Ok, I'm gonna play the Devil's Advocate and ask you for your opinions on this matter.
While we have a World class coach like Fatih Terim, who has the ability to turn average players into stars; should Gala cut their losses now and sell players like Hasan Sas, Ergun, Umit Karan (built a reputation in the CL), etc. Since some of them have performed well enough in the WC to make a name for themselves, we could get big fees. This would save us the problem of losing them on frees (aka Hakan.S, Emre, Okan, etc). It would help clear a lot of our debts and give us a chance to start afresh.
of course we all love players like Hasan; but don't we all love Gala more? Wouldn't this give our club the opportunity to start rebuilding with a better financial situation?
IMO no stars are irresplacable; we have some good youngsters coming in too.
Or will we risk losing them for nothing and remaining in the same financial predicament for yet more seasons?
I say take advantage of the WC and sell them. And even if it means not being champions next season, it may mean Champions League champions in the future.
Of course, I would only do this with a man like Terim at the head of the team.
