The Türkgücü project failed, the 11-point deduction should be the nail in the coffin for Hasan Kivran's ex-toy.

Not the first final whistle for the club.

Turk Gucu, Turkish SV, Turkgucu Atasport.

The history of the name of Türkgücü Munich shows that the association, founded by migrants in 1975, has reinvented itself several times.

Or rather: had to reinvent.

Different leagues, changing saviors - with one constant: The dependence on the whims of its financiers has ensured that every attempt to establish the Bavarian-Turkish project as a reliable force on the football map had to fail.

Depending on the whims of the financiers - a failure with announcement

The Hasan Kivran era, which started powerfully in the national league in 2016, will also be classified as a disgrace in the eventful club annals.

Eleven points deducted for violations of the license requirements are not only the final nail in the coffin for the toy dropped by Kivran, they are also to be seen as a statement from the DFB.

Especially in times of Corona, arguments could have been found to punish Perlach's financial behavior more leniently (see FCK), but the association judges were obviously keen to send out an urgent message.

It's: be messy, be dazzling, but never compromise the show itself.

As is well known, it is the nightmare scenario of every association that one of the clubs involved cannot finish a season.

Like on the soccer field: Anyone who violates the basic rules is no longer allowed to play

In other words: In a one-man show à la Türkgücü, not only do the players live in the dark, the game management also doesn't know whether and how things will continue next month.

An absolute one from the DFB point of view

No-go, because in the end it's like on the soccer field: Anyone who violates the few basic rules is no longer allowed to play.
