When Jose Mourinho was presented as the new Fenerbahce coach, tens of thousands of fans filled the club stadium in Istanbul with songs and flares.
Fenerbahce themselves have not won a title in a decade and Mourinho is there to try to change that. But he is joining the club at a time of great unrest. At a time when, in the eyes of some fans, there is a pervasive conspiracy working against them.

We re-uploaded this because we accidentally uploaded a version without credits and backing music before!

This seems like the perfect situation for Jose . His us against the world tactics has never been more relevant than in fenerbahçe Very excited to see what he does in the champions league as well
-
Ok Mourinho moving to Turkey did not make me want to watch the Turkish league but after this video I am gonna watch the Turkish league next season. Who doesnt love a good conspiracy theory.
-
Exactly the atmosphere in which Mou will thrive. Chaos upon chaos, "us against them"
-
5:25 The players getting charged for fighting back against attacking opposition fans who invaded the pitch to do them harm is insane. Canât blame the club or its fans to feel hard done by the Turkish football association.
-
âTogether Jose, we will f*** Galatasarayâ I burst out laughing at that introâŠđ

5:20 Theres a huge amount of missing context on the team walking off the pitch. It wasn't their main team on the field; they had fielded their U19 team, and the plan was to walk off regardless of the score. This action was a protest against a controversial scheduling decision. The context behind the protest is that Galatasaray typically underperforms in preseason. For instance, they recently lost 5-0 to BeĆiktaĆ in the new Supercup. Despite Fenerbahçe being favorites, the Supercup match was unusually delayed to mid-season. The official reason given for the delay was fixture congestion due to teams participating in European qualifiers. However, after a second delay, the match was rescheduled between Fenerbahçe's two Europa Conference League quarter-final legs against Olympiakos. At this point, Galatasaray was already out of European competitions, giving them a significant rest advantage. Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe faced the risk of exhaustion and potentially compromising their European campaign. Fenerbahçe appealed to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) for another postponement, citing the same reason of fixture congestion used previously. However, the TFF refused to delay the match again, which seemed to give Galatasaray an unfair advantage. In protest, Fenerbahçe fielded their U19 team and walked off the pitch, effectively stating, "If you want Galatasaray to win this badly, we can simply not play and let them be awarded the cup."

As always, it's Mourinho against the world... Fenerbahce is the "right-est" platform
-
I will always love Jose as a Chelsea fan Hope he brings fenerbahce success and over come the corrupt system
-
the only misinformation here is the super cup final cancellation reason. The Saudis were ok with the national anthem, but not ok with Ataturk themed shirts and banners.
-
I do have my popcorn ready for this Turkish season.
-
When you need to dominate, you call Pep, when you need to save a club you call Mourinho
-
You forgot to include that Gulen himself openly supported Galatasaray
-
As a Fenerbahce supporter i wanna thank u for making video about my team and what we lived all those years. I hope this season we will break the chain.
-
Forza Jose! Started following Roma (and currently still do) because of Mourinho. Now Iâm hooked onto Fenerbahce for the same reason. The Special One has a charisma and passion that is rare.
-
Now now then what conspiracy was behind the re-upload
-
A great example of a conspiracy theory against Fenerbahçe happened in 2012 in championship match against Galatasaray in. Playing in home soil, Fenerbahçe needed to win but ended with 0-0 thus making Galatasaray the champion. After the match ended, nothing bad happened at first: Gala players celebrating and Fener fans either crying or applausing the players. But the police, which was mostly under GĂŒlen control, attacked the fans for no reason and many people in the stadium, including children, got teargased, causing huge events inside and outside of the stadium. And remember, this was happening one year after Aziz Yıldırım got arrested for match fixing allegations (who was still in prison at that time).

As BeĆiktaĆ fans, we say: We hate Fenerbahçe because we are BeĆiktaĆ fans, we hate Galatasaray because we are human.

FETO head Gulen himself said in an old video "Fenerbahçe is tough, they resist" admitting they couldn't infiltrate into Fenerbahçe. The politicians backed other clubs openly and even the referees admitted after retiring. And you will learn even more if you dig what the previous president of the Turkish Football Association did against Fenerbahçe The system is crooked and should be investigated by FIFA and UEFA. They should do it without any direct political influence from Turkey. If you want to understand if all these are true or not, simply look at the sales of all the clubs in the league. Only Fenerbahçe managed to sell players who will still be successful after leaving the Super Lig. Players sold by other teams aren't able to perform well outside of Turkey.

@5:46 Fenerbahce "23000 members voted to stay" : incorrect. I was there there was no voting held to stay or not. This is my opinion, if it was voted, result would have been to withdraw. Simple proof would be if people would have showed up for the assembly. That case there couldn't be any voting due to not enough numbers.
