Evet arkadaşlar son yapılan Sow transferinden sonra birşeyler yapmamız gerektiğini düşündüm. Hepimizin burnuna bu transferle alakalı kötü kokular geliyordur eminim. Bu yüzden bir arkadaşımız bu metni hazırlamış, yapmamız gereken uefanın mail adreslerine bu metni yollamak. Gereken ilgi gösterilir umarım.
Curious Case Of Fenerbahce transfers
To whom it may concern,
I am writing you regarding suspicious transfer activities of a Turkish club, Fenerbahce SK. It is time for authorities to take action against this blatant circumvention of FFP rules, and potential money-laundering.
Last year, Senegalese player Moussa Sow, who played for Fenerbahce SK for 3 seasons, scoring 52 goals in 102 matches, was sold to UAE team Al-Ahli. This transfer itself was quite suspicious: Despite the fact that player was 29 and on the last year of his contract, and with no apparent interest from any other team, Al-Ahli paid a whopping €16m for him, breaking the Turkish League transfer fee record. The timing of the transfer was also peculiar. After a summer of heavy transfer spending (notable signings included Robin van Persie, Simon Kjaer, Nani) without any significant transfer earnings, it was widely reported that Fenerbahce could be sanctioned under Financial Fair Play rules. Moussa Sow transfer came in the last minute out of nowhere, just a few days before the transfer window closed in Turkey (August 29th), helping Fener balancing the books to an extent.
What makes this case extraordinary is that Al Ahli, who won BAE league with the help of Sow (13 goals in 24 games), decided to loan him back to Fenerbahce this year. A player who was deemed to worth €16m only a year ago, who is still on form, had no significant injury since, no reports of being unsettled, one of the key players of Al Ahli, now returns to his old club for free. I believe you will agree that anyone who has a remote understanding of football can smell something fishy is going on here.
A similarly suspicious UAE – Fenerbahce connection can also be seen in Nigerian forward Emmanuel Emenike’s loan deal. Last year, Emenike joined UAE club Al Ain on loan on August 5th (a month before Sow) for an extraordinary fee of €3.5m where he played only for 6 months, returning to Fenerbahce in January 2016. A week later he joined Premier League club West Ham United, again for a 6 month period, who only paid €850k for the player’s services. The difference between the two fees speaks for itself.
I strongly believe both these deals are highly suspicious, and given that current Fenerbahce management has a history of unethical behaviour (most recently having their team banned from European competitions for three seasons for match-fixing) these transfers clearly need to be investigated. Settlement Agreement signed with Fenerbahce (on May 2016) states the club have failed to comply with requirements set out on UEFA FFP Regulations Article 53 to 68, however they managed to escape sanctions applied to many other teams only thanks to the aforementioned transfer activity. Unfair competition is one of the main reasons why Turkish public interest for football is waning, and 2011 match-fixing case of Fenerbahce already played a big part in this trend. I trust UEFA will take this matter just as seriously, and will not allow teams to use such inventive methods to bypass FFP rules.
Yours sincerely,
