What happened in Turkish football today? 21/12/2017


Galatasaray has appointed Fatih Terim for his 4th term at the team.

Galatasaray has announced that it has started talks with Fatih Terim regarding of his appointment as club head coach and he is expected to sign with club on 22nd December. The talks about him coming to the team has become into reality with so much push by media and fans.

There was in fact news stating that according to contract which would be signed with new appointed head coach, which is expected to be done prior to early CEO election at the team, there is right for changed CEO to terminate contract. This factor to some notice has been put to reduce chance of misunderstanding and conflict with new CEO might have with coach. It is reported that Fatih Terim did state that he doesnt want to work for instance with Unal Aysal who might be selected as new CEO in May, even through for now he is not running for that position. There are also talks that Fatih Terim could even run for CEO position even through by some this is seen unlikely as Fatih Terim.However, Fatih Terim has decided to carry on his connection with Galatasaray as head coach and seems to be happy about this decision as he has posted at Twitter asking users and Galatasaray: where did we stopped?

Fatih Terim has always been number one choice for this position since he was sacked from Turkish National Team and being most successful coach at the team, "The Imperator" looks to be back to his castle.

18 weeks of Super League promises to be with full of excitement with 6 teams being at title race.

With last week of 1st half getting started tomorrow between Antalyaspor and Alanyaspor tomorrow, there is big question which team would be entering as league leaders to festive season as there are 5 teams at the top who has  3 point difference with each other.

Basaksehirspor being leaders with 33 points following with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray with 32 points and Besiktas, Kayserispor and Goztepe with 30 points and Trabzonspor at 6th with 28 points it is clear that we are having a very good season with 6 teams fighting for league title in mid-season break at 18-team. Even through it does look that average point of top team would be reduced due of high amount of losses this raises a great excitement with one of the main reasons having high number of foreign players. It does look like unless one team would get great series of win like Galatasaray did in start of season than we would have a great fight untill last minute of this season and it promises to be very exciting league for last of 18 weeks.

It is hard to call who would be champions but with latest form it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor are showing great performance and with this continuation might even get into battle with each other.

Bursaspor are interested with Moussa Sow as long as transfer fee is not too high

Bursaspor CEO Ali Ay has stated at the statement to the media that their recieved direct transfer offer for Al Ahli player Moussa Sow and their would be interested with him if transfer offer wont be too expensive.

Ali Ay has stated that the team still has serious economical issues and hence its aims to spend least but effective transfer politics and would like to purchase Moussa Sow but as long as it would be able to fill their transfer budget. High number of teams in fact are aiming to keep their transfer window in very effective manner but in same time focus into low number of transfers without spending too much due of ongoing condition of debt the team is and also being careful with UEFA FFP regulations. However, this strong interest shown by Ali Ay towards Moussa Sow could mean he could join them.

With transfer window getting closer we would recieve more and more rumours and developments which our blog would of course follow.
