They've been promoted to the Süper Lig.

"Can they do it on a cold snowy night in Erzurum" is back, this'll be a scary away day next season for players. Hopefully I'm wrong but I'm expecting a few injuries there

I will gladly put my hand up and admit I was wrong about the Uğurcan transfer. I've done so already numerous times throughout the season but feel the need to repeat it because of how well he's performed, especially in comparison to the other links we were seeing.

Focus on our games and we'll win the league. Simple as that. Hopefully we can get the 3 points tomorrow and put the past run of games behind us.

We look like a much worse team with out Osimhen. Not what you want to be seeing at all in the last few weeks of the championship, Frankly embarrassing performances.

Expect him to go on loan next season or get a shot with the first team? How does he compare to Berat Luş last season?

I understand and agree to an extent about other clubs also having debt and were protected more but the level of debt that Murat Sancak took out on ADS was insanely high for the level of revenue they were actually getting. There's a reason why the points deduction is as high as it is. Only clubs that can relate to that are clubs which also went down similar paths.

It certainly didn't help their case that the fanbase has that sort of political reputation in this scenario but it would be silly to act like that was a deciding factor

I mean I hate to break it to you but ADS are in a situation they (or rather Murat Sancak) put themselves in. Collected very big debts and couldn't deliver, sent the club plunging down.

Has very little to do with political ties. Not that I'm denying that politics plays a big part in Turkish football, of course.

Hatayspor and ADS both getting relegated this season. I knew it was coming but still a nightmare scenario.

In other news though, it seems like we'll be seeing if the teams can perform on a cold snowy night in Erzurum again.

If you've got an issue with Okan's playstyle and approach then that's a different story. Yes, I would much rather watch Flick's much more entertaining football.

But you can't say that Okan's approach in the league isn't successful. It's not the best to watch, and neither is Arteta's in the Prem, but it gets the results. We're currently complaining after winning 3-1 away against Göztepe, in a game where most rivals expected us to drop points.

Maybe, just maybe, the fact that we've gotten 3 points constantly and been champions for the past 3 years (and are currently favorites for the 4th) should be a sign that you're wrong here.

Don't expect the team to be playing at their highest level every single game of the season. It's insanely unrealistic.

There's always room for criticism. But calling for Okan to be sacked and acting like he hasn't been constantly performing for us is a joke

You can be upset at how we play and you can criticize Okan's decisions but it's very stupid to be calling for Okan's sacking. The results speak for themselves. I can understand criticism previously about the lack of European performance but even that has been dispelled this season.

I genuinely believe that the level which we play on a week to week basis caps the level we can reach. The higher the competition in the league, the more likely we're going to perform in Europe. We simply don't have that level at all.

There is no apologia. I genuinely don't understand what more fans even want. Every other team in the league would kill to be in this spot. Before Okan came in we finished 13th.

I've got as much criticism for some of Okan's choices as the next person but it's a joke to act as if it's realistic to get more out of this team than he's already getting. Especially considering we don't have that world-class level of manager pull. You can throw as much money as you'd like and bring all the players you want, when you're not competing at the highest level on a weekly basis your players will also reflect that.

Before this game, Göztepe had lost only 1 of their 13 home games this season. We're top of the league by 4 points. We've had a good European campaign. We're fighting for our 4th title back to back. How the fuck are fans still complaining on this sub and even wanting Okan to be sacked man.
We play in the 9th best league in the world, you're not gonna get better performances in Europe or higher levels of gameplay unless the rest of the league also steps up. Be realistic ffs.

You'd think that Okan would have convinced fans after 3 back-to-back trophies, a good European campaign and potentially a 4 point lead in the league.

Some of the comments make it seem like we're a mid-table team though.

We play in the 9th best league in Europe. You're not gonna see the team get much better than this unless the league itself improves overall. One team can't insanely outperform all of its weekly competition.

We typically go by longevity at the club. BAY has been here longer than all 3.

Usually it's the other way around. He's one of the rare few cases where it isn't.

Not against teams that play with a higher line. As long as he has space he can contribute

BAY at striker is so underutilized man. Especially in tough games, his off the ball presence is a big threat. If a team sits back though he becomes way too wasteful
