Erden Timur speaks out: Communities are being dragged in different directions!

Galatasaray Deputy Chairman Erden Timur spoke after their 4-3 victory against Kasımpaşa.

Here are Erden Timur's statements:

"It was the kind of match described as a championship decider. Such a comeback after missing a penalty is incredible. We hope to be champions this year. There is a sense of belief and solidarity throughout the entire community. Everyone is united. May the one who deserves it be the champion.

RESPONSE TO ALİ KOÇ'S ALLEGATIONS

In that 3-hour speech that day, there was nothing left unsaid. These communities are being dragged in different directions. We said this months ago. Let's sign a document and have our phones and bank accounts examined so we can be cleansed, we said. Please, let's be cleansed now.

You don't fight this battle just to be a champion. You also do it for a social message. We will prove this to society. When you think of others as much as yourself, you get the result; I am underlining this the most. The better one will win."

WE ARE CLOSE TO AN AGREEMENT

On the other hand, Erden Timur stated that they are close to reaching an agreement with Fernando Muslera on a new contract. Timur said, "We are close to an agreement with our captain, with Nando. We have agreed on most terms."

THE FOREIGN REFEREE ISSUE

"Foreign referee? By all means. A foreign referee can officiate any match. While talking to coach Okan inside, I said let there be a 'robot referee.' Let it be wherever and however they want. As for the foreign referee vs. Turkish referee comparison, we should see what a foreign referee would do if you send people to their home, threaten their child, or surround the referee at a shopping mall. Fenerbahçe's proposal is acceptable to us. Our condition is this; we have been saying it for months, if we think that a foreign referee's split-second decision is fairer, let's select 3 foreign referees for the last 1 year, 2 years, 5 years. Let them watch the matches. Let them examine them for 10 years. Let them start from this year. Simple mistakes, excessive fouls, match-deciding errors, let them evaluate everything. We accept the result. Let's choose 3, or 5 if necessary. If they accept this, we accept it too. When I said 'the thief who runs from the scale is guilty,' this is what I meant. If you are running away from looking at the ledger, it means you are not in the right. To steer towards the truth, let's come and choose 5 referees.

You say there is a disease, we say let's go to the hospital to get an X-ray. If you are running away from the X-ray, it means you are saying something wrong in your claim."
