Hakan Safi Calls for Support for Aziz Başkan

Hakan Safi, one of Fenerbahçe's former presidential candidates, spoke about the club's current situation during a live broadcast. Reminding everyone that Fenerbahçe is a big club with a big community, Safi said that difficult periods had been experienced before.

Safi acknowledged that there would be criticism, but argued that people should stand by the president. He said that calls for resignation and bad chanting would benefit no one, and emphasized that there is an elected management and that everyone should rally around Aziz Başkan. Safi also added that the current situation is not acceptable.

Safi said he had spoken with the players and that their morale was low and they did not want to take the pitch. Saying that they needed support, he asked fans, sports writers and Fenerbahçe supporters to keep their criticism within reasonable limits.

Reminding that many matches still lay ahead, Safi asked for support for Fenerbahçe and Aziz Başkan until the end of the season. He asked that whatever accounts anyone has to settle be left until the season is over, and requested support for the elected management.
