Conte statement from Sadettin Saran, who said, “We are coming with the most prepared management in the history of Turkish sports”!

Fenerbahçe announced its presidential candidacy Sadettin Saran, made statements. Saran responded to the allegations that he agreed with Conte for the position of coach and said, “Commenting on these issues would be disrespectful to the efforts of the coach and the players. We are working. We have prepared our projects. We have provided financial resources, we are working hard.”

Fenerbahçe Presidential Candidate Sadettin Saran answered Candaş Tolga Işık’s questions on TV100.

Stating that he has dreamed of being the Fenerbahçe president for a long time, Saran said, “Because I believed that I would do well, and of course I still do. Thanks to Ali Bey’s transparency, we have been working seriously since October and I claim that we are coming with the most prepared management not only of Fenerbahçe but also of Turkish sports history.” .

Saran’s statements are as follows:

“I was not a candidate in 2018, there was no point in dividing the votes”

It was my dream. Because I believe I will do well. I wanted to be a candidate at that time, but I couldn’t be a candidate. I was expelled twice. Once the president at the time said, ‘Come on, someone should come out and challenge us.’ So I came out and said, ‘Remove my ban, I’m in’, but I didn’t. People think they can’t get out. I couldn’t get out. In 2018, I gained my legal rights for the first time. First of all, it is not important to be a president, but to be a good president. I did not run in 2018, there was no point in splitting the votes. He was already defeated, Ali Bey won by a large margin. This time I went to Ali Bey in November. I said, “You have worked hard, you are very tired.” A great injustice is being done to us.

“I said if you won’t be a candidate, I’m in”

Our part is to support you in this process. But if you’re not going to be a candidate, I said I’m in. He said, ‘I believe that he will do this job well.’ “I don’t know if I will be a candidate, I probably won’t be, but never say never,” he said. ‘Can you open the books for us? I said, ‘Let’s do our work.’ Thanks, he opened it. It approached incredibly transparently. He did to us what was not done to him. There was a huge smear campaign against him. The smear campaign against him is one of the reasons why we are at odds with Ankara today, it is the beginning. Although it has been done to him for 5 years, it has been done to me for 20 years. It has been done since I came forward as a candidate. As you know, they said it was a FETO project, Mr. President, and letters were written to Ankara.

“We are coming with the most prepared management in the history of Turkish sports”

We said it was our responsibility to support you. He said, ‘Collect 500 signatures and I will open the books for you.’ Even during that congress, there were attempts to wear me down. These selection efforts are wrong when we are going to the championship. Thanks to Ali Bey’s transparency, we have been working seriously since October and November. We are coming with the most prepared management not only of Fenerbahçe but also of Turkish sports history. We owe this to Ali Bey’s transparency. There is a conundrum at this point. It is a difficult process. After yesterday’s defeat, they say, ‘Come on, let’s run for office even against President Ali.'”

“It would be unfair to attribute this failure only to Ali Bey.”

Why don’t you become a candidate despite Ali Koç? Do you find Ali Koç successful?

“Fenerbahçe has not been a champion for 10 years. It would be a lie to say there is success in football. But it would be unfair to attribute this failure only to Ali Bey. Today, it is believable that those who even know which restaurant in Istanbul a terrorist crossing the border entered, cannot find the perpetrator of those who shot our bus after our Rize away game.” Let’s talk about the Trabzon match. Where in the world can the match continue with a torch in the middle of the field? We had to stop there and get the 3 points, let alone the resignation.

“Penalty, was it a penalty? Absolutely not”

Let’s talk about yesterday’s match… Penalty, was it a penalty? Definitely not. I am an athlete, an objective man. I don’t get into conspiracy theories like that. But there is a great injustice to Fenerbahçe here. That’s why I’m not running for office. If I can make a difference, I will run for office. None of my family or loved ones want me to be a candidate. It’s a very depressing place. Those who come to that seat to give something rather than take something are important.

“Relations with Ankara started badly. Because of those within us”

It would be wrong to say that there is success in football, but there are great external factors. When you look at it in general, what has been done, transparency, volleyball, basketball, as a world sports club, there is success. Unfortunately, not in football. The reasons for this are as I just said. Relations with Ankara started badly. Because of what’s inside us. This process was not managed well. It needs to be fixed. “It’s not something that can’t be fixed.”

“We are not wanted to be champions”

Why can’t Fenerbahçe become champions?

“There are many reasons for this. We are not wanted to become champions. We have just gone over the reasons for this.”

“Trabzon incident is a joke”

Do you think that games are being played on Fenerbahçe?

“Yes, definitely. Yesterday’s penalty was not a penalty. I just explained it. The Trabzon incident is a joke.”

“If Ali Bey becomes a candidate, I will not join his administration.”

If Ali Bey becomes a candidate, would you join his administration?

“I won’t. Every brave man has a different way of eating yoghurt. I think Ali Bey is a good person. Our styles are very different. I told him too. We cannot get along. I don’t mean it in a bad way. We are very different. But he is very good for him, he will be very successful, he is a good Fenerbahçe player.” “When I look back, if I don’t win or if I don’t become a candidate, I brought good Fenerbahçe players to Fenerbahçe.”

About Conte allegations

Is it true that you agreed with Conte? Would you work with İsmail Kartal?

“Commenting on these issues would be disrespectful to the efforts of the players and the coach. We are working. We have prepared our projects. We are trying to provide financial resources. Our priority is our family, after that we left Fenerbahçe. We work day and night. We believe that we will make a difference here, too. With the most prepared team in the history of Turkish sports. We are coming. Our campaign is ready, but it is a disturbing situation for our friends. But in a very general sense, this is not a project. There are many projects between us and Ankara. We still have a chance to win the championship. A lot can change. I’m trying not to go through this selection process. I hope Ali Bey will make his decision as soon as possible. We have come to this point, I hope it will be announced soon.”

“We act without getting excited or acting like vultures”

It is claimed that you were not with Fenerbahçe on July 3…

“Americans have a proverb that says you can’t kick a dead dog. It’s like stoning a fruit-bearing tree. There has been taunting for 20 years. All of this is from a single source. We have gained a great deal of favor. We collected those 500 signatures in 48 hours. Without getting angry, We act without being vultures. I would be upset if there were no smears. Mongolians have a very nice proverb: If a wolf is not barked by 100 dogs, it is not a wolf. Therefore, these are normal, I like it too.

“I never believed that Fenerbahçe engaged in match-fixing”

Let me explain what they said on July 3. I’m going to speak at universities. During this conspiracy process, I never even said no to high schools. I went to Zonguldak University. A young boy who I remember was from Galatasaray – back then, of course, no one knew what was what – said, ‘What about the president, the state prosecutor, the state police, everything is obvious, the tapes are obvious, there is match-fixing.’ I also spoke in this vein. ‘Good brother, if there is match-fixing, you cannot blame it only on Fenerbahçe. I said, “If there is, everyone has done it.” Now Mr. Aziz Yıldırım also made a similar speech. He said, ‘If I committed match-fixing, I did it for Fenerbahçe, I did not do it for myself.’ If malicious people want it, they can take it. Galatasaray fans already use that sentence. Fenerbahçe fans use it against me too. I never believed that Fenerbahçe engaged in match-fixing.

“If we are elected, the lawyers who defended Fenerbahçe on July 3 will be with us.”

I had an interview in Hürriyet on that date. I said, ‘Fenerbahçe did not commit match-fixing.’ Also on that date, when Aziz Bey, who had unjustly expelled me from the club twice and messed with my dignity, went to prison, I called Acer Bey. ‘Brother Acer,’ I said, ‘He did me a great injustice, but he didn’t deserve this much. I said, ‘I am at your command.’ Thank God he had Uğur Dündar with him. He made the news a few days later. So these are not words, they are documented. They criticize me by saying ‘Where were you?’ Where were you when I was unfairly dismissed? My only crime was wanting to be a candidate. Those who believe these are either half-witted or those who want to believe. I asked Hulusi Belgü, I can’t go, I was expelled. Thanks to Hulusi Belgü, he is the first person to call me ‘President’ in this community. I asked and said, ‘I will pay cash for the lodge for 10 years + I am willing to have 2 branches in boxing and swimming.’ Has anyone else done this? He went out and read it there, but there was no response. If we are elected, the lawyers who defended Fenerbahçe on July 3 will be with us. “We will continue in the same way.”

Did he send a lien to Fenerbahçe Club?

“Now, you went to a Beşiktaş match abroad with your friends, your mother and father from home, and bought a combination ticket. You had a nice meal and came to the match. The president of your club sent a message and said, ‘I’m not buying it.’ And you said, ‘How can you not buy it? Take it, these are my tickets.’ Friends say, ‘I’m sorry, the president’s personal ambitions come before the club, he doesn’t.’… They said, ‘Whatever you do, go to court.’ What would you do, would you go and seek your rights? Galatasaray’s broadcasting rights, pre-selection, preparation, jubilee and advertising rights were negotiated for 3.5 million dollars. Same content, in the same year, I gave 10 million dollars to Fenerbahçe, 5 million dollars in advance and 5 million dollars as guarantee. letter. He called me and said, ‘Can we break the letter of guarantee?’ “They asked. I said, ‘You can break it.’ Fenerbahçe became the champion a year later. A little later, Fenerbahçe went public. 5 percent was worth 10 million dollars.”

“His personal ambitions got ahead of Fenerbahçe”

“My friends are coming to the stadium, it’s a qualifying match, our vehicles are coming abroad, there will be a live broadcast, etc. They say, ‘We won’t let you in.’ Is this a banana republic? Their personal ambitions have taken precedence over Fenerbahçe. They say, ‘Go, brother, seek your rights in court.’ ‘Don’t do it.’ This is our right. If we cannot send this signal abroad, this is it…’ They said, ‘I am a businessman. Populism corrupts business ethics. We did what was necessary. He said, ‘I will appoint a referee, Fenerbahçe Club will appoint a referee, you will also appoint one.’ All 3 referees, including the referee appointed by Fenerbahçe Club, found us right. What happened? 1 million 755 thousand dollars of extra penalty. He charged interest. I said I wouldn’t touch that money, so I didn’t take it. Ask who donated 1 million 755 thousand dollars to the club. Then we won the court. They had a good CEO and we agreed. . He said, “We don’t have any money.” I said give us a lodge, give us advertising rights, we don’t want money. They even postponed advertising rights. Then Ali Bey came. Mr. Ali also said, let’s give a little more discount, let’s postpone it a little further. We received 6 percent of what we were owed. We made a total loss. So that’s the whole foreclosure thing.”

“Turkish football has become a slave to the broadcasting organization”

Live broadcast tender was on the agenda. You made an offer together with Bein Sports. Has any injustice been done to you?

“First of all, Turkish football has become a slave to the broadcasting organization. The broadcasting organization says ‘The value of this is 50 million dollars’. We are entering the tender, they are paying 65 million dollars. There were higher figures before. The president of the federation previously returned a letter of guarantee. They said the difference, they cried, they didn’t take the Turkish people seriously enough. But they went and gave a lot of money to Messi. In such an environment, we entered the tender with them, they gave 65 million dollars for a year, we paid more than half a billion dollars for 3 years. Although their tenders were canceled, they did not have a letter of guarantee, they were invited to tender again and they won the tender for 180 million Euros for the year. We are saddened, but we are proud because we have ensured that Turkish clubs received an extra 300 million Euros in the contracts, due to the exchange rate difference. But yes, we are a little sad, we continue. There are different balances there. But we are preparing very strongly for the next tender. (Laughing) I applied for Qatar citizenship. Anyway, good luck…” (Ajansspor)
