"WE WERE GOING TO COURT"
"We got to the Premier League, but psychologically I was very worn out. The opponent changed three days before the game. If they had given a forfeit for the Middlesbrough-Southampton match, I would have no objection, but they didn't. Spying doesn't mean the annulment of a match in football. Middlesbrough were defeated and eliminated. My opponent was also kicked out of the tournament. Logically, shouldn't I go straight into the league? They wanted to play that final. If we couldn't get out, we would have used our court rights."
"ALI CALLED A LOT"
"Normally I was going to be in a tie for the final match, that was the protocol, but it was 31-32 degrees on the day of the final. So they gave me flexibility. I didn't have to wear a jacket and tie. I said 'thank God' but the shirt was mandatory. Ali Koç called me after the match. I think his shirt from the election was blue. I said, 'I'm impressed with you,' and he said, 'It suits you very well, wear it more."

WILL HE MAKE A TRANSFER FROM THE SUPER LEAGUE?
"The average salaries of the big teams in the Super League have increased a lot in the last five years. Local footballers also earn well. May God give them more. And they deserve it. That's why it is not easy for us to make transfers from the Super League. After we were promoted to the Premier League, top managers not only from Fenerbahçe but also from Beşiktaş, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor called me to congratulate me. This was my dream. As we were united in the National Team, Hull City's success was seen as a Turkish team. The applause when I unfurled the Turkish flag in the stadium was very proud. It was an unforgettable day."
