My view a few months back was that the jury should still be out on Bulut. I think that is still the position.
He seems to be more of a real manager than many of our recent team bosses - but the scorecard is mixed.
He has overperformed up to the beginning of December. Since then it has been the opposite.
Has he impressed with team selection, match tactics or substitutions? Mixed picture.
Has he improved players through his coaching team? Not much evidence of that.
Has he led the club, provided a vision and direction for the team, and created a relationship with the fans? Again a mixed picture. He does appear to over promise and under deliver, but that is part of the ‘honesty’ that excites WOL so much.
Has he brought through u21s? He has said the right things and put some of them on the bench but not gone the next step. Disappointing!
Has he been a success with transfers in/out and team building. Not yet - but probably not his fault.
No reason for knee jerk optimism about a play off push and no real danger of relegation (not yet anyway) and for me that represents progress.
Still work in progress. Some good, some bad. May turn out to be our best manager for 40:years. Could be a Turkey!
