“Financially, there is no light at the end of the tunnel at the moment. We need to periods to reach our objectives. Fenerbahce are currently on the right path. People don’t really know what we are facing. We saw how bad it was last season. It saddens me that people cannot comprehend how serious the situation is. I hope we will get through these bad days together,” the club’s president said.
The wealthy businessman also promised fans the club will be Super Lig champions in the upcoming season.
“We will be champions next season. Other teams will also compete but they will determine their ranking among themselves because we will be champions,” he promised the club’s fans.
