The danger that everyone feared, and which Koç himself had feared weeks ago, was thus averted: the possible exit of Fenerbahçe from Turkey’s top flight and the transfer in another league. But yet another episode of violence in Turkish football will still have its consequences.

Non-withdrawal – “There is no more place for us in the Turkish league. We are called to make a decision, if necessary we will be relegated.

However, the moves may not end there. In front of his audience, Koç reiterated his support for his players involved in the melee with the Trabzonspor fans: “If anyone receives a disqualification, even for just one match, we will start the fight protest via email biggest one has ever seen.” Faced with the fresh suspension of a day for Jayden Oosterwolde e İrfan Can Eğribayat then, the management could move to defend the disqualified. The decision not to withdraw, however, also remains suspended and it was only postponed, as underlined by the club president: “The decision to withdraw from the League was put aside until next general meeting, in three months. It has been said that we should choose the formula that conveys the stronger message and causes the least damage, try them once again injustices that we have undergone by establishing good relationships so as not to be held responsible in possible clashes that may occur in the future. Once we get out of here, that’s when our work will really begin. The true lotta starts today.”
