resources to the limit solely for these fans. Each one is a valuable player. Each one came not for money, but for sacrifice. However, we have a problem with resources. Transferring players is not easy; costs are very high. We continue our struggle; we do not lose hope. But from now on, the district and Bodrumspor need to unite."
''EVERYONE IS RIGHT, BODRUMSPOR IS WRONG''
President Ankara, who said he has held numerous meetings over the past 8 months, primarily with local administrative authorities, the Chamber of Commerce, and NGOs, and that the grievances of the past should now be left behind, said, "There were previous administrations, this one, that one. There are angers and resentments. I personally apologized to everyone. Everyone is right, Bodrumspor is wrong. I accept this too. But I want to make a new start. Please, let us join hands. Let us be in unity and solidarity. Let us not say 'It's none of my business'."
"BODRUMSPOR IS THE HEART AND EXCITEMENT OF THIS DISTRICT"
Stating that Bodrum FK is not just a football club, Ankara said they see the club as a social project. Ankara said, "This project; Bodrumspor is not a football club, it is a social responsibility project. We all have our children, wives, and parents. Sports are essential for us to spend time together and get rid of bad habits. The temple of sports is the Bodrum City Stadium. Bodrumspor is the heart and excitement of this district."
''I BROUGHT A WORLD STAR, HE WILL STAY IN A CONTAINER RIGHT NOW''
Ankara also drew attention to Bodrum FK's facility problem, highlighting the club's difficulties through Vincent Aboubakar's accommodation conditions. Ankara said, "I brought a world star, he will stay in a container right now. Let's film those places. Let's hold the next meeting all together there. Let's take a look at those places too."
