Football Season Guide

They are back to top level football in Turkey following 16-year absence. They clinched the title in the 1st division in the front of Genclerbirligi and Fatih Karagumruk but the fans carry some worries ahead of the new season. While they were close to guarantee their title, the board have been giving contradictory messages. Especially, the fans are afraid of witnessing new crisis, if the board do not take a step about the transparency and the relationships with the fans. Besides these, the financial discipline and the proper transfer policies also matter a lot as they were competing in the amateur level 9 years ago. They decided to part the company with coach Ismet Tasdemir and appointed Selcuk Inan as the head coach. He has worked in Kasimpasa and Gaziantep FK as the head coach and knows the league well. In his first speech, he talked about decreasing the difficulties as the newly promoted team. That is why they decided to keep the most of the last season’s squad in the team. Most important departure is Markao who has produced 9 goals & 5 assists. On the other hand, Ogulcan Caglayan who has been the most productive player of the team and Ryan Mendes stayed in the team. That is a good new for the offensive action. Along with Degirmenci, they had Jovanovic this summer. So, they seem good enough on the net. They brought low profile foreign players like Haidara, Cafumana and Agyei but their budget cannot afford more. New coach declared that they are still searching for new blood, especially in midfield and offence. If they can bring some useful players, they can hurt most of the team at their stadium in the front of fanatic fans.
