Following Fenerbahçe's failure to finish the season as champions, reactions against president Ali Koç are growing.
Despite the investments made throughout the season and high expectations, losing the championship to arch-rival Galatasaray has caused great disappointment within the community.
Following the "resignation" chants from the stands, congress members have taken action to force the Ali Koç administration into an elective general assembly.
The process began with Hakan Bilal Kutlualp announcing his candidacy for the presidency, and Mahmut Uslu also declared his candidacy.
Ali Koç, in a statement made recently, announced that he would continue to remain in office and would not resign. However, in the face of increasing pressure within the club and the community, there is a shift in the administration's stance.
HOW MANY SIGNATURES HAVE BEEN COLLECTED?
According to a report by the Sabah newspaper, more than 5 thousand signatures have been collected so far in the extraordinary elective congress campaign initiated by congress members.
According to the bylaws, if 8 thousand signatures are reached, the club administration will be forced to hold an elective general assembly within 1 month.
DATE FOR ELECTION ON THE TABLE
It is stated that following the increase in the number of signatures collected, Ali Koç and the board members are looking more favorably at an extraordinary congress.
Some figures within the club are evaluating the option of converting the financial general assembly planned for September into an extraordinary elective congress.
Ali Koç had previously stated in a statement that he found the situation of going to an election through a signature campaign "humiliating." Ali Koç had announced that he would not be a presidential candidate in such a case.
