They should have been thankful to survive at top level in the last season as they did not meet the expectations in general. If they did not use their home advantage in some fixtures, they could find themselves in the 1st league. Ahead of the new season, they are facing some management problems. As known, they were not allowed to add any player because of their transfer ban in the last season. New management promised to coach Emre Belozoglu to solve it this summer. They were so confident to do it. That is why they have come to agreement with some players but it was too late to solve it. It is obvious that there are still some financial problems. They had difficulty even paying for the summer camp, let alone adding new players. This situation make coach Belozoglu think about brooding about the future. Moreover, one of executives had a meeting with another coach candidate. It also annoyed the coach. He already saw the departures of Thalisson, Djenepo, Emrecan, Gaich, Uzun and Samudio. More departures could come soon. Some clubs have interests on Kaluzinski. No mention to say that their squad got weakened comparing to the last season and they sill struggle a lot in early fixtures unless the coach makes a magic.

Target


They look like one of the relegation candidates at the moment. If they manage to survive, it could be one of the biggest successes in their club history.
