'Debt debate' between Yıldırım and Koç: 'If I don't take it, I'm a scoundrel'

Aziz Yıldırım and Ali Koç, who faced off on Habertürk, did not refrain from attacking each other throughout the live broadcast.

One of the notable moments in the program, where tensions rose from time to time, was the dialogue over the club's debts.

Here is what happened:

Aziz Yıldırım: How much did you agree on with the Banks Association? I guess you settled all your debts.

Ali Koç: It was around 347 million Euros.

Aziz Yıldırım: 330 million dollars, dollars, dollars. I spoke with the Banks Association.

Ali Koç: Why the Banks Association? Come ask us, talk to us, and we will give you the information.

Aziz Yıldırım: If I ask you, you keep writing 612.

Ali Koç: 612 is the liability. You don't understand the difference between them. I will ask you something. While our club is in such financial distress, why are you borrowing at high interest rates to buy land? We paid most of it. We paid all of their money.

Aziz Yıldırım: You didn't pay any of it. No, I paid it all. Who told you that?

Ali Koç: Erol Bey was explaining the debts while you were occupying the podium.

Aziz Yıldırım: We paid for all of them except one. He is always explaining it wrong, for God's sake. Look, there is a 330 million dollar debt to the Banks Association. That has dropped to 110 million dollars at today's value, due to the conversion to TL. There is a danger today; those interest rates you didn't convert have turned against you. Because there is 50 percent interest. Just so you know.

Ali Koç: Whose debt are we trying to pay?

Aziz Yıldırım: How much are the assets I left behind? More than 600 million dollars.

Ali Koç: Give us 300 and we will give it to you.

Aziz Yıldırım: Bring it, if I don't take it, I'm a scoundrel. Everything, including the arena. All the assets are here, read them. Bring it, I will take it.
