A group chat leaked in June 2025 revealed that members of the Turkish disciplinary board were mocking Fenerbahçe and manager Jose Mourinho, sparking outrage and leading to the resignation of the entire committee. The messages, sent after Mourinho's exclusive interview about a reduced ban, included the board president writing, "We will make him pay for this next season". Fenerbahçe officially responded to the "hostile" and "revenge-based" mentality in the correspondence, calling for clean football and an end to such practices.
