Barry Douglas, who currently plays for St Johnstone in his native Scotland and played for Konyaspor in the Super League between 2016-2017, spoke about his career in Turkey in a podcast broadcast in Scotland.
GALATASARAY MATCH CONFESSION
Douglas, who made remarkable remarks about the way clubs are managed in Turkey, also made a bonus confession about the Galatasaray match.
The highlights of the 35-year-old football player’s statements are as follows:
“Managers panic if the club goes down to the lower ranks and can act crazy about handing out bonuses. We won the Turkish Cup that season. For the first time in the club’s history. It was crazy.”
“I ALWAYS LIVED WITH BONUSES”
“I don’t know where the money came from, but I was happy. I didn’t touch my salary for 6 months after I signed, I always lived off bonuses. “They were pumping up the President, shouting ‘Great President’, and the President was getting pumped up and saying the match bonus was 40 thousand.”
“WE DRAW WITH GALATASARAY, THEY DISTRIBUTED A BONUS”
“In the first season of Konyaspor, we had a draw with Galatasaray. The president came and distributed bonuses as if we had won.”
Douglas, who was transferred to Konyaspor from the Polish team Lech Poznan during the 2015-16 season, moved to the English team Wolverhampton at the end of the season after his successful performance in the Super League.
The 35-year-old Scottish football player won the Turkish Cup championship with Konyaspor at that time.
