Hakan Safi met with congress members at the event held in a hotel in Ankara. In his speech here, Safi invited congress members to vote at the general assembly to be held over the weekend and said, “I am sure that we will experience a feast of democracy on Saturday and Sunday.
This is what suits Turkey’s biggest club.” he said. “When I applied for this position, I did not set any limits for myself, nor did I wait for a sign from anywhere.” Safi said: “I said, ‘I am ready to serve Fenerbahçe,’ without caring who would be the candidate. I am glad I said it. During the campaign, I came together with valuable Fenerbahçe fans from 7 to 70. They are all troubled, we share the same troubles with you.
You will see, starting from Sunday evening, we will be the cure for every problem of Fenerbahçe fans. We all long for the championship. I am also troubled, I know. ‘That’s it.’ ‘That’s enough,’ our fans say, and they’re right. That’s enough. “We will never allow the championship longing to extend to 13 years.” Hakan Safi emphasized that their priority would be to improve the quality of the staff and said, “I promised this as well.
As of today, we are clearing up the question marks on everyone’s mind. What did I say? “Our stars will come on Wednesday,” I said. he said. Safi, who announced that they would add Colombian striker Luis Suarez, who plays for Sporting Lisbon, to their squad if they are selected, said: “I talked with Luis Suarez every day. Unbelievable, he is 28 years old. You know the goals, assists and minutes he scored. I was very excited.
He promised me, “I will be the top scorer of the Turkish league.” While I was giving him a bonus in addition to his salary, I wanted to start from 15 goals, but he wanted us to start from 20. I put other money into the 20th, 25th, 30th, hat-tricks, derbies and the Turkish Cup. I also bet twice as much money on the Turkish league championship. That’s enough, a good match is won with a good player. I said, “We need a world star.” They made fun of me.
‘There is no limit,’ they said. “There is a limit, this is the limit, friends.” – “Don’t think it’s over, we’re just getting started.” Stating that they transferred Kerem Aktürkoğlu when it was said that there was “no limit”, Hakan Safi said, “There was no limit then, friends. We made a contract in accordance with the Turkish legal system and the UEFA system, under the name of the image rights contract, and brought our player to the Turkish league.
Our opponent said, ‘I have not one Hakan Safi, but five Hakan Safi.’ Here you go brother, you say ‘there is no limit’, let a brave man come along and give it as a gift, then I will bring another one, I promise. We said, ‘We will bring the stars.’ We will make you watch them under the Fenerbahçe jersey. For us, words come out of our mouth only once. Don’t think it’s over, dear Fenerbahçe fans, we’re just getting started.
“We will have more surprises.” he said. Safi stated that they will be champions next season and then immediately start the stadium project and said, “We will increase our stadium to a capacity of 64 thousand 500 people in its birthplace, in the priest’s meadow. “I repeat, we will expand our stadium in its own place.” he said. Stating that he receives many questions about financial matters, Hakan Safi said: “We manage our companies with very good financiers.
I want you to know that we will not manage Fenerbahçe ‘like managing a grocery store’ as our valuable rival admitted. Be sure of this. In line with the vision we drew, our friends on the board of directors worked on every point down to the smallest detail. We will not allow anyone to scare you with unfounded claims and unfounded arguments. We will take office with your trust and make Fenerbahçe a champion. The day we leave, we will not let anyone say behind our back, ‘The club went bankrupt, all the income was in assignment, not even a sponsor can be found.’ Our Fenerbahçe needs to get rid of the influence of individuals.
Fenerbahçe does not owe anyone a penny, on the contrary, we owe service to Fenerbahçe. We need to make Fenerbahçe financially independent from individuals. We also have projects for this. We also plan to create an important financial resource for our club with the Fenerbahçe GYO project. Some of Fenerbahçe’s companies need to go public, and we are working on that. Fenerbahçe does not have a resource problem, because we are here.
“We will establish such a financial structure in Fenerbahçe that we will save our club from the influence of individuals in the future.” – He criticized Aziz Yıldırım. Hakan Safi expressed his discomfort with the adjectives directed at him and said, “Dear Fenerbahçe fans, I have approached issues of love and respect very sensitively throughout my life. I express my beloved President Aziz Yıldırım’s contributions to Fenerbahçe every time and everywhere.
I say may God bless whoever laid a brick for Fenerbahçe. But up to this point, we were told ‘liar’ and ‘can’t do it’ and remained silent. Disinformation was spread from purposeful accounts, and we remained silent again. However, everything has a limit. We were told ‘street child’, our attitude changed. I think we were thought to have accepted it because we were silent. Therefore, it is my biggest responsibility to remind you, Fenerbahçe fans, of some things.” he said.
Safi, who criticized presidential candidate Aziz Yıldırım, completed his speech as follows: “Mr. Aziz Yıldırım, what did you say on May 20? You said, “I’m coming for a year.” On May 25, you translated it as “I’m just saying that.” On June 8, 2024, he said: ‘It’s over for me. You said, ‘I no longer have the chance to come to Fenerbahçe and become anything.’ Two years later, you were nominated again. In the 120-year glorious history of this community, the respect shown to my dear president has never been shown to anyone.
But we did not receive anything in return, let us know that, dear friends. People around you constantly say, ‘Fenerbahçe has been penalized because of the Kerem Aktürkoğlu transfer.’ Our club has not received the slightest penalty for irregularities regarding Kerem. The penalty in question is related to exceeding the limit. “The mentality that said ‘Reject articles 11, 12 and 13’ last September is responsible for this.”
