Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
I consider myself extremely blessed to be the president of a football club which has just won double Turkish titles in a single season. Inspired by your unwavering support, we’ve spared no effort and finally made all our dreams come true in the end. Now, its time to celebrate; go ahead and enjoy the Fortis Turkish Cup and Turkcell League Championship to the fullest extent! You definitely deserve it…
I’m sure you’ll remember what we’ve been through to come this far. As a determined Beşiktaş fan and your President, who had never lost faith in going all the way, I regularly shared my thoughts with you in our monthly club magazine even after the most painful losses. Nevertheless, despite of all that difficult times, we’ve managed to stand together and succeeded in winning everything in our path. Now, I would like to take some of your time to express my gratitude to those who played a vital role in our successes. My thanks go to:
-Our Board Members, who backed me up in most difficult decisions and supported me all the way,
- My friends, who motivated and encouraged me with their guidance and thoughts,
- The Great Beşiktaş Community, which not only set good example to other contenders but helped us to overcome numerous obstacles lying in our path by acting in complete unity and togetherness,
-Our Technical Director, who had never lost confidence in our team even after the heartbreaking losses and showed a kind of willingness to finish first that has gained the admiration of all Turkish football lovers and his staff,
- Our Players, who fought until the final whistle and displayed a true team sprit on the pitch that made all these possible,
-Our self-sacrificing Club Personnel, who worked day and night to speed up the process,
-Our internationally acclaimed, one of a kind, and passionate fans who never left their beloved team alone all season long.
We know this is not the end but just beginning. We are well aware of the challenges ahead of us and getting ready to face them. If we want to be more successful in Europe and retain our titles, we must work harder next season.
We dedicate these well-earned titles to all Beşiktaş lovers.
