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

Dylan Greco 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 The request is on a desk at Antalyaspor, and it is not being withdrawn.

Wages eat 139% of everything Antalyaspor earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
