To be revealed soon
Jesus if that's true imagine the length of thread on that - this is 7 pages when there is no news - it will be pipe and slippers time on hereQuote:

At least this year, I hope we have proper forwards lined up before the season starts
We need at least two as well as the youngsters like Davies.
I’ll invest in a box of Swan vestas or England Glory for the season otherwise, I’ll need something to prop the eyelids up for 90 minutes 💤
I see Rooney has been offered a job in the Championship rumoured to be Plymouth. Hopefully the rumours are accurate meaning such a daft appointment has escaped us thankfully. But stranger things have happened so let's hope it's not Bulut out and Rooney in.
i Seriously it seems to me that Bulut is not signing his contract offer in the hope something better will turn up. It's as simple as that.
Probably indicative of how desperate the club is to get him to stay. I would be surprised if he or his agent aren't delaying the decision for as long as possible for other offers to come in. As it stands, if he turns City down he's out of a job.Quote:

It will all be sorted at some point I'm sure, they will get to it in time.
All ITK intel is now suggesting that it's Bulut who has been holding out for better terms (and budget). You can't blame him.Quote:

Indeed. Australian wog = non-Anglo immigrant. Football (their soccer of course) was mostly played by these groups.Quote:

The longer the silence goes on the more likely Bulut is staying.
More than 3 weeks since the season ended. Less than 3 weeks before the transfer window opens.
I dont know why some people think that it's Bulut holding things up or delaying things ? He isn't in a position to do that, is he ? They offer him a contract and he says "yes" or "no" or "change this bit". It's then up to the club improve the contract offer or not, isn't it ? If I'm looking for a job and someone offers me a contract I don't like I can at best say "I'll let you know next week". I would do so knowing that in the meantime I might lose the opportunity altogether.
If it turns out that Bulut is the only candidate they are interested in , then they should probably looks for the means to extend his contract and increase the budget. Still , Buluts perfectly within his rights to ask for these things.
Paul Abbo(what's his name) reckons deals done, just waiting final sign off. If this is accurate we should hear next day or so.
Rejoice!Quote:

My sentiments exactly, I hope the club have included plenty of clauses in his contract, that mean they can let him go without having to pay him for a couple of years if we’re in the bottom six at Christmas.Quote:

To be fair if you're just picking out results he had some good wins too.Quote:

For me, the worry is that with a 2nd season completed he will have encumbered the club with even more 'Bulut style' players to the squad. Oh happy days...Quote:

Fixed for you.Quote:

I guess there'a a possibility that he and his team will serve up more entertainment next season, but it seems highly unlikely based on everything we saw in 2023/24. It would take a major change in his managerial philosophy and I just can't see that happening.
Do you genuinely want another season like 2023/24? If so, why? What did you see that made you enthusiastic?Quote:
