3 cups finals, anything can happen

This is arguably my biggest issue with this season. Some fans think we can make the playoffs, when the reality is we're shit and nowhere near the standard of the current top 5. I don't blame Bulut for this, it's been years in the making. We overachieved for the first couple of months and now we've been found out. Our only current hope is keeping things tight defensively and pinching goals from set pieces. That tactic will only go one way, and it's not upwards.
Let's write off this season and make it one where we build towards 2024/25.
Lost me completely, here.
I'm not expecting us to "go for it" this season. I've lost count of the times I've said I think we've overachieved this season, certainly the opening 3 months. I'm not particularly expecting us to "go for it" next season, unless Tan decides to spend.
What cannot be denied is that we're in a big slump that the manager and players seem unable to solve.
We are lucky there are 4 really bad sides in the divison otherwise we could easily get caught up in a relegation battle.
I think its more likely we will finish around 18th/19th/20th than it is 6th/7th/8th.
if we spunk a few million on some 30year olds from turkey only to be outclassed in the playoffs or not even get there it would be a mistake, that isn't building anything for the future.
if we aren't going up this season (and we aren't) we should be seeing how best we can bring the younger players through
we are in a slump, our form isnt great ( the the league does have worse teams for form ), but we stick together a tidy run and we are in the mix, we are 13th, but only 3 points from 6th, I know city fans by nature and pesermistic, but the table speaks for itself
from 20 upwards, a good run of wins in and you are in the play-offs, thats the trouble with this League,
Towards the end of last week I counted 19 incoming transfers in the championship so suspect there is still a lot of business left to do and for us that means we have plenty time left to be even more disappointed by the end of the window than we are now!!!!
Scott Twine to Bristol??
Apparently we've just appointed a new head of scouting.
Maybe not the best timing, but there's still 16 days of the transfer window left!

What would the statement be in aid of? We are hardly in the relegation zone and Buluts got until the end of the season to earn himself more time. However, I would say, going through the media and having a moan about your contract situation is probably not the best way to go about getting an extension, especially wiht someone like Tan.
Too many times in the past we have handed out longer deals to managers just because they hit a purple patch so the club have obviously learned some lessons.
Bulut is hardly pulling up trees that he needs to be tied down asap.
