Squad15 Feb 2027

A one-man rearguard from Batuhan Şen

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match13 Feb 2027

The wait goes on for Fatih Karagumruk

9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market15 Feb 2027

Fatih Kuruçuk puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Fatih Karagumruk, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Berkay Özcan pops up at the right end — 7.64

7.64, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Fatih Karagumruk

Manolis Siopis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Daniel Johnson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match13 Feb 2027

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 91 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Fatih Karagumruk had all but put away. Kocaelispor will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Moussa Kone stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Moussa Kone and Fatih Karagumruk agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match13 Feb 2027

Berkay Özcan rescues a point for Fatih Karagumruk

It needed Berkay Özcan to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Kocaelispor, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Match23 Jan 2027

A hiding for Fatih Karagumruk

Beaten 0‑3 by Basaksehir, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match23 Jan 2027

No end in sight to Fatih Karagumruk's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Fatih Karagumruk has to find a result from somewhere.

Market25 Jan 2027

Imishli come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Fatih Karagumruk did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Fatih Karagumruk

Ozan Kabak and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Shavy Babicka was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Fatih Karagumruk rebuffed over Matvii Ponomarenko

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Dynamo Kyiv have kept their man, and Fatih Karagumruk go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Batuhan Şen

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom25 Jan 2027

Inquest at Fatih Karagumruk

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Murat Erkin left the room before anybody could ask which.

Market18 Jan 2027

Anıl Yiğit Çınar has said yes to Genclerbirligi

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Fatih Karagumruk have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match16 Jan 2027

5 matches without a win for Fatih Karagumruk

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Fatih Karagumruk are no longer polite ones.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Moussa Kone keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Fatih Karagumruk may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Kasimpasa tell Fatih Karagumruk: Kubilay Kanatsızkuş is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match16 Jan 2027

A bad afternoon for Fatih Karagumruk against Kasimpasa

0‑1 to Kasimpasa, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Juninho

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Juninho, and the manager let it.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words at Fatih Karagumruk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tiago Çukur is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Murat Erkin to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Batuhan Şen knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Fatih Karagumruk, and both men came out saying it was fine.
