Turkish Super League Wrap : Derby match abandoned, Galatasaray sacked Fatih Terim



It was ugly and also shocking weekend  in the Turkish Super League....

Awful and ugly scenes in the Istanbul's derby match and then Galatasaray board of directors decision to show the door to Fatih Terim was shocking news  after the derby match on Monday!


Lately, there isn't a day in Turkish football without a chaos .....

Getting back to week five, matches,

Besiktas still remains in top of the Turkish Super League despite the abandoned match between Besiktas and Galatasaray in Ataturk stadium on Sunday...

Seeing fans running into the field was disgrace

Hundreds of fans running on to pitch with plastic picnic chair were awful scene to see !

Turkish football federation will decide the outcome of this match score later on this week...

In the week five, there were two team won their away matches ....

Trabzonspor and Kasimpasa ..

Trabzonspor beat Kayserispor on Monday night with only one goal

Kasimpas after losing at home against Fenerbahce last weekend beat Sivasspoe in Sivas 1-2 !

Fenerbahce won their fourth match back to back in the week five.....

They trashed Elazigspor at Kadikoy with four goals and Moussa Sow grabbed hat trick and Dirk Kuyt scored the other goal for Fenerbahce.

Third place team Rizespor beat Bursaspor at home and kept up the pressure at top !

There are three teams with 12 points....

Besiktas, Fenerbahce, Rizespor,,,,,,,,

Akhisar and Kasimpasa are with nine points  and next in the standings ....


Gazinatepspor  is still with only one point after five weeks in the Turkish Super League ...

Antalyaspor and Gaziantepspor are onlytwo teams has not won any matches yet in the league.


**********************************************



Fatih Terim Sacked !

Galatasaray board  decided to show the door to Fatih Terim....

Whether you like him or not, Terim's third spell was sucsess ...

I really don't think he was let go because of poor start this season in the league nor getting trashed against Real Madrid in Istanbul !

It was power clash between Galatasaray Chairman Unal Aysal and  Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim....

The Turkish media played  major role in this sour relationship too

Unal Aysal made a huge mistake here....

Instead of talking directly to Fatih Terim and his assistants, he talked to media ...

That was the big mistake by a man who wanted to bring professionalism to Galatasaray!

Knowing Fatih Terim since 1990's personally, I know  how Fatih Terim could be cocky  ...

But, last two years Terim has changed  a lot many ways.....

This marriage should not have ended like this.....

Both sides should have left their egos and communicate  little better !

When going was going good, Galatasaray shouldn't throw Fatih Terim under the bus like this ,,,,,

It would have been better if they did this end of last season after winning the Championship !

It would have been much better for Fatih Terim too ...

Terim's saying yes to coach Turkish National team could well be the reason but  when you look at this from Terim's window , maybe Terim knew something, that a lot of people didn't know....

And, that is why he said yes to coach Turkish National team !

What ever it is, the marriage between  Galatasaray and Fatih Terim is over ....

Terim's third spell ended at Galatasaray but  his third spell with Turkish National team might be extended to four years now !
