Beşiktaş will elect its new president at the extraordinary general assembly. After Ahmet Akpınar was elected as the chairman of the congress starting at 10:00, the speeches of Hüseyin Yücel, who took the presidential seat after Hasan Arat's resignation and is a candidate, and another candidate, former board member Serdal Adalı, began. Both candidates attacked each other from the podium. SERDAL ADALI'S STATEMENTSFirst, candidate Serdal Adalı spoke. Adalı's statements are as follows; "I HAVE ALWAYS PUT MYSELF ON THE LINE FOR BEŞİKTAŞ""I am proud to be here in the 121st year of our community and the second century of our Republic. I feel the same way today as I did when I entered Beşiktaş's door. I have always put myself on the line for Beşiktaş, and today I am a candidate. "THOSE WHO MENTION BEŞİKTAŞ WITH A TRUSTEE HAVE NO PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY"Beşiktaş has been burdened with 100 million euros in debt, which has never been seen in its history! Over the next three years, revenues have been squandered recklessly, and those responsible for the poor performance in the last year have fled, declaring a challenge to run for the presidency of Beşiktaş! Those who mention Beşiktaş with a trustee have no place in the community! "THEY CO-CHAIRMANED"They did everything together and co-chaired. You mentioned Beşiktaş's name with fake signatures and commissions! The Beşiktaş community will not forget these. Our community should not worry; as long as we are here, Beşiktaş will not experience such days again. From now on, no one will be able to make such statements about Beşiktaş! "THEY WERE AFRAID TO FACE US"Why didn't they want to hold the board meeting that should have been held before the elections? Why did they flee, and why did they hide the truth? They were hiding the damage they caused to Beşiktaş; they were afraid to face us with this burden of debt. Beşiktaş general assembly members will give the respect this disrespect deserves today. "FROM NOW ON, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DECEIVE YOU"I have never said anything to my community that I cannot do. What I say today should be noted in history! From now on, no one will be able to deceive you! "NOT A SINGLE CENT WILL COME OUT OF THE TREASURY"How will a candidate who created this situation during their second term of presidency lead Beşiktaş? How will they deal with the structure that has been dealing with Beşiktaş for years? We have experienced the consequences of electing a president for Beşiktaş with perceptions and fairy tales! I ran for candidacy to revive Beşiktaş. We will bring our community together again. We will regain the trust we lost in the last year. We are coming with a plan for stability for the last 3.5 years. All our plans are ready to rebuild the football team. The necessary reinforcements and steps are prepared. Transfers during the interim period will be made without spending a single cent from our treasury, with sponsor support. HÜSEYİN YÜCEL'S STATEMENTSThe words of the other candidate, Hüseyin Yücel, who took the podium after Serdal Adalı, are as follows; "I HAVE NOT LEFT A SINGLE QUESTION UNANSWERED""Everyone here today is taking on a serious responsibility. But I know that beautiful days are as close as tomorrow. Since I made the decision to run for election, I have answered all questions. No Beşiktaş fan should have a single question left unanswered. Now I ask myself this question; "What have I done, wasn't I there?" I am a Beşiktaş fan by birth; my love for Beşiktaş did not start yesterday, and it will not end today! "IS IT REALLY LIKE THIS?"The honor of serving Beşiktaş is above all emotions for me, which is why I stand before you. Making this speech here today is above everything for me. They called me a traitor and a coup plotter! I was very upset, but I did not retaliate. Just a moment ago, Mr. Adalı used the word "coup"! Apparently, I am the most democratic coup plotter; I decide to hold elections as soon as I take office! I ask them, do you really think this way? Did I deserve these words? I have done nothing but love Beşiktaş and protect its interests. "I HAVE MADE MISTAKES"Am I flawless? Of course, I have made mistakes. However, I am sure of one thing: I have not made a single mistake against Beşiktaş, nor can I! That is why I stand before you with my head held high! "I SAY ENOUGH NOW"I say enough now! I do not want to carry the burden of those who are not here any longer! Dear general assembly members, what kind of president do you envision? Do you want someone who is constantly angry, who hits below the belt, and asks the Beşiktaş president, "Who are you?" or do you want someone courageous enough to invite all Beşiktaş presidents to the same table? "I DID NOT FLEE, I WAS NOT AFRAID"I am not in love with the chair; I am in love with Beşiktaş. I will never come before you as someone who falls victim to ambition, saying, "This is my last election!" I did not flee, I was not afraid, I did not deceive! "I DID NOT FALL FOR SHOW"I did not take advantage of the success achieved at the end of a year of struggle! I did not fall for show behind the Beşiktaş emblem. I did not undermine my opponent's projects with the stick of bureaucracy! I did not attack through a board member of a colorful team of fans that he chose! I did not try to create perceptions. I do not have social media trolls! I have always burned for Beşiktaş, I have always ignited for Beşiktaş! "THREATS HAVE BEEN MADE"Those who speak to me about money do not understand that these things do not happen without financial power. I have created a revenue ecosystem. I have worked with all my strength for Beşiktaş. I have formed a power alliance for 86.8 million to enter the Beşiktaş treasury. Companies that are leaders in their sectors became sponsors. Unfortunately, yesterday we heard that the owner of a construction company was threatened by the presidential candidate! "IT IS NOT A DREAM, IT IS REALITY"This strong picture may be a dream for some, but it is a reality for me. This reality is very important for Beşiktaş. Instead of congratulating, they thought about how to hit. I really do not understand. What kind of mind is it to block a project that will bring revenue to Beşiktaş? Dear Adalı, my dear brother, let’s sit straight and talk; why are you slandering, why are you trying to create perceptions? If you have so much time, do better, and we will applaud you. THE BANKS UNIONWe have a problem like the Banks Union. Our plan for this is clear. In the last 15 days, we have spoken with six names, one of whom is a former president. We have received a promise of 12 million euros. I believe we will complete this agreement with 45 people. "MONEY PREFERS A SAFE HAVEN"Beşiktaş will exit the Banks Union without carrying the burden of interest. How am I sure? Money prefers a safe haven. Mevlana has a beautiful saying, "Yesterday is gone, my dear, today we need to say new things." I will only take action. "WE WILL CARRY OUR EMBLEM TO THE TOP"As soon as we take office, we will roll up our sleeves for the football team. We know the deficiencies very well. We will immediately resolve the coach issue and the reinforcements. Our plans for the players who will leave are clear. We have established a football executive board. I have explained this system. The atmosphere in Ümraniye will change completely.
```This is not just something that can be achieved with money; it is also a matter of sporting intelligence. We will use this intelligence in amateur sports as well. We will work to elevate our emblem to the top in all branches. "WE WILL UNITE TOGETHER"We will unite with our supporters. I am aware of the complaints regarding ticket prices. That issue is with me, and there is no doubt about it. We will bring our supporters together with our players. Hopefully, we will revive the İnönü spirit. "WE ARE RESTRUCTURING"We will transform our communication. We are restructuring the communication unit of Beşiktaş with a digital media formation. We will experience the transformation required by the age in Beşiktaş communication.
