A letter from Ahmet Çakar to Okan Buruk and the Galatasaray management: They are squandering your hard work

While the Galatasaray management is facing criticism that it has lost its influence during the transfer window, Okan Buruk is also being criticized for failing to achieve success in Europe.

Ahmet Çakar wrote a letter on his social media account and issued the following warnings:

AN OPEN LETTER TO OKAN BURUK AND THE GALATASARAY MANAGEMENT

Look Okan, my dear brother,

I have known and liked you for 30 years, ever since your playing days.

You have had a very successful three years at Galatasaray.

You didn't get here easily; you put in a lot of hard work.

But I see with regret that some people are squandering this hard work of yours in 'certain environments'.

Until a year ago, you were living a very decent, even what some would call a modest, orderly, and even religious life.

May God accept it.

For the last year, I have been following with regret and closely that men whose football careers are as long as your age have led you into environments you should not be in.

Let me name names: Fatih Süleyman Demircan, member of the Sportif A.Ş. Board of Directors.

And this process very clearly shows that it has disrupted the concentration of first you, and then the team, as per the imam-congregation relationship.

What business do you have in hotels and entertainment venues until the early hours of the morning, oh Okan Buruk?

What business do you have in places you shouldn't be at hours you shouldn't be there, let alone some venue, even at the neighborhood coffeehouse before big matches, oh Okan Buruk?

Let me ask even more clearly, my dear brother Okan, where were you on the night and nights before the 2-0 Fenerbahçe defeat?

Why do Dursun Özbek and his dear management, who know all these situations closely, remain silent in the face of these events?

If Mr. Dursun Aydın Özbek, who knows the Galatasaray community and its reflexes best, does not put a stop to this trend and intervene, the intervention of Galatasaray's reflexes will be inevitable.

The complacency of being champions for 3 years can lead to very painful results.

Galatasaray does not accept imbalance, it does not manage balance...

Take it from me...
