'Rigged' VAR, a referee who 'said they wouldn't be allowed to win the league' and beIN Sports 'deliberately going against them': Inside Fenerbahce's incredible row with the authorities and TV broadcasters that threatens to derail the Turkish football seas

Turkish giants Fenerbahce have called for an investigation after accusing footballing authorities of rigging VAR against them and referees of forming a pact to prevent their success.

In an extraordinary set of allegations following their 2-1 defeat at home to bottom side Genclerbirligi on Sunday, two supremos at the 19-time Turkish champions have called for a VAR operator to be sanctioned and said that they have learned of an agreement between referees to thwart the club from winning the title.

The explosive claims are the latest twist in a season in which Fenerbahce have been embroiled in a legal row with beIN Sports that could threaten the reported $360million (£259million) deal paid by the broadcaster to show Turkish top-flight matches.
