'STEP DOWN YOURSELF AND GROW'

"I want to give Ali Koç one last piece of advice as an elder. Step down yourself and grow. Build a good team, wait, work, and learn. They will send you off with signatures. Don't do it. Step down. If you want, ask for a vote of confidence. It won't work if you leave via signatures."

'WE WANT YOU TO LEAVE'

''I had a promise to former Fenerbahçe directors and Fenerbahçe laborers. It turned into a birthday party in an unwanted way, even that became an incident because you had fun. Aziz Yıldırım had said, 'We haven't seen a good day, every day is bad'; we have experienced everything we haven't lived in 7 years during the Ali Koç era. That is why we want him to leave.''

''The promises you made in 2018... A person keeps at least one of these promises, my brother, you couldn't keep even one. You say, 'They say Ali Koç is president, Fenerbahçe is champion, we will hear it more,' well, if only we had heard it once. If you had made us champions once, these problems wouldn't be happening. This place has a championship deficiency.''

'WHY DIDN'T YOU NEGOTIATE FOR OSIMHEN?'

''You sold so many players to Napoli! Didn't you have any dialogue with their presidents to negotiate for Victor Osimhen? That's how these things work. You say things like, 'I am close to the French club.' We don't have that. Even though it's not like that, there are those who call us and love us.''

'IF WE WEREN'T UNITED, Aziz Yıldırım WOULD BE IN JAIL'

''We never acted as an opposition. Aziz never did, God is my witness. I spoke once, you told me 'you're blabbering on.' Then I gave you a very harsh answer, Ali Koç. You said, 'I will go on TV with you, I will talk,' you couldn't go, you couldn't do it. We are Fenerbahçe fans. We don't say 'these' or 'those' at Fenerbahçe, we fought together. We solved ominous issues with unity; if we weren't united, Aziz Yıldırım would still be in jail. They asked for 100 years of imprisonment for them.''

'WE TOOK THE BULLETS, WE TOOK THE BEATING'

''We took the bullets, we took the beating. You talk about a 'structure'; we won 4 championships despite Haluk Ulusoy. Children are crying, young people are crying, 50-year-old men are crying. I guess you don't walk among the people. That is why you need to leave. I am holding this press conference for the unification of Fenerbahçe fans.''

'I WILL ALSO SIGN'

“There is tremendous participation for the signature campaign. Either you make a decision for a general assembly or these signatures will be collected! I think it is wrong to give signatures, but if he does not make a general assembly decision within a week, I will also sign.”

'HE IS HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME RIGHT NOW'

‘Aziz Yıldırım has no idea about my 'if it's about the presidency, then it's about the presidency' remark! If he is watching, he is hearing it for the first time right now. There is a deathly silence over Fenerbahçe. If we don't lift this, we cannot be successful anyway. Ali Koç failed at the Fenerbahçe presidency."
