Yes, yes, you ate a sweet and got a disqualification. What's going on in this Turkish soccer of yours anyway?

The situation was like that. At Akhisarspor there was an election for the club president. There were two candidates - Evren Ozbay and Mikhail Kaplan. The first had been at the club for a long time and was responsible for the horror that caused the club to drop to the third league (although it had recently played in the Super League).

Kaplan decided to get to know the players better. He arranged a meeting at the team base and brought baklava. Everyone helped themselves and was happy.

Then Ozbay won the election. He threw those who had baklava out. Now Akhisarspor is understaffed
They have all the problems.

Although they say that five of them wanted to leave - they were fed up with the mess going on in the club. A good excuse to set themselves up.
