Bulut

[MOZZER2]

speaking highly of our fan base again .

Without getting into a Bulut bashing thread on here think he deserved to get at least another full year under his belt with us .

🗣️Erol Bulut : There was an amazing fan support in Cardiff. I experienced that pride as well.

Unfortunately, the team is not progressing well at the moment.
I hope they stay in the league.

That fanbase deserves it. They deserve their team to stay in the league. pic.twitter.com/1ok7dNoK2f

If we knew the club wouldn't bother appointing anyone and would just leave his new assistant in place I think we would all have rather bulut stayed.

With the benefit hindsight, was it even that bad of a start? 4 of the 5 defeats under him could end up being against the top 2 and 2 play off teams.

Re: Bulut

We got 40 points from his last 38 games. He was a terrible manager, and I know this for a fact as he was appointed by Vincent Tan.

How about we stop pining for failed managers, and look for someone half decent? The only ex manager we've had since Warnock that wasn't a donut was Harris.

actually it strengthens my argument what an achievement Bulut achieved in his first year in UK football

we will never know how he would do with a 2nd year under his belt

Umm. No. Count me out.

Re: Bulut

Bulut was awful! We would have been down by Xmas if he had stayed at the helm. Riza is bad, but Bulut would have had us obtaining even less points if he had stayed in charge.

The mistake was to replace the incompetent Bulut with Riza

As I've said too many times before, we had such a good start to last season that it enabled us to be shit for 6 months and still finish in the top half. Those first 3 months were generally very good, could have been better if we could have held onto some leads, then it all went wrong.

Some fans make the mistake of just looking at the season as a whole - 12th being something to treasure after a couple of poor seasons. But the reality is that some fans were talking playoffs for most of it, that January was going to be the time to strengthen for a promotion push. What happened? 6 months of poor performances, pathetic negative football and it was only due to pinching some comeback wins when we didn't deserve them that kept us up there.

Years ago under Dave Jones, we were top of the table for the opening months, kept hold of a top 6 spot after a poor run, then folded late on and finished 13th. That season was a failure. Like a marathon runner who starts well but can't keep the pace. Any season that starts well and fades badly can't be a success - the initial great start is long forgotten amid a long spell of mediocrity and rubbish. That 13th placed finish looked ok after a 12th placed finish the season before, but we started the following season in the same form (badly) and Jones was lucky to keep his job.

However, things were much worse at the start of this season than they ever got in the worst of moments under Dave Jones. Sadly, some fans like rewriting history when things aren't going well. Bulut deserved the sack. Riza deserves the sack. But both have some sympathy from me as they're not the sole reason for the club being in this position. Far from it.

Re: Bulut

Bulut was an awful manager and we were heading down anyway with him. We had a better squad last year and we're still useful at set pieces.

It's unfair to compare Riza with Kevin Cullis as he's not that bad but it was a shocking appointment and I dont believe any other Football League Club would have made such a stupid appointment but it was entirely predictable by the clowns running the club.

An awful summer window. El Ghazi , Willock , Chambers have been awful signings.

Still I'm sure with a decent window in January a half decent coaching set up would have seen us survive.

But removing Bulut was correct.
