Fenerbahçe Ordinary High Divan Board Meeting began with Şekip Mosturoğlu's harsh statements regarding Turkish football. Addressing the MHK investigation, Mosturoğlu said, "Referees appointed through the personal preferences of the imprisoned MHK Chairman have determined the league's fate, champions, and relegated teams!" Describing what is happening in Turkish football as a "tragic theater," Mosturoğlu called for the investigation to be deepened.

The Ordinary High Divan Board Meeting of Fenerbahçe Sports Club began under the chairmanship of Divan Board Chairman Şekip Mosturoğlu. While President Aziz Yıldırım's upcoming speech was awaited with curiosity, referee debates in Turkish football and the MHK investigation came to the fore at the opening of the meeting.

"IT DETERMINED THE FATE OF THE LEAGUE AND THE CHAMPIONS"

In his opening speech, Mosturoğlu, stating that Turkish football has long faced structural problems, recalled the warnings Fenerbahçe had made in the past.

Mosturoğlu said, "When we said that in Turkish football the system had decayed, the institutional structure had rotted, and changing names was not enough—reform was essential—they accused us of acting with the ambition of sporting competition. However, today the righteousness of Fenerbahçe Sports Club's statements has once again been confirmed, and in a very painful way. Referees appointed through the personal preferences of the detained MHK Chairman determined the fate of the league, the champions, and the relegated teams! It is also a possibility that this investigation will be assigned to another point."

"A TRAGIC THEATER IS BEING PLAYED BEFORE OUR EYES"

Also criticizing the management approach of Turkish football, Mosturoğlu drew attention to the statements made by the club for years. Stating that the problems they had raised in the past have emerged more clearly with today's developments, Mosturoğlu said that a "tragic theater" is being played before our eyes in Turkish football.

HE CALLED FOR THE INVESTIGATION TO BE DEEPENED

Continuing his assessments regarding the MHK investigation, Mosturoğlu emphasized that the process should be addressed more comprehensively. Expressing his expectation that the investigation be deepened, Mosturoğlu stated that merely changing names in Turkish football would not be enough and that a radical reform was needed.
