Great sign. Fener is one of the most dislikeable teams for me. A big corrupt team, they can buy the turkish football federation but I think Uefa will not let them take part in CL oder EL.

Vali bekhoda Turk'ha kheily khoob yad gereftan az bashgahaye Europa. I'm sure that Iranian clubs would have det same potential if they just had a better infrastructure without any politcal and religious interference..

Uefa banned Fenerbahce for the next 3 seasons from playing n CL oder EL! Besiktas banned for only next season.
