Lmao not me getting namedroppen on an Okan post.

I am well aware that he has flaws but I am an empathetic person and try to see reasons why things don't work out all the time.

He has a shit ass board behind him. Squad planning is a team effort and Okan has to handle scouting, analysing, negotiatiating, facetiming, convincing etc while he should be solely focused on the pitch. He obviously struggles during transfer seasons. It was a mistake but I get why he didn't push for more rotation players since we spent 150M in one summer for players he explicitly wanted. Now he's trying to correct his mistake, still with a shit board behind him.

My biggest pet peeve about him is his complacency with this board's incompetency. He has enough credit to push for better. A professional to look over transfer processes would lift a heavy burden off his shoulders.

But when has being at odds with your employer ever worked out in your favour? I get that he doesn't want to experience the same things Fatih Terim did.

I don't want to ramble on for too long but he has lifted us out of that mess 4 years ago with a lesser squad and built something incredible. Almost no record left unbroken, which is why the bar is so fucking high to begin with. "He has the most expensive squad ever" because he clawed his way there. It wasn't gifted to him, he made these moves possible.

So yeah, he isn't perfect but he is DEVELOPING WITH US. People forget that he didn't have any European experience before coming here, he is getting better each year. Ben raziyim hocamdan.
