An unprecedented standoff occurred at Denizlispor, a team in the 3rd League. President Erhan Ergil, who has been in tension with captain Gökhan Süzen, stated, "The president for the Kırıkkale FK match is Gökhan Süzen. If our Denizlispor wins the match, Gökhan Süzen will still be the president of this team, and I will resign. However, if Denizlispor does not win, Gökhan Süzen will be indefinitely suspended under my presidency."

In the 3rd League team Denizlispor, while the players are seeking change in the club, an extraordinary offer came from president Erhan Ergil.

THE CAPTAIN SAID "WE ARE OWNERLESS"

Denizlispor Captain Gökhan Süzen stated in a press conference he held with his teammates that the club is struggling with financial and moral difficulties and that they have not found support. Süzen said, "We really felt that this team is ownerless. There are constantly promises made, but they are never fulfilled. The last salary payment was made by the former president on January 16. We no longer have any expectations regarding financial support. In addition, we have also been left alone in a moral sense," he expressed.

PRESIDENT'S ULTIMATUM: IF YOU WIN THE MATCH, YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT

After Gökhan Süzen's press conference, President Erhan Ergil shared on his social media account, "In the match against Kırıkkale FK to be played tomorrow, the president is Gökhan Süzen. I will still ensure the organization and match payments. If our Denizlispor wins the match, the president of this team will again be Gökhan Süzen, and I will resign. But if Denizlispor does not win, Gökhan Süzen will be indefinitely suspended under my presidency. A story will be created that we can tell to our grandchildren. That is the risk. Let Denizlispor win, I am sacrificing myself. Let's see who loves Denizlispor more. Get out on the field," he stated.
