Ergin Ataman: 'Financial problems for Galatasaray? No way'

Ergin Ataman, coach of Galatasaray, denied to Eurosport Turkey that the Turkish powerhouse is in crisis.

"big crisis in galatasaray? No way. the only problem is cash flow, apart from that.. nothing. if Galatasaray is in the financial crisis how the team paid 400k to Cantu for Manuchar Markoishvili?"

"Panathinaikos, Olympiakos and in Turkey, Fenerbahce and Besiktas had that financial problems before. we had 12 million dollar budget. players know one day they'll get paid. no one's money remain in galatasaray's safe"

"Galatasaray has one of the biggest budget on the europe. Mybe in top 10. Yhe boardroom is paying players' money now but that payment is kind of "deffered payment".

"If Macvan and Ndong's agents make their moves in that margin, they have their rights"
