5 million TL support for Eskişehirspor from AKP MP Hatipoğlu: 'I am providing a bonus'

AKP Eskişehir MP and former Eskişehirspor president Nebi Hatipoğlu visited the facilities and met with the players training there. Before the play-off matches, the players, technical staff, and MP Hatipoğlu said 'amen' to the prayer that was recited.

Later, AKP Eskişehir MP Nebi Hatipoğlu held a press conference at the club building with the participation of Eskişehirspor club president Ulaş Entok and the team captains.

At the meeting, Hatipoğlu presented a blocked check for 5 million TL to the team captains to boost the morale of the black-and-red community. Additionally, Hatipoğlu called on the city's prominent figures to 'support' the 15 million TL bonus determined by the club.

"I am providing a 5 million lira bonus"

Speaking at the meeting, Nebi Hatipoğlu said, "Unfortunately, we could not reach the championship this year. Our neighboring city Kütahya was promoted directly to the 2nd League. Of course, we congratulate them as well. Secondly, we made it to the play-offs, and we will play the first matches away and the second matches on our home turf. I think this is a huge advantage. We want to use this advantage to our benefit and reach the final.

In this regard, as the former president of Eskişehirspor and a city MP who is always by its side, I would like to announce a bonus for Eskişehirspor's championship today. I would also like to deliver this bonus to the Eskişehirspor captains.

Here you go, captain. If Eskişehirspor promotes to the next league this year, I, as Nebi Hatipoğlu, am providing you with a 5 million lira bonus. This is a blocked check, and the funds have been deposited into the bank. You can cash it on the day you become champions. Best of luck," he said.

"I am launching a campaign today to complete the 15 million"

Adding that the management's target bonus for Eskişehirspor is 15 million lira, Hatipoğlu said, "I presented 5 million of this today. I am launching a campaign today for the other elected officials of the city, the appointed officials, and other prominent figures of Eskişehir to complete this 15 million. I have spoken with the President of the Chamber of Industry, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, and the presidents of the Eskişehir Organized Industrial Zone. I received positive responses from all of them.

I hope that with this start of mine, they will also make these announcements starting tomorrow. I have spoken with some of our mayors. Their support is also important. We expect them to provide support as well. Eskişehir has business people, industrialists, and former mayors; we expect their support here for this 15 million bonus that Eskişehirspor will provide," he stated.

"He said, 'I am ready to do whatever you want from me'"

Eskişehirspor President Ulaş Entok thanked Hatipoğlu, saying, "The campaign our MP has launched today is truly very important. Our MP is our deputy, our former club president, but above all, he has never withheld his mentorship from us, especially from the board of directors.

Whenever we called, he said, 'I am here.' He said, 'I am ready to do whatever you want from me' until May 15. As the first sign of this, our MP has already delivered the check to our captains. We expect this support to continue to increase from now on. We also invite the city's prominent figures, chambers, non-governmental organizations, and the city's leading business people to this bonus campaign. As our MP also said, we need to move up a league. As we move up, our revenues will increase. After that, I hope we will start planning the future of Eskişehirspor together," he said.
