Re: Erol Bulut

Remember when certain journalists within the local press were suggesting City needed to give Bulut a new contract urgently as clubs all over Europe were queuing up to secure his services?

He ended up at low-grade Turkish club and got sacked there after ten games.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. And in this case it was definitely a duck.

A dead duck.

That ridiculous show at Rotherham with fans chanting for him to stay having lost 5-2 to the worst team in the division. Embarrassing.

He was a poor manager who was very lucky with the amount of late goals that we scored, that was never sustainable as many argued and it showed the next season

We picked up 15 points with late turnarounds/winners in that season, having not looked like scoring at all in most of those games. Had just 2 of those not happened we would have finished 19th, wild that people wanted him to stay

Those fans got what they deserved when we were relegated. Truly one of the most embarrassing episodes of our clubs recent history.

Yep, I couldn't believe what I was hearing - Bulut's first season was living proof that the old adage about the league table never lying at the end of a season is, in fact, a lie.

I’m 57 years old. I’m a rational grown man. But even now, 12 months on, I start to have irrational thoughts when I simply see a thread about this bloke. My first game was in 1975. I’ve seen some clueless clowns manage the city, but this guy, for me, easily slots in in 1st place. I don’t care about the 12th place. I hated it. I’m going…..

That’s the problem with our brainwashed fanbase. Everything bad is because of Tan. Anything good is in spite of Tan. Now I know this doesn’t seem to link but in my opinion It transpired into the fans backing the manager against Tan and the board, and Tan bowing to public pressure.

As for Bulut, his football style of defensive and compact is all well and good, providing you win games. He wasn’t good enough.

I disagree, the fan base and their attitude has changed, especially at away games. It seems that we have a sizeable chunk of support who are there to show undying love towards the players and manager and who aren't really into giving criticism where merited. It's just an anecdotal observation on my part, but it seems societal, people put up with crap. We were never like it, we would boo the players during the warm up....

Tony Capaldi got subbed at half time once at Ninian Park and it was announced over the tannoy during half time and received a massive cheer 👍

I reckon the fella who followed him runs him close for that particular accolade.

More recently, I remember Peter Whittingham getting booed when he passed back to the goalie from the halfway line.

How many long range goals would he get in this team? We do tend to try and walk it in on times, anywhere within 25 yards he’d be lethal.

We try to walk it in a A LOT. Before Saturday, we'd been trying and failing to score that goal all season.

Re: Erol Bulut

I bet his opening 6 fixtures were really tough. Bloke gets no luck.
