The 2007-08 campaign saw Bursaspor, the Yeşil Timsahlar, battle through a turbulent season marked by a mid-season managerial change from Bülent Korkmaz to Samet Aybaba, yet they ultimately secured a safe 13th-place finish in the Süper Lig. Leading the line with determined effort was the Cameroonian forward Hervé Tum, whose 6 crucial league goals provided the necessary attacking spark. It was a season built on grit and defensive solidity, marshaled by figures like captain Ömer Erdoğan and the commanding Egemen Korkmaz, and remains a foundational chapter that solidified their place in the top flight.
