Being out of your depth:

  • 90% of the squad don't belong at this level.
  • Bulut has no experience of Championship football - he's worked at a similar level in other countries but not this one.
  • The club hierarchy have no clue how to run a stable, mediocre (let alone successful) football club.


Mistrust:

  • It appears the team do not trust the advice they get from the manager/coaches - we see enough evidence on the pitch that they are not playing to a plan, yet Bulut insists there is one.
  • Bulut doesn't trust his players to use their natural abilities to their best effect. He also doesn't trust the club hierarchy.
  • The club hierarchy don't trust any manager they bring in.


These problems have dogged us for years now. It's a recipe for a football club that is far more likely to crash and burn than progress up the leagues.
