Turkish Writer : Fenerbahce match fixing scandal is a coup attempt by Turkish government
Although there are otherix top-flight clubs allegedly involved in the match-fixing probe scandal, many Fenerbahçe supporters believe that the probe targets solely their club's presidency, and that a new chairman with closer relations to the conservative government AKP would be brought in after Aziz Yıldırım was toppled, as he also declared with a written statement, that he would resign as Fenerbahce president, regardless how the probe should end.
Prominent writer, documentarist and columnist Can Dündar wrote that the case was "a coup" attempt by the AKP government.
"This is definitely a coup, parallel to the political structure and there is more to come," he wrote only two weeks ago. "The government has the ball now."
Murat Ãœlker was suggested as a successor, however the current Ãœlker Group chairman is reportedly not interested in the presidency of Fenerbahce.
Ülker, the major Turkish producer of biscuits, chocolate and candies, is a main sponsor of Fenerbahçe. The company had one of the Turkey's leading basketball teams in Ülkerspor before it was merged with Fenerbahçe in 2006 and took the name Fenerbahçe Ülker. Ülker Group is getting bitter and is also known as a bastion for "green capital", a phrase used in describing islamic rooted business industry in Turkey.
