Trabzonspor's fans have angrily attacked the club's management claiming that the sacking of former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel made them lose the 2019/20 League title.
Before football and other sporting activities were suspended in Turkey and many parts of the world, Trabzonspor were topping the League table.
However, Mikel called for the League to be stopped because of the spread of the coronavirus in Turkey and his contract was terminated by Trabzonspor.
The club wanted the Chelsea star to keep playing football which he refused and had to leave the side.
Before Mikel left, the side only lost two out of the 19 games the Nigerian star played, as he was superb for the Turkish side.
Trabzonspor went ahead to lose the Turkish League title to Istanbul Basaksehir and the fans blamed the management of the club for the way they handled Mikel's issue.
They are of the opinion that the club should have settled with Mikel rather than terminating his contract.
