By the way, TFF has declared a three-point deduction penalty due to financial inefficiencies on 20 September 2016.[14] However, on 27 September 2016 it was declared by then president Çalışkan that the debts were discharged.[15] Ali Tekin who followed Çalışkan as president had tried to open the transfer table but could not do so, because he couldn't find sources to close club's debts payable to previous coaches and players. After it was clear that transfer table could not be opened Tekin resigned. New management under Mahmut Karak was planning to open the table in Summer 2017.
