Ali Koç and Aziz Yıldırım's 'Mourinho' dialogue caused a stir! "It would be shameful if I told you about it"

At the Fenerbahçe Ordinary High Council Meeting, Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç came to the podium after former president Aziz Yıldırım's speech and responded to Yıldırım.

Tensions flared between Koç and Yıldırım at times during the meeting. Aziz Yıldırım, who was seated among the members during Koç's speech, also took the microphone and interjected into the conversation at some points.

Ali Koç, stating that Aziz Yıldırım will always remain the legendary president of the yellow-dark blue club, said, “Mr. President, unlike during your time, everything is managed more institutionally; everything is transparent and accountable. Before, there wasn't even any data; you didn't keep it. You're too far removed from these matters. You're talking based on what you've been told. I don't find myself in the mood to discuss these things. Everything is crystal clear. I'm telling you as someone who did everything for you, as a brother of yours. Fenerbahçe made me cry twice. Once, it was with joy when we won the championship. The second time, it was with sadness. During those dark days, all your belongings were in a box downstairs. I asked, "What's going on here?" They said, "I received an order from the president, and we're taking all your belongings out." When you left, we had a three-hour meeting. I explained what everyone was doing. We discussed the things I didn't mention when Şekip Bey was with us. When I saw those boxes, I said, "I wish our communication was the same as it was before," but as long as your idea of "I am Fenerbahçe itself," persists, we will always have problems. You will always remain our legendary president.” "No one can deny what you've done to Fenerbahçe. For your own health and Fenerbahçe's future, get out of this state of mind. You weren't like this. Regarding the lodge, let me tell you this: take my lodge if you want," he said.

Following Koç's statement, Aziz Yıldırım went to the podium and hugged Ali Koç.

Continuing his discussion on the lodge issue, Ali Koç said, “Let our council members know this. When the esteemed president stepped down in 2018, we repeatedly called his office asking, ‘Does our president want his lodge?’ Each time, we received a no. So, when he refused, we sold the lodges. We visited you. We talked. I listened to you. Backbiting, gossip. His son plays for this team, the association president is this one, bribing tickets, and I go out with Mourinho at night. He doesn't even drink. The people around you wouldn't be able to be part of the Fenerbahçe community without you. You asked why you went to the association you haven't been to for seven years. The man you called 'that despicable, terrified man' is sitting right next to you. You said that about the association president.”

MOURINHO DIALOGUE

When I said, "Hulusi Bey and Şekip Bey and I visited you. I listened to you. There was gossip and backbiting, like his son is a Galatasaray fan, the president of the association is like this, or bribery and season tickets are all part of it. I was reportedly spending nights with Mourinho. He doesn't even drink, he's the most boring person in the world outside of football, he only talks about football. I've given him a leg up; president, there are people around you trying to pump you up," he became angry.

In response to these words, Yıldırım said, "Look, it would be very rude if I told you what you said to me about Mourinho! Don't let me talk! Look, don't make me talk, let Şekip talk, let Hulusi talk." President Koç responded to Yıldırım by saying, "Say it. Say whatever you want."

'WE HAD TO ABSTAIN VOTING'

President Ali Koç, stating that he abstained from voting against acquitting Aziz Yıldırım, said, "You were not acquitted at the first general assembly, that's true. We abstained. The reason was some financial misdeeds you and your brother engaged in. We had to abstain."

Ali Koç asked Aziz Yıldırım, "I decide whether I will be a candidate. Why are you bothered by this?"

He continued, "The friend you came with from the boat held a press conference at a hotel during the July 3rd coup and called on both of us to resign. He unfairly called on all of us to resign while we were incarcerated. Can you imagine what would have happened if we had resigned at that time? You're walking with a man who says, 'The Gülen movement and the police did their job very well.' I won't continue with this," he concluded.
