Besiktas chief set to axe stars after Anfield mauling

BESIKTAS could axe some of their players after the Turkish side’s record 8-0 Champions League defeat by Liverpool, club president Yildirim Demiroren said yesterday.

“We may have to part ways with some of our players. Besiktas’ interests come above everything else,” Demiroren said.

“We will have our board of directors meeting on Monday and we will act according to their decision,” he said.
