" Big pressure on Bulut now? "

Firstly, fair play to Erol Bulut.

He's signed Ramsey, Grant, Meite, Goutas and Ugbo.

All look like quality signings to me.

But it increases the pressure on him now.

Most people would have accepted mid table when he came in.

Now the expectation will be top half minimum with a push for the top six.

But I'm impressed a lot by Bulut and his demeanor. Not going to Leeds so can't wait for QPR

I agree but at the same time surely he has to be given time. The players will need time to gel, but we’ve got some definite quality coming in now, which we’ve severely lacked the past couple of seasons. I think with another quality midfielder, right back and a goalkeeper we could well be challenging the play off positions. At least there excitement back around the club again

Def pressure on Bulut to succeed, but I really hope he is given a lot of time

I don't think 4 or 5 players will make us be up there near the top tbh untill aload of the deadwood is gone but we shall see. The problem is if we aint up there come January the dipsticks above will probably get another scapegoat in. Eitherway I'm more excited about this season than a good few before

Big pressure from where? From who?

This is another brand new squad. Be patient!

There will always be pressure, however if city appointed him in the first place at least he has been backed with better players already. Looking at what other clubs are doing I think we are ahead of the pack. In my opinion given what we have done so far this summer we are already 10 league places better than last year and maybe more to come

I think last season's squad didn't perform well but within that squad there were some good players who will benefit by the change in management and the new additions. I think he'll be given the same amount of time that Warnock and Malky had.I also think we are about to see another side to him insomuch as the players he will show the door to may surprise some.He strikes me as the kind of gaffer that doesn't carry much emotional baggage and the players will have to adapt or leave.

Every manager is under pressure, it’s the nature of the beast. He hasn’t spent any money on transfer fees and I can’t see how he’s under any more pressure than those expected to challenge for promotion and / or those who have spent big.
Ramsey aside we’ve either signed untested players in the championship or those who haven’t performed recently. The manager hasn’t got any experience in English football. Even Ramsey will have to stay fit to really make a difference. So if there is pressure it will still be to ensure we stay up. Bookies still have us favourites for relegation.

We rarely agree, but in a new found spirit of positivity, I cannot fault your comment and think it is bang on.

Apart from Ole, our first foreign manager, and I really think he will be no pushover. Id like to be a fly on the wall in the dressing room if he loses it......

I think after the last couple of seasons we've had the pressure is not too much, yes we've got some quality additions but I'm sure the fans will be more patient with him and give him time to get the players firing on all cylinders

He needs to be given the time to achieve the expectations. Not something that happens much in the modern game. Hopefully everyone gets behind him and gives him the best possible chance. I’m Really optimistic for the season!

I think the important part is if the new signings are suited to Buluts game plan and how we want to play.

You look at the 4 he's brought in and they're all physical type players

I think Ramsey aside, which is a unique situation we can expect a very physically dominant team that play direct. With Ramsey there now we've got someone who can deliver on set plays as well.

I've got a feeling it will be a similar playing style to Malkys time where we won't dominate the ball but in your face aggressive football

Who knows but it could turn out totally different. However, I tend to agree with you.

I feel he will be given the time unless its a worse start than last season and it would have to be a lot lot worse.

I feel there has been a lot more thought gone into it this season. I'm not sure how much Bulut has cost but he is definitely a lot more experienced than Morison and Hudson put together. He has been given the chance to bring his own players in unlike Lamouchi. Also he has the added advantage of getting Ramsey, I bet he thinks Christmas has come early.

This is going to go one of two ways. I can't see it going the wrong way.

The manager doesn't kick a ball, it's the players. If the player are good enough and you play to their strengths then you'll be OK.

The problem for the recent crop of managers is they were told to play a fantasy possession game with players incapable of doing that in the championship. I don't think Bulut has that baggage.
Apparently, on the continent, he was pretty direct but that's not British direct, so I am also expecting a physical, high press, flood the midfield, pressure game, i don't think we go long though, but not a slow possession (Jacks) game. So it should be fine for our players, we love that stuff, the refs allow that so i don't see him being under any more pressure than any Cardiff City manager.

Brought some good players in already more to come feeling very positive about this season

To be honest really impressed with the signings and I am now looking forward to the season but with teams in this championship spending a lot of money we have big clubs in this division 3 big clubs like Leeds leicester & Southampton all expecting to go back up

Then you have Mboro Norwich & Sunderland were good last season spending money and Ipswich came up from league 1 spending money Sheff wed expecting to do well and not go down and lets be fair Huddersfield were playing really well at the end of last season.

Plus Blackburn Coventry Watford & millwall can be good.

To be honest just to have a safe season and not be fighting relegation like we have been for the last few years will be heaven for me especially last season was horrible and without the changes and new manager I expected us a definite team to go down.

I feel we will not go down and we will be safe mid table and if we can get 6 points off those big headed Jacks I will be a happy bluebird next season

Realistically I can’t see any team can go from avoiding relegation by a gnats cock to promotion the next season under a transfer embargo.
So I don’t see any real pressure this season unless we are regulary in the drop zone(which I can’t see) and unrest at the club.
The following season if money is spent then will come added pressure.

I’m not sure there be to much pressure it’s seems him and the transfer committee are working well together and this under a transfer embargo, I’m really excited to see what the manage and committee can do when the restraints are lifted. Then I think a bit more pressure will be on for the following season.
I feel more pressure will come from us fans we not exactly the patient and forgiving type when things don’t go our way. Lol.

The realistic aim will be mid table, whilst the more 'dramatic' aim will be play offs

All we want is a decent season and be competitive anything else will be a bonus

The only thing that would be a failure would be finishing where we are now, imo. I think that mid table would be plenty to build momentum, and I'd actually like to see a crack at a cup run for a change!

Really happy with business done so far but the manager needs time but guess if we are floating around the bottom three around Christmas after the signings made he will be gone.
Shame all this didn't happen last season as last season was one of the weakest Championships this season one of the most difficult on paper.

Its the championship anything can happen

One of the big spenders will bomb, and one of last season's crap team click and make a run, really hard to guess

Manager still wants 5 more ....The first 5 already in are Good

I get the feeling that Bulut will not be happy with mid table.

He could have remained as a manager in Turkey and I think he has come to the UK with the intention of being a Premier league manager.

The quality of players signed, recently, are so different from last summer and I genuinely believe that he has his sights say on promotion - and not mid table
