Yüksel Yıldırım Evaluates the Nightmare at Samsunspor

Samsunspor, who have not gotten the start they wanted in the Trendyol Süper Lig, have left their last 8 matches without a point. The Black Sea club, sitting on 4 points after 10 weeks, have slipped into the relegation zone. Club President Yüksel Yıldırım addressed the fans in a lengthy statement published on his social media account.

Yıldırım said that the club is not where they want to be today and that the results have deeply wounded the club. Saying that he knows the fans are heartbroken, the president stated that he does not want anyone to lose hope or surrender to pessimism.

Noting that they have prepared the recipe for getting out of the crisis, Yıldırım said that they fully accept responsibility. Stressing that neither the management, the technical staff nor the players have run away from this situation, the president guaranteed that the squad will be strengthened from top to bottom during the mid-season transfer window. Saying that they are custodians of the club rather than its owners, Yıldırım said this is not a day for searching for culprits but a day for standing up together. He added that they will make rational and cool-headed decisions rather than emotional ones.

Yıldırım reminded that he took over the club not to relegate it to a lower league but to take it into European competitions, and that he has made all investments without hesitation. The president, who stated that Samsunspor will remain in this league, said: “Samsunspor will not go down, Samsunspor will not give up, Samsunspor will rise again!”
