The president of Samsunspor, Yüksek Yıldırım, made striking statements about the Trendyol Super League and the topics on the agenda. Yıldırım also made very talkative remarks regarding the structural discussions in Turkish football.
"THIS 'STRUCTURE' SERVES THE 4 BIG CLUBS"
Yüksel Yıldırım, in a program he attended on Ekol TV, said, "Everyone is talking about a 'structure.' It seems to exist, but no one can define it, like a deep state. This 'structure' serves the 4 big clubs, but if we look at the least, Trabzonspor gets the most."
"GALATASARAY DOES LOBBYING THE BEST"
Speaking about Galatasaray, Yüksel Yıldırım stated, "The club that does the 'lobbying' work the best in Turkey is Galatasaray. Their relationships with TFF and MHK are more advanced than other clubs."
"15 PRESIDENTS HAVE A SECOND TEAM"
Yüksek Yıldırım responded to criticisms regarding his alleged support for Galatasaray by saying, "What is it, I supposedly support another club! Go and check, 15 of the 19 clubs' presidents have a second team. The president of Antalyaspor is a Fenerbahçe fan, Mecnun Başkan, the former president of Sivasspor, was a Fenerbahçe fan, Göksel Gümüşdağ is a Galatasaray fan, Adana Demirspor's president Murat Sancak is a Fenerbahçe Congress Member, Eyüpspor's president is a Galatasaray Congress Member. Let them look! Am I the only one with a second team?"
"I WROTE BEŞIKTAŞ'S STATEMENT"
Speaking about the tension with Beşiktaş, Yüksel Yıldırım said, "On December 8, through agents, Beşiktaş asked our coach, 'Would you consider it?' Our coach said, 'I am not going anywhere, I am happy.' Our coach is not stupid! I will never have a problem with Beşiktaş, but I wrote down a page of the Beşiktaş Club that does not know its limits."
RESPONSE TO SERGEN YALÇIN
Responding to Sergen Yalçın's reaction towards him, Yüksel Yıldırım said, "Sergen Hoca is a smart man. I said, 'Why would he get into that chaos?' Sergen Hoca snapped at me, 'Does he know what I have been through?' How was I supposed to know these things?"
TRABZONSPOR FANS' REACTION
Regarding the reminder that "Trabzonlular are angry with you for saying 'Samsunspor, the King of the North,'" Yüksek Yıldırım said, "But this is the truth. Samsun is the number one city in the Black Sea for life. My goal is to make Samsunspor a champion."
