After hours of undertaking copious amounts of research (twitter, YouTube and Google translate) I have deduced the following:
He's an unlikeable disciplinarian that doesn't have the record or tactical nous to back it up. Gone by Christmas.
I even saw one comment calling him the Turkish Steve Morison.
Think I've finally figured out why we appointed Erol!
He has valuable experience with the Court of Arbitration for Sport: https://jurisprudence.tas-cas.org/Sh...uments/640.pdf
I can see our current squad thinking oh great! I can’t see him being somebody who unites the club ( anybody know if he speaks English?) . The Turkish experiment didn’t go well at Hull - and they spent quite some money whereas he will have zero budget. Ah well , let’s see - but have reservations that this was a cheap and convenient ( from the relationship with Dalman) appointment
It's the Dalman connection that concerns me......we shall find out soon enough, but not encouraged by what I read.
Dalman to Erol, “do us a good deal on your Airbnb in Turkey and I’ll get you a managers job”
Erol replies “deal”

So.
1. Mate of Dalman
2. Dour, defensive football.
3. Doesn't trust young players.
I don't know anything about him, hadn't heard about him until yesterday, but the above is a summary of what can be gained from this forum and social media.
Whilst, it is difficult to judge until a run of games it isn't exactly an inspiring appointment. Nathan Jones is probably the most glaringly obvious candidate in the history of management vacancies, but we manage to come up with this.
He strikes me as being cheap and a pawn in the Dalman/Tan power struggle.
I hope I have to eat my words, but frankly Kenny Hibbert was a more inspiring signing.
In general, our message board contributors couldn’t get drunk in a brewery. Most of you are so pessimistic- you’ll likely live longer if you look on the bright side of life!
I spotted this on Wikipedia yesterday. Someone was quick to update his Current Team

It says quite a bit about you that you are prepared to believe the views from people on this board or social media. Also, how you can glean the fact that his teams play ‘dour, defensive football’ from the description that he plays ‘aggressive football’ and likes to box the opposition in their own half, is beyond me. It is the exact opposite of that, if true. Also, even you should be able to work out that if you inherit a squad of ageing players, the chances are that your teams average age is going to be on the high side whilst the squad is sorted out
