Disappointed, as Erol Bulut thought he had his man; plus one other... :cry:

This is a real shame as there seemed to be a chance due to his links with Bulot and Siopis. Apparently he only cost them 1mill aswell

Strange one got to assume it's not the fee as it was rumoured to be 1.5m originally... wages possibly the problem was reported on high wages
I'm sure it will come out maybe?

No shock your right bulut said we can't afford him ages ago so he knew the score... as for moore Bournemouth want club to pay his 40k a week wages and possibly a fee as well bulut is not stupid and wouldn't want or expect club to pay this sort of wages especially as beketatas was same scenario....

Bulut himself quashed this rumour in December if I recall correctly. So not really a missed target at all.

Crazy wages and I know you have to pay the going rates if you want the best but the kind of money KM is on is way too much and I hope the club don't pay it.
Hopefully the new Ukrainian has a few gems up his sleeve eg Vardy.
Still time.....

I thought it was not expected Bulet had said it would not happen due to salaries being way out of our league So let’s not pretend it was expected and we failed

Do we need to change the wage structure because if we won' t pay matching wages with other clubs in this division we are never going to get out of the championship its plain as vicent tans trousers.

We went down that route before with Bacuna, Pack, Smithies etc and look where that got us!!

If we can’t afford it we can’t afford it…It’s no secret Tan said it only last month we will not pay over the odds or get involved in an auction. This will not be popular with the fans but it’s an economic fact unfortunately

What is disappointing is that we can better the offers most of the Lower championship teams can offer but still no signs of any players?

Monty
We simply cannot compete with every club in championship we can compete with most if required ... quality does come at a price unfortunately championship going way of premier league the haves and have nots... what is more important is a manager who gets most out of the players at his disposal and who he can bring in what is vital is what dalman does next regarding manager at end season around 4 out contract another 4 loans going so recruitment of players will define way we go and following season even more out contract so a 4/5 year plan is essential hopefully board can see this... bulut does I'm sure thats what rant was referring to other day.

Why should be the question that we cannot compete with a lot of teams in the championship finacially is it down to the fans not turning up or at the very top
so what can be done "hypnotise vicent tan"

Think the boat as sailed regarding paying silly money for players wages same for all clubs in championship! Ffp as got most scared of over spending ... even premier clubs suffering ncastle is one that's scary :o it needs a total rethink of way we go forward manager wise player wise bulut seems to grasp the situation but will he be supported ( not necessarily ££££s) but what he wants to do player wise if he stays of course.
