		Re: So wtf is going on with Bulut? 
		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.

 The deal can't be completed or it would have been announced and recruitment started today, it's getting ridiculous.

		If anyone's planning to head up Leckwith Rd today could they let us know if the CCS is still there. I have a feeling it's been abducted by aliens...

 I guess with pre season a month and a half away they need not worry too much yet.
 
 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.
 
 Whether or not we believe that Bulut is the man for the job, when offering a manager the position you must show faith in him and be specific with what is his budget.

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

 We have a very large squad, all under contract for next season. The early transfer market is only for big spenders (this includes wages for the best free agents). We are certainly not going to be in the latter category.
 
 Everyone, players and staff are  away on holiday.  This is why the club and Bulut are quite happy for things to take their time.

		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.

		Re: So wtf is going on with Bulut? 
		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!
 
 The club have been able to persuade the man who oversaw Cardiff 0 Leeds 3, Cardiff 0 Sunderland 2, Swansea 2 Cardiff 0 and Rotherham 5 Cardiff 2 to stay!

 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.
 
 Wintle extension on his contract FFS🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷*♂️

 To be fair if you're just picking out results he had some good wins too.
 
 I think we can all agree the football wasn't great and at this stage I don't even care if Vincent announces himself as manager.

 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...

 Point taken, but I would maintain that for every three games that could be compared to the four I mentioned, there was one Ipswich, Southampton or Swansea at home.

		I hope he doesn't take the job as it would be nice to have a different manager to have a go at next year rather the same one again - variety and all that as we have been spoiled by the volume of managers since we were relegated 👍

 Fixed for you.
 
 I'm resigned to another season (or at least another few months) of Bulut's swashbuckling brand of football and have been since he scraped that ridiculous win against Southampton.
 
 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?
