Trabzonspor fans say the sacking of Mikel Obi in March led to the team’s championship loss to Istanbul Başakşehir.

The team were top of the table before the Turkish Super Lig and sporting activities were suspended in Turkey due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.

Mikel was an integral part of the squad but his contract was terminated after he called for the suspension of the league due to the COVID-19 outbreak, stating that it was “unsafe” for football to continue during such crisis.

Trabzonspor lost only two of the 19 league matches Mikel was involved in.

In the wake of Başakşehir’s first Super Lig title win, fans took to Twitter to call out the team’s management for their poor handling of the issue, stating that Trabzonspor were a better team when the Nigerian was around and could have won the title.

“This is what happens when you bring politics to sports. We did not have enough staff depth. The substitute player could not perform the same performance. Especially the substitutes for Mikel, his departure weakened the team,” @ozylmza61 tweeted.

“Trabzonspor lost the championship due to the ego of the management. When the success came, the ego was swollen. They made two big mistakes. First was sending an experienced coach like Hikmet Karaman away, and the other was terminating Mikel’s contract,” Samet Özdemir, a Trabzonspor fan, tweeted.

“The management made the dream fly away because they could not hold on to Mikel. We won most of the matches he played in and he played very well,” İrfan Bayrak wrote on Twitter.

Good for them..

trapzonspor just fell from grace to grass after mikel left..
they are now 8 points behind istanbul due to thier bad form after the covid break, winning just one match out of thier past 6 matches..
but personally i think thier bad patch and loss of form was because of their loss of nwakeme due to injury after the covid break and also he had stopped scoring for them even after he returned..
me i get personal beef with this club because na them and arsenal tear my tickets pass this season..
betting sites always de kill me by giving them small odds and predict sites self go de bury me by predicting dm to always win..

they paid for their greed

Hmmmm, how many legs does Mikel use in playing?

lolx savage question...hahaha

Mikel Obi's sanity and the safety of his young family is more important than the club in question. The Board in particular and fans of Trabzonspor showed little or no respect to Mikel Obi by the way they handled every dealing that had to do with John Obi Mikel.
The incessant trolls and death threats from the fans of Trabzonspor towards Mikel and his family on social media is simply disgusting and the manner with which the club handled the issue was pathetic.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Lol na God catch una.. Abi no be that same nonsense Turkeish league where Mikel was booed by racist fans calling him a Monkey? And for the stupid club Management to have terminated his contract all because he was only trying to look out for everyone by demanding for the league suspended. I am sure if it were a white player that did what Mikel did, he wouldn't have gotten sacked unjustly like they did to Mikel..

And Las las, was the league plus other leagues across the world not eventually suspended when the virus started spreading like wildfire? Idiots! Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Mikel right now

If you're looking to get books(hard covers or soft copies) at a reduced price.

There are books on History, Politics, Novels, Self-improvement, Philosophy, Psychology, and also Christian Books.

I don't think Mikel departure is solely the reason for their poor form after he left although there is. Connection. They were scoring consistently but also conceding at high rate.

Posterity has judged

Yawn

Smart Mikel

Joking with covid 19 is stupidity at its best

Good

They would never appreciate you when you're always available

What if he was there and got injured during that period?

Never follow football fans opinion. Their favourite play is the one that is not playing. Chelsea fans were praying for rudiger to recover from injury because he was their best defender. Now that he is playing he has turn to their worst defender. They will cry for Giroud when Tammy Abraham is playing and cry for another striker when Giroud is playing. Like I said, their favourite player is the one not playing.

Their headache
