Besiktas is trying to keep hidden its decision to withhold players salaries to invest in other areas of their business. Two players have already left due to non-payment in Jovo Stanocevic and Mario Austin. Now a third player the most important piece Besiktas leader Mire Chatman (Higher Vision Sports) who is having a fantastic season is considering leaving as well.
"I really don't want to go. I like everybody here and especially our coach but they are leaving me and my agent no choice." Chatman and the other players have been waiting patiently for two months for payment with little to no communication from the team other than threats if they decide to not play for no pay. Several teams around europe are having financial difficulty and we have a reputation to work positively even during trying times but the issue needs communication. Besiktas is failing to communicate in a positive way so we will see what happens, said Craig McKenzie the player's agent.
