  • So wtf is going on with Bulut?

    Sitting on the fence is unacceptable. Either he's in or he's out.

    How the club can prepare for next season under the current circumstances is beyond me!:facepalm:

    It's not a joke, it's pathetic!

    I've been logging in here a couple of times a day and until I saw your post I'd forgotten why I was doing it.

    Seriously, I'm praying he's flounced off back to Turkey, but knowing our knowledgeable lot they're probably doing everything possible to get him to stay and deliver his 'Turkball' for another season..

        It's not "Cardiff" that's the issue, it's Tan and Mehmet that are the problem.

          Imagine he's got an offer on the table he's not that fussed on (one year without the commitment he wants to see in the transfer market) and he's waiting to see if he'll get anything better?

            And useless managers who can’t make up their mind whilst waiting for a better offer.

                I guess it's his perogative to wait till he has a better offer if he isn't convinced by the one offered by Tan.

                It's also up to Tan if he thinks a 1 year contract is the most sensible thing he can offer.

                The only thing is, there is nothing to stop Tan going to another manager in the meantime. In fact, there is nothing to stop Tan speaking to another manager beforehand. He could then say to Bulut. "Look. You've got a week to decide before I offer the job to Paul Ince" .

                So ye. Ultimately, the problem is with the man at the top. It's a shoddily run enterprise.

                Does this club attract an above average number of sociopathic/egotistical/incompetent owners. It sometimes feels that way.

                  I remember back in 2003 reading that the team that goes up via the Play Offs are at a disadvantage because there’s almost a month before they learn which division they’ll be in compared to everyone else and they therefore can’t start planning in earnest until they do. Well, Oxford can rest assured that there is one established Championship club that has put itself at a bigger disadvantage than them through a mixture of ineptitude and arrogance - we know from painful experience all about Vincent Tan already, but, in my opinion, Bulut’s not good enough to mess us about like he is.

                    on the slim chance that Vincent Tan reads this message board - please don't give the job to Paul Ince

                      I think it's less important than usual because nearly the entire squad is under contract (Sawyers, Ojo had Zimba leaving is not going to alter any planning). It appears that all championship squads are now built around their 5 Premier League Loanees that come in late in the window. In terms of numbers (not quality) in the squad, we are only lacking at centre forward and centre back.

                      As always, the validity of stalling over Bulut depends on Plan B (if there is one).

                      Bulut has played the brinkmanship/media game from day 1. Another reason why I'm not a fan.

                        I can only blame the club (tan) here. This could have been sorted weeks ago one way or the other.

                        Either give the guy the contract he's after or go elsewhere and spin that lucky roulette wheel again. You can't leave it drag on this long.

                        New levels of incompetence being achieved all the time.

                          Bulut must believe his own hype, if he thinks he can play a waiting game, no doubt he’s agent has a list of top jobs that he is in the frame for.

                          In reality he’s lucky that he’s been offered another year here, after his anti football offering and pathetic performances in the last few games

                          I still think there’s better out there

                            We have no idea what's going on behind the scenes ......which is obviously part of the problem

                            But there you go

                              I actually agree with you fully.

                              Our team won't actually change much between now and the first game of the season.

                              I can't say I'm excited for the season to start.
