BREAKING OFFICIAL : “ EROL BULUT GETS TWO YEAR DEAL “

Glad he got the two years he wanted, I assume his family will be moving over which will help him personally.

Positive that targets have been identified.

Some of us wanted him to stay, others didn’t. If the football doesn’t improve or he doesn’t get results then people will be entitled to criticise him.

But I hope that for now at least we can all get behind the manager and hopefully there will be significant strengthening of the playing squad.

Club nail down transfer priorities 10 days from window opening amid 'massive potential'
By Glen Williams

The Bluebirds announced that Erol Bulut had signed a new contract and will stay with the club for another two years in a show of faith from the owner and stability from the club's board.

The club, we understand, have made a striker their primary target, with goals from open play a big work-on for the club next term, as well as a winger, with Karlan Grant and Josh Bowler having left to return to their parent clubs, and a central midfielder also at the top of their shopping list.

That is a good starting point, because City also need a back-up striker, another winger, a centre-back and a left-back, all positions which could also be addressed when the window swings open on June 14.

We are told that transfer work was being undertaken behind the scenes anticipating the eventuality that Bulut and his coaching staff would stay on this summer. Without any transfer embargoes and Profit and Sustainability headroom expected to be more generous than in January, the club are confident this summer can be a fruitful one.

Stability is an underappreciated quality when it comes to Championship football and Bulut will now begin his second season at the helm this summer.
