What happened in Turkish football todat? 26/04/2023





Besiktas has requested for referee to be selected via AI.

Besıktas has requested from Central Referee Commıttee to appoint referee for Super League 31st week against Galatasaray through artificial intelligence as it has been case for rest of the season but there has been exception.

As it would be remembered, TFF for unannounced reason has appointed Halil Umut Meler as referee of Fenerbahce and Besiktas manually which did raise some question as AI has been programmed to be selecting best name via some critirias. Therefore, it would be right to appoint referee through AI system, and it needs to be mentioned that there is big expectation that even like this Halil Umut Meler would be selected as he is being best referee right now.

With referee to be expected to be announced on 26th April, there is big expectation for Halil Umut Meler to be selected as he was referee for all other derby games so far during this season.  

Maybe an issue is with Ali Koc and not Jorge Jesus.

Once again Turkish sports community is throwing blame of poor recent results at Fenerbahce towards coach Jorge Jesus, once again throwing some kind of fear at criticising CEO Ali Koc.

Since Ali Koc has become CEO, Fenerbahce didnt win any tournaments, provided some poor performance at home ground especially at derby games and has been changed in high number of times its coaches. Therefore, this factor does provide question if issue is really with Ali Koc management or Jorge Jesus among other coaches. With so many coaches being appointed and sacked, it does raise questions if an issue is really with coaches since not all of them could be poor. In fact, if selected coaches are being unsuitable for Fenerbahce successes in those years, than even in this case fault would go to administration as they are one who is appointing coaches. Therefore, blame possibly should be send to right addresee.

This blog has opened this viewpoint for long time, in fact writing similar text in previous years and it does look like it would continue to do so as long as Ali Koc would be CEO.

Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Anthony Martial

Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Manchester United player Anthony Martial who is reported to be wanting to leave club but it is unclear if he would consider to move to Turkish club this summer.

It needs to be mentioned that even through Martial is not on same level as he was in few years ago, but very likely there would be lots of clubs from top league but mediocre sides who might show to still potential players including from England itself. Hence, Fenerbahce possibly would need to move in fast manner to convince player this summer but it doesnt look to be as simple. Hence, it does look that Fenerbahce negotiations if would take place would also depend if other clubs will show interests towards him.

We would as always follow all latest in this transfer rumour among others in our accounts.
