Erol Bulut:
"Let me be frank, I want to be a manager in the Premier League and to lead our team to success there. Hopefully, I can achieve this with Cardiff this season.”
"In the coming years, along with Cardiff, I can coach in the top league of the world and achieve success. But as I always say, my goal has always been the highest level. Whether I can achieve it, we will see."
"My journey with Cardiff isn't over yet. Hopefully, I'll achieve the goal that they, I, and the management all desire this season, promotion.”
Bulut hopes he has created a platform from which Cardiff can now launch. The two years previous to last season was dire for City supporters and the mere sniff of play-offs — Cardiff rose as high as fifth in the league when they won the Severnside derby
against Bristol City on October — had Bluebirds supporters dreaming.
"When we look at the years before this one, there was a Cardiff that narrowly escaped relegation from the league," he said. "Actually, the year before me they actually got relegated but Reading had six points deducted, so the team stayed (in the Championship).
"We took over such a team. There is no money — I guess that's my fate, it's the same wherever I go — the last teams I went to, all of them had financial shortages. We tried to make transfers with a minimum budget and resources.
"We tried to bring in good players, but despite those difficulties, we did good work. The atmosphere was such that when we arrived, our own player doesn't want to renew his contract. The club was facing so many issues. Nobody wants to renew their contract.
"Anyway, we went to the Portugal camp (in pre-season), we brought a certain atmosphere to the Portugal camp and it became a really good environment.“
"Their goal was to stay in the league. At the beginning of the season, there was a sudden shift from, 'Oh, just keeping us in the league will be enough', to 'Oh, are we going to make it to the play-offs?'
"We've created such a situation. Hopefully, this year, if we can build upon it and bring in the players we want, we aim to contend for the play-offs, at least.”
"The goal has always been the highest level,promotion , so if you ask me if I'm happy right now, the answer is no. On the one hand, I'm happy to have entered the European scene. But if I say I'm happy, then I should quit coaching today because I would have lied. I need to try harder, so I want to push forward with all my might."
"Because some fans use the last of their salary to come to the stadium and buy tickets. They also want to see good football and they want their team to win. Naturally, they want the championship. Footballers also need to look at it from this perspective.”

Saying all the right things but he said those things before last season also and I'm really hoping he can change the way of playing to provide a bit more entertainment this season.
A bit worrying to hear him say quite clearly that there's no money but not surprising given the way the club has been run over the last few years.

David,
Last season was his first in English football and he wasn’t backed like he was promised.
Over all I sat on the fence regarding what he did
Every season we have been accepting mid table, they know that’s old hat now and the CCFC Board and Bulut have deliver at least 6th position at worst and not hovering around 7th or 8th.
The talk is over, time to deliver.
Bluebirds

Bulut can be
"frank spencer" for all i care
Just lets play attacking football and go for games sick of this recycle the ball back to the keeper and again and again.

I am still not convinced with him tbh, seems to be a lot about getting his foot in the door of the European scene rather than managing the City.
I will give him till December to decide if he is right. I still have a feeling we will be in a relegation battle, hopefully it won't be the case.
