GIRAY BULAK SACKED BY VESTEL MANISASPOR!



There is one thing, we know by now!...If you are a coach in the Turkcell Super League ,you never know when you will be kicked in the butt!...

Giray Bulak, the coach who saved Vestel Manisaspor last year from dropping to the lower division, after Ersun Yanal's bad run with Vestel Manisaspor,sacked by Vestel Manisaspor Yesterday.

But, in soccer, there is no yesterday!...

If you lose a couple games you will be canned!...

Giray Bulak is the first coach sacked in the second half of Turkcell Super League!

So far After 18Th week of matches played, he is the 11Th coach got his butt kicked!

What is so absurd is, the Vestel Manisaspor hired in same day Yilmaz Vural who has a Television program on LIG TV!..... it is called "Santraya Dogru"....

On that program, 12 hours before Giray Bulak was sacked, Vural talked to Giray Bulak about the upcoming match this weekend for Vestel Manisaspor!...


Twelve hours later, TV commentator Yilmaz Vural became the coach of Vestel Manisaspor!...Yilmaz Vural coached Antalyaspor who dropped out of the Turkcell Super League,last season.

As I said it before(Coaching merry-go-round Dilemma in the Turkish League ) , this would only happened in Turkiye....no place else!...

My stomach can't take what is going on in the Turkish Football(soccer) anymore!....

AHMET TURGUT

Antonio de Nigris did not like the offer!....


Mexican National player Antonio de Nigris ,who plays for Gaziantepspor in the Turkey's Turkcell Super League did not like the money that Ankarspor offered him.

Although two teams agreed on the transfer fee for one million dollar,Antonio de Nigris did not like the 500.000 Euro....he told Ankaraspor team officials that he wanted 700.000 Euro. So, Antonio de Nigris still remain with Gaziantepsor until end of his contract with the team.

TURKISH FIRST DIVISION CHANGES THE NAME!...


Bank Asya has become the name sponsor of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) first division league.

Dogan Yayın Holding, which owns the broadcasting and name rights of the first division league, and Bank Asya was signed at a meeting yesterday in İstanbul. Under the agreement, the TFF first division will be called the "Bank Asya 1st League" for the next year and a half. Bank Asya Vice General Manager Ayhan Keser, Doğan TV Yayın Group President Murat Saygı and TFF board member Cihangir Onger participated in the meeting. Keser said .

D Spor TV station, Doğan Yayın Holding's subsidiary, had acquired the broadcasting and name rights of League A last year. He said the goal of the company is to create a new brand and add value to it. Saygı noted that the name of the league had been changed to the TFF 1st Division at the beginning of this soccer season and that now Bank Asya has become the sponsor of the league. Saygı also emphasized that they are delighted to gain a new sponsor for sports events as these kinds of sponsorships had only been provided by a limited number of companies in Turkey.

TFF board member Cihangir Onger said that the main goals of the TFF are to spread soccer all across Turkey and to make the leagues reputable brands. He said they are pleased about the sponsorship of Bank Asya as this agreement serves their goals.
