What happened in Turkish football today? 18/05/2022



Besiktas would focus into young players this summer.

Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi has announced during  almost 2-hour press conference that team would be focussed to make team with mainly young and budget players who does have strong potential.

As all of the clubs around Turkey, Besiktas are also going through difficult financial situations and one of the best ways how to solve this issue for football clubs is to focus into potential young players both in its own academy and other clubs. This does look to be main focus for them during upcoming summer transfer window as it would be focussed to transfer young players with reasonable budget. Stating that Ahmet Nur Cebi has added that there would be also 3-4 experienced players, especially focussing into attacking position so side would be able to keep competitive and also be great example for younger players.

Therefore, it would be expected for Besiktas to be focussing to transfer young players and provide attention to academy this summer.

Fuat Cipe has announced his candidacy as Besiktas CEO. 

Fuat Cipe has announced officially his candidacy as Besiktas CEO position for election to be taking place on 28th May.

Fuat Cipe with such announcement has become 2nd candidate for position and possibly to be staying so and even through does have some plans for the side is being underdog as it is expected for most people to vote for current CEO. Still, Besiktas does have some issues as club right now and it would be interesting to see if he would be able to provide some strong and reasonable solutions for those.

Therefore, it would be interesting to see what plans does Fuat Cipe as CEO if he would be elected in upcoming days.

Referee issue is systematic and not of names at TFF.

During press conference, Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi has stated that main issue of Turkish football is being referees and called for whole TFF and its all connected organisations to resign this summer.

Performance of the referees has been discussed and critisiced during whole season and its been more or less admitted that issue is being into system and not into personality so calling for whole resignation doesnt look to be smart solution as new names would continue making same solutions. It is possible that Ahmet Nur Cebi has made such statements in emotions, as Trabzonspor and Besiktas hasnt been repeated due of rule mistake. Stating that, referee performance during this season has been poor and been dominated some part with crises of leaving 13 referees and after returning them. So some revision needs to be done in that front, but focus should be on system not names.

It is likely that TFF would be working on referee issue during this summer trying to identify issues and find solutions.
