Speaking via Asist Analiz, the Turkish owner explained the stance being taken by his legal team, saying: "Under normal circumstances, two teams have reached the final and one has been disqualified. Our lawyers’ opinion is that we should go directly to the Premier League, but they’re examining it right now. We can’t say anything definitive. It’s a bit of a messy situation."
