Bulut

Re: Bulut

I must say, I have to agree with Llan on this.
I am just as keen to see a bunch of home growns do well as the next man.

However, being out of contract in a matter of weeks, I wouldn't blame him if all he is thinking about is the highest league position he can possibly get.

He has a set of players playing a system that, although is not very popular to say the least, has managed to squeeze 56 points from 40 games.

To play a lot of untried kids, many of whom are probably not ready and will surely be out on loan next year could be the difference on someone taking a punt on him or not over here.

The decisions of them upstairs will determine what happens to us in future not the footsoldiers.

Re: Bulut

Today was a very pleasant surprise, but where was that attitude at Swansea and, even worse, having failed so badly in the derby, what was that on Friday?

Bulut can’t be as bad as me and others make him out to be, but ninety per cent of the last five months has been awful.

Re: Bulut

Wasn't it a 1 year with a further 2? Surely there would be triggers

Considering what Bulut's said, no

Was it? I thought it was a one-year contract, no more, no less. But to be honest I wasn’t following the announcements too closely, so might be wrong. Although haven’t all the questions about contract negotiations come about because it’s just a one-year contract?

I don't care about Bulut though. People want to play the kids so we can have a look at them. I know it doesn't work like that but that's why there is a clamour for kids to play. Loads of other sides do it, too. Loads.

We've played a fair few players over the last 3 seasons that are so far off the level required, you have to wonder how playing a youngster could have been worse.

I would not bet I am correct, I may have got the Rambo deal mixed in there

Re: Bulut

He's still playing loan players over our youngsters, trying to finish higher up in no mans land. Absolutely no interest in developing anything here, he's told Sawyers to find a new club yet he's on the bench in place of a kid who could use the experience.

FWIW I have changed my mind, I was in Portugal and came back full of optimism. That's long gone.

I'm guessing he sees more reliability and safety in playing the older more experienced loan players. He could play the youngsters and lose every game and probably lead to his dismissal?

He thinks that a decent upper table finish no matter how we play is worth it .

I hear folk calling for a better or change of manager ?? I don't know who that would be, based on market values and what we realistically could afford .

Re: Bulut

How do we know Tan doesn't rate Bulut? We are closer to the playoff than relegation and all we have spent £2 mill on a 24 year old. I think without all the speculation he triggers the extension and if he doesn't they negioate a cheaper contract

He's Dalman's man, if Tan rated him, he'd have a new contract.

We are but we've been dire for so much of this season, especially since November. I've asked myself a few times recently, am I wrong because I agree with Tan, or is it so bad even Tan can see it?

We've got the 7th highest wage bill in the league according to Paul Abantonado today. Managers up and down the country would cut their left arm off to come here, I hate this argument. We were a complete mess last summer, we're in a far better position now, and we got over 100 applications last time.

I agree too. This is now going to be my default response to all posts by anyone. I'm up for an easy life now!

Edit: I also agree with Pedro!

I try and have a break, as I'm sure others do, from posting here, or at least try and choose my threads carefully.
The "heavy" ones are putting years on me!

Your attitude does seem a lot less stressful

Re: Bulut

We have only won against 3 teams in the top half of the table. Ipswich we scored 2 late goals, Preston we won against 10 men and Coventry. Bulut can't complete against good teams.

Re: Bulut

I'm sure I've seen interviews with Bullut in the last week or two where he has said he wants to play some youngsters in the last few games and had also said he wants to keep going and finish has far up the table as possible.
Most of the football has been awful this season but our position in the table shows he has done a better job than the last few managers. On that basis I would keep him for another year. I have no confidence that the board could recruit anyone any better.
