We've run out of engineers, let's give them a lawyer

With the industrial revolutions, capital took on a different model.

Landowners with empty pockets were replaced by business owners who played with money and bought everything.

The salaries and social benefits they offered in the businesses they opened hit the landowners hard.

Workers who used to toil in fields, vineyards, and gardens for mere subsistence gathered around the industrialists in their ties and fedoras.

Thus, feudal landowners, struggling with harvest and yield problems, declared war on the industrialists.

A civil war broke out.

In the end, the Northern industrialist and the Southern landowner in America clashed over labor.

The Northerner tore the Southerner apart like carded cotton.

Since the Northerner had high technical equipment with the support of industrialists and their rifles had a longer range, even the 14-15-year-old children of the Southerners were forced to join the war and were wiped out.

Since the Ottoman Empire did not concern itself with the industrial revolutions, what happened to the South also happened to the Ottoman Empire.

The defeats it suffered in the Balkans suddenly spread to North Africa and the Arab geography as well.

Its army was defeated on every front.

Towards the end of the 1800s, with the effect of the second industrial revolution, feudal structures weakened, and small businesses engaged in industrial production grew stronger.

Even Yeşilçam was not indifferent to this subject and filmed the movie Züğürt Ağa.

The sharecropper from the village of Haraptar, with a tiny hardware store he opened in a side street in the big city, reached a position where he could give pocket money to the landlord who owned 40 villages.

Capital was now in the city.

The former sharecropper, trying to exist as a hardware store owner in a side street, began to become a comprador through speculative construction.

Even if they were not literate, they entered into major business deals with the principle that "a word is a bond."

They built infrastructure and superstructures.

They grew with the engineers they employed.

Engineers also became sought-after candidates for marriage, as they were high-income and creative.

The capital of the new-era industrialists was enough both to philander and to maintain order at home.

The rule of philandering was to be famous and to make those around you famous as well, and not to let them be in need of the ungenerous.

Then, bring on the club presidencies.

The shortest path to fame and reputation.

The presidents of the "Big Four" and all the clubs in Anatolia became these new engineer-backed speculative contractors.

Since the expenses of these presidents were heavy, they did more construction work so they wouldn't face capital problems.

As this wheel they built based on production grew, so did the successes in football.

Whatever happened, in recent times, engineers lost their accumulated capital.

Their influence in football diminished.

The vacated seats were seized by gangs of lawyers who are the new owners of capital.

Despite producing nothing, they took on million-euro transfers.

They bored everyone to death on television every evening.

They became sponsor lawyers for legal battles where the poor were crushed, and took on the role of fake Robin Hoods.

In the end, they hit the wall like a glob of spit.

Just like countries that ignore and sideline their intelligent engineers who think, design, and produce, and instead make their lawyers—who come to the agenda with shady dealings and understand neither industry nor production—the capital holders.
