While there is some relief the proof is in the pudding. I’ll be reserving judgement until the end of the transfer window.
He certainly has a sense of humour when he can mention Duggie Sinkit and smile. I don't think I'd be laughing at the money he's picked while injured. It happens in football but there comes a time when you have to cut your losses, now is the time. I've no problem if he proves me wrong and has a great season but I'm not hopeful of that.
I heard that. I thought that was fair enough. Gambling on bringing in some in late again but it almost worked in January.
On radio tonight from a football finance guy that there is a big reduction in transfers and their values because of the restrictions . Also that tobacco advertising has to be gone in two years , and lastly that the really big blue chip companies are not sponsoring - so things will change across the board .
Ah, I see. I was just going off what it said online about Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü owning a 67.07% stake.
The chairman is elected by the members. The new one just happens to be the richest bloke in Turkey. And a friend of Acun,
Why would I hope that? Why? I want the club to do well. Ffs we really aren't allowed to be skeptical are we? 6 weeks of players been all but done and very little been done. I'm currently skeptical the signings will get done because, weeks ago we were expecting them. I'd rather wait and see than have complete trust. Is that fair enough?
Correction: He is not new, been there for 7 years. Not a friend of Acun, opposite political spectrum, Koc family known as anti-Erdogan. Acun is like his last chance, if Ali Koc (president) was not part of richest family in Turkey he would be kicked out by fans like 10 times already, they need to keep him, because club is enourmous debt. And Acun is popular enough to win election, against former president (who ran club for 15+ years in most succesful era)
When you think about it, FFP and PSR is a load of bollocks. What is the actual purpose? To prevent spendthrift owners from putting clubs into administration or liquidation due to debts? Or is it to prevent ‘financial doping’ like sponsorships being inflated above their fair market value? Does it foster and increase competition by levelling the playing field? I don’t think it does. The wealthiest clubs already have an advantage. It just seems like a closed shop for those who already had huge revenue streams and financial clout before rules came in. The traditional big boys first started cacking their pants when Abramovič bought Chelsea, then they really started ****ting it when the Abu Dhabi Group bought Man City and they had already gone through several pairs of dirty keks by the time the Saudis bought Newcastle.
He was only elected chairman in June. When Acun said he was invited to be a vice president by the chairman as he is a friend I assumed he was talking about him. Was he talking about the previous one?
Let me rewrite properly with all angles, Previous Fenerbahce elections were one-man elections, nobody dared to stand against him (Ali Koc). After unsuccesful 7 years, former president (Aziz Yildirim) decided to run again, so first time he (Ali Koc) had an opposition, (and a very strong one), so he had to bring popular faces like Acun and also a few government-endorsed faces like Hamdi Akin and again Acun.
Was at work so didn't watch live but recorded it. Is there anyway I can upload it for others who missed out?
Isn’t what it says here. https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/ali-koc-dethrones-aziz-yildirim-as-fenerbahce-chairman-132749
