Hami Mandıralı, the legendary goalscorer of the burgundy-blues, used harsh words regarding the transfer process of Abdülkadir Ömür to Hull City. Speaking on the Karadeniz Fırtınası YouTube channel, Mandıralı criticized Ömür.
"I WAS ASTONISHED"
Stating that he heard reports that Abdülkadir Ömür told Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan, "I won't go to that team, and I won't wear this jersey again," Hami Mandıralı said the following:
"The jersey he says he won't wear is the burgundy-blue Trabzonspor jersey. I don't understand where they find this power. How can the native sons of Trabzon, who play for a team like Trabzonspor and wear the Trabzonspor jersey, say such things? I couldn't say it, my friends couldn't say it. Where do they find the power to say these things? I was astonished and very saddened. You must not forget where you came from. You now come to the facilities you used to reach by minibus in the most luxurious cars. You didn't buy this with money you found walking on the street. You earned this money and bought this car because you played for Trabzonspor. That is why you live in the best house and wear the best clothes. You must not forget this. You should forget the person who forgets this."
"SON, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"
Stating that he suffered a lot to wear the Trabzonspor jersey during his playing days, Hami Mandıralı said, "For this team, for this jersey, I was put under anesthesia 11 times and underwent surgery. It is not that easy. I paid the price to wear that jersey. I am in love with that jersey because Trabzonspor gave me an identity, gave me the joy of living, and peace. I live with that identity. I live as Hami, the Trabzonspor player, and I am respected. Why? Because I served that glorious jersey. The essential thing is always Trabzonspor. Our young brothers should not forget this. There is no player who cannot be replaced. I scored over 300 goals, I received a lot of insults and abuse. But I never turned my back on my fans or my community. I fought, I struggled. Just because they shouted at you for one match, you say 'I will never wear this jersey again.' Son, who do you think you are? Do not forget where you came from. Do not be ungrateful. Trabzonspor is a very big brand, do not forget this," he said.
