Rob Phillips - Bulut has been offered a one year contract.

[the other bob wilson]

According to Dalman he met their expectations.

But are the Board’s expectations and Vincent Tan’s the same?

And if the answer to that question is that the expectations are different then we are probably more fecked than we think 🙄

After the last two games I wouldn’t give him a one hour contract. Get Steve Cooper with Osian Roberts and we might do something.

I’d have Tommy Cooper if it meant Osian Roberts was coming.

[PontBlue]

I'd be amazed if Tan changed his stance. We'll be looking for a new manager in a few days.

We would definitely need our “pick & shovels”, if we wanted Tommy

[Dave Blue]

I would have reduced that offer by 12 months.

He already threatened to walk in january when he was on a dire string of results and performances. hopefully he facks off this time for good

my god he played some fans against their club on this one tho..i do hope they follow him to his next venture.

Also the "oh no his poor family" bullshit? HIS CHOICE TO START WITH what a bunch of mugs hes playing you for. Hes not even subtle about it!

Exactly. If I work away, I sort out my pay and other add ons before I go, If they don't meet my expectations I don't go. I don't complain months in that it doesn't suit my personal life anymore, because I was happy to go in the first place.

So have the club actually got a plan if he turns that contract down?

I would think so .
Not great for hand wringing though.

Classic

Classic

To be fair he came up with it ‘just like that’

[JumpersforGoalposts]

According to Dalman he met their expectations.

That only makes sense if the expectation was that he would not trigger the extension clause.

[Divine Wright]

Get Coops in if his wages are inthe same ballpark as Bulut's.

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

Not a fan of these short term contracts. I get in hindsight if it does't work out it looks a good decision but it's also never allowing you to build, we will always just have short termism.

I'm not saying Bulut has done much to build for the future, but with one year contacts why would anyone bother.

The club have messed this up, one of the few in the league that has known it's fate for at least a month and we still don't know who the manager will be.

If Bulut isn't the guy then thank him, identify who is and get him a decent contract that doesn't just look like he's supposed to be a glorified caretaker.

Think of the players we have signed to long term deals who do nothing for us, all likely on far more money. Yet we constantly mess about with what I think is the most important position.

We seem to treat the manager position as if it's an inconvenience to have one.

Good post!

He did the same and worked his contract to the end of the season. Now he's doing the same as you, saying I'll come for two years up to you if you don't meet my expectations I won't sign a new contract.

He's gone I think, on to the next two for this season, who will get the August to Christmas shift?

I reckon he'll stay - and if he does, come Christmas when we are being tortured again by plodding, pedestrian football played by plodding pedestrian footballers, he'll be off [by 'mutual consent]'..

[life on mars]

How can you build a team on a one year contract and a limited budget ffs

[life on mars]

He won't a one year either, its both disrespectful and has no long term message.

The only limit on the budget to date has been FFP, aside from the clubs with parachute payments we have been spending as much as all the other clubs in the division.

stop acting like football is rocket science and stop making out there isnt an HUGE incentive with the more than likely big jump in pay. Why do you think hes hanging around like a bad smell?

1 year, not enough for a lasting impression ? not that i agree with that notion but even if it were true its plenty of time to show what your intent is...AND HE REALLY HAS DONE THAT HASNT HE

Well he's got us from relegation certainties to mid table

So not to be scoffed at

depends on whether you think the previous season was a serve case of under performing rather than just "we are shit".

We have had good potential in our squad for seasons but they have been poorly utilized by inept managers. Its about time they carried one of these baffoons up the table a bit.

i personally think we had enough to challenge playoffs easily this year..we almost sleep walked right into it too but for the overly negative bulutball
