. Without being able to play a single official game for the team, he got another offer from A. Sebatspor. He mutually terminated his contract with Elazığspor, given the promise by A. Sebatspor board of directors that they would compensate Elazığspor's financial loss. They never did. Angered by this move, Elazığspor set an astronomical fee for Erman, although his contract was ended. Until Bosman rule came into effect in Turkey, Erman was not able to sign with any professional football clubs who showed an interest for his skills. Feeling betrayed by both teams, he distanced himself from professional football that showed him its dark side. When he was eventually freed from his contract burden, he was already out of hopes and will for playing professional again.
