The decision has been forwarded to the Supreme Court of Appeals for review.[6][7][8][9][10][11] On 3 July 2012, Fenerbahçe football players all sported T-shirts with Fenerbahçe Chairman Aziz Yıldırım pictured on the front, along with a message he sent them from within prison, at their first pre-season training session on Tuesday. The players unfurled a banner that read “Fenerbahçe forever” and posed for members of the press while holding it.[12][13] On 4 July 2012, Egemen joined to team, on 9 July 2012 Issiar Dia transferred to the Qatars team Lekhwiya with the transfer fee €4 Milion.[14] On 16 July 2012, for the pre-season camp Fenerbahçe team was going to the Austria, here will be play 4 Friendly games.[15] On 20 July 2012, Fenerbahçe draw Vaslui on Champions League return in the Third qualifying round.[16][17][18] On 27 July 2012, Fenerbahçe was return to Istanbul.[19] On 1 August 2012, 2012–13 Season's first match Fenerbahçe salvage late draw against Vaslui on Champions League in Third qualifying round with score 1–1.[20] On 3 August 2012, Krasić declared transferred to the Fenerbahçe for 7M € and he will plays for 2.3M € per year for 4 years contract.[21] On 4 August 2012, Fenerbahçe signed contract with Joseph Yobo for 3 years.[22] On 8 August 2012, Fenerbahçe add first win in 2012–13 season in UEFA competitions against Vaslui on Champions League in Third qualifying round with score 4–1 and Fenerbahçe secured a place in the UEFA Champions League play-off round.[23][24][25] On 10 August 2012, Fenerbahçe draw Spartak Moscow on Champions League in the Play-off round.[17][18] On 12 August 2012 Fenerbahçe lose the Süper Kupa final against Galatasaray with score 3–2.[26] On 18 August 2012, in 2012–13 season's Süper Lig first match Fenerbahçe late a draw against Elazığspor with score 1–1.[18] On 21 August 2012, Fenerbahçe lose the play-off round's first match against Spartak Moscow with score 2–1 in UEFA Champions League.[17][18] On 24 August 2012 the Alex excluded completely from the Saturday roster by coach Aykut Kocaman.[27] On 27 August 2012, Fenerbahçe defeated southeastern side Gaziantepspor 3–0 in week two of the Süper Lig on Saturday night for its first domestic league of the season and also for its first win in four official matches. But Saturday's victory was eclipsed by the crisis between Brazilian captain and playmaker Alex and young coach Aykut Kocaman, which saw the Brazilian excluded completely from the Saturday roster. For the record: A fit Alex has always been included in the Fener starting XI since he joined the Istanbul club in 2004. Therefore without the slightest doubt there is something wrong somewhere. The match was played “behind closed doors,” meaning adult men were banned, while women and children were allowed in for free. And even the female Fener spectators took sides, asking, “Say Aykut Kocaman, where is Alex?” And this prompted Fenerbahçe Chairman Aziz Yıldırım to grab the stadium microphone during the match maybe something unprecedented in football history and say the following: “You are mistaken,” he said to the chanting fans. “Respect and support the players on the pitch. No one is greater than Fenerbahçe,” he asserted. Yıldırım further said after the match: “I can give my life for Fenerbahçe. No one is above Fenerbahçe, not even Aziz Yıldırım. Players go, Aziz Yıldırım will, everyone will go, but Fenerbahçe will remain,” he noted. He later said he has invited Alex for talks at on Monday.[28] On 29 August 2012, Fenerbahçe was eliminated by Spartak Moscow with aggregate score 3–2 and will enter the group stage of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League.[17] On 1 October 2012, Alex's contract was terminated. The crisis in Fenerbahçe hits its peak after a 2–0 loss to newcomers Kasımpaşa at Süper Lig. Fenerbahçe coach Aykut Kocaman has suspended captain Alex with immediate effect! The duo have been in beef with each other this season. Did Fenerbahçe chairman Aziz Yıldırım intervene ? Aykut Kocaman has responded to the downturn and Fenerbahçe captain Alex suspended with immediate effect! Turkish Vice champions and cup winners announced the suspension on the official club website. Accordingly Kocaman had announced its decision in the team meeting this morning. Reasons for the ousting of the captain were not initially called. What happens next with the 35-year-old Brazilian Alex, whose statue was erected 2 weeks ago, is not yet known. Souza wrote in his Twitter account; “I have ended my contract, it was the saddest signature of my life,” “Fenerbahçe has lost a player but it has won a supporter, thanks for everything.” Alex was standing just five goals shy of matching the Fenerbahçe record for league goals with 136 goals. The current record is held by former striker Aykut Kocaman.[29][30][31] On 29 October 2012, Antalyaspor ends Fenerbahçe’s 47-match unbeaten run in the Süper Lig at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Kadıköy had to come to an end some day with score 1–3. Fenerbahçe had not lost a single match at home in Kadıköy ever since they were beaten 2–3 by eventual champion Bursaspor in week 22, on 22 February 2010. Fenerbahçe won 38 and drew nine in the 47 matches they played within 980 days since 22 February 2010.[32] On 3 November 2012, Fenerbahçe peck Akhisar Belediyespor to break 181-day away jinx.[33]
