Immediate sorting out

Sun May 19, 2024 2:28 pm

The situation needs to be sorted out NOW. There are a lot of good players being released by their clubs or are now out of contract. The longer we dilly dally the less chance we have of getting GOOD players and we will be left with the also rans yet again.

Dont forget there are another 22 clubs looking for players and will be in same position as us? Early days yet and you hope officials at city (dont mean the 3 omegos) keeping In contact with agents time to worry is no manager come start season ..

So if it’s not the 3 omegas who sort out transfers who the heck are the officials? Maybe the painter/ decorator is back or an equivalent

Whoever does the scouting and liase with agents.. or do you think dalman or Ken ring around agents of players asking who do they have available? A manager gets involved so does his assistants ect...... lot more to football than the owners Co ect that's why said problems if mo manager before season starts

The situation is likely to be resolved in the next few days but no clear indicator of which way the manager's situation will go....

It was initially indicated that a 'more than 12-month' contract was agreed but that now appears wide of the mark with the owner preferring to have an effective 'rolling contract' situation in place...

I'll be honest here and say I actually understand the owner's concerns for a McCarthy-like contract but equally, I would like Erol Bulut to stay for next season...

I now have my (personal) doubts; but either way, most players are released in June/July and bought/signed near the sason's start, so nowhere nar panic time...yet! :ayatollah:

I am also with Tan on this. McCarthy effectively gave up after his good start and contract extension. He almost provoked his dismissal and i assume we paid his contract for the duration, hence why Tan wanted cheap for that period until it almost cost us our championship place.

I'd love to know what caveats Watford places in their head coaches' contracts that allow them to go through them so frequently. I reckon (pure guess) Tan wants those sort of terms in Buluts.

The whole situation is utterly ridiculous

It should have been sorted weeks ago. If Tan didn’t want Bulut he should have been released as soon as the season finished and another manager appointed

But once again we are left in limbo..Tan is an absolute idiot who makes the same mistake again and again when will he ever learn?? His incompetence has cost him £millions

It's bulut not making a decision apparently he's been offered a rolling contract by tan/dalman guess tan should have just said goodbye dont want you then bulut wouldn't have a decision to make about city.... and tell me why hasn't bulut walked if treated as badly as been made out on here.. you do realise he's a free agent so upto him what he does not ccfc.

Yep I’m aware he’s a free agent which makes the delay even more ridiculous

Tan has supposedly offered him a contract and that contract Bulut has found not acceptable so we should move on

The heirachy would have known this weeks, maybe months ago so why are we still left in limbo?

Incompetence on behalf of the Board (Tan)

If bulut found it unacceptable why hasn't he gone elsewhere and told club no thanks seeing as number of clubs wanting him.? Cannot put blame entirely on ccfc when no facts are provided by either parties other than offer on table in form of rolling contract. ... but there again if club got rid of bulut that be wrong and club gets blame! lose lose for club it appears. .. :o

The fact it appears they are still talking means there must be a chance of a compromise that is acceptable to both parties

Hope so because if not we are going to way behind other clubs in planning for next year. A situation we too often find ourselves in!!

Agree we cannot find ourselves in same position year after year.... not sure if there's nothing unusual about things at club just normal end season lull waiting on decisions or whether something biggish is in the air concerning club that effects everything ? Hopefully soon get answers.

Paper talk probably as they keep a list of clubs after him unfortunately can only go on what's put out by media outlets as we know nothing regarding city! But always been my question why hasn't he gone to another club if he's Been treated so badly??
