Cenk Ergün, who was the professional responsible for the transfer in the previous term of Dursun Özbek in Galatasaray, was brought to work with the same task in the new term. However, things did not turn out as Cenk Ergün had hoped… Erden Timur, the Deputy Chairman of Sportif AŞ, who took office under the management of Dursun Özbek, took all the authority in the transfer and officially liquidated Ergün.
While the transfer operations in Galatasaray continued at full speed, it was remarkable that Cenk Ergün did not take part in any stage of this process. The fact that Ergün, who played the leading role in the transfer of star players and the establishment of the champion squad in the previous period of Dursun Özbek, did not appear in the middle of the day, attracted everyone’s attention. So much so that Cenk Ergün had joined this team with the persuasion of President Dursun Özbek, while the rival candidate Eşref Hamamcıoğlu had promised. And the purpose of the young manager’s arrival was to detonate bombs as the sole authority in the transfer, as in the past. However, the account at home did not fit the market.
CENK ERGUN OUT, ERDEN TIMUR IN
Erden Timur, who changed the fate of the election by entering Dursun Özbek’s list in Galatasaray, asked for authority in football apart from basketball, sponsorships, infrastructure, lands and island, and started to work as the vice president of Sportif AŞ. However, no one expected successful businessman Erden Timur to be the sole authority in the transfer. As soon as Timur arrived, he took the transfer process, which was planned to be carried out by Cenk Ergün, and almost liquidated Cenk Ergün. Even at that time, there were news about Cenk Ergün that he was resigning and that he was going to leave, and Ergün denied these reports by speaking to the press in the Austrian camp. In addition, Cenk Ergün confirmed the issue regarding the transfer process and revealed the facts by saying, “I am not that much into the transfer. This is a distribution of duties. I am with the team.” However, the statements made by Erden Timur yesterday revealed that Ergün was handed over from all aspects of the transfer from A to Z.
TİMUR: “ONLY I MANAGE THE MEETINGS”
Erden Timur appeared before the press yesterday and made statements about the transfer process. Timur, between the lines of his words, gave the message that Cenk Ergün was liquidated from the transfer department. The successful manager, who said that he was the only official in the interviews, said that he never involved other professionals and that with his sincere approach, he brought the star players to the team with the most appropriate budget. So much so that although Cenk Ergün formed a champion squad, he always drew the reaction of the fans with the testimonial and salary budget he spent.
Here are Erden Timur’s statements targeting Cenk Ergün:
“We are meeting with 5-6 different players at the same time. I conduct all these negotiations. Because even the slightest strategic mistake will set you back. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I don’t make mistakes. Others make mistakes. Don’t get me wrong. Things can get mixed up. People in front of us are much smarter than us. They can make sense out of even the slightest word. After the election, I had a completely different life. I don’t sleep before 4 am, I don’t get up after 11 am. But I am very happy with this situation. Also, the persuasion of the player is very important. Information Data etc. are very valuable, but sincerity is more valuable. The most important thing is sincerity. Our goal is to become the champion again in Europe. I believe in this until the end. This is the reason why I carried out this transfer process alone, I need to convey that sincerity. We finished last season in 13th place and “We’re not in Europe. It’s hard for players to persuade, so I manage the whole process by myself.”
