Erol Bulut:

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Cardiff City fans. If I stayed for another year, it was because of the support I received from Cardiff fans everywhere.

Whoever is on that commitee should all hang their heads. Whatever did they see there?

You'd get better, pitch 10, Barry Sports Centre no disrespect. :bluescarf:

Wiggy, I have said for years that this Committee Tan, Dalman and Choo have been the down fall of Our Club.

Manager is just a title, who picks the team from what they are told what players are coming to the club,they need more freedom.
Tan needs to invest in the club, run by decent Management, ask the fans what they want, come to an agreement.
That's why Cardiff city are in this needless position year after year fighting to stay up,crowds dwindling every week.

What I would like to know - who EXACTLY is the transfer committee. It wouldn’t be Tan, Dalman and Choo scouting players. Who then are they? Whoever they are you can bet on it they are getting paid - for being useless.

And this is the problem our club has got,no decent manager is going to come here with hands tight behind his back and being told who you can sign etc,riza can’t believe his luck how’s he got the job,we all know this was the case at the club and don’t know why people act so surprised that our so called board make the signings they are useless and we need gone asap

Nail on head mate, that's why I'm hoping the changes made in the recruitment process and the team will have an effect soon.

Not in the Tan camp at all, but there needs to be some balance here. Salech is a striker signed by the committee, Mannswerk and Alves are loans signed by the transfer committee. Robertson was also signed by the transfer committee. All clubs get things wrong, we are a Btec Man united who do it on an industrial level to be fair.

Kanga lack of effort was on Kanga, he just gave up when he realised that championship center halfs were superior to him and lost confidence, he was barely at national league level at the end. Glatzel got physically bullied but never gave up, Kanga just gave up in my opinion.

i picked up on a statement from Dalman not long ago:

"We need to bring in more expertise".

I personally rhink he is referring to this Transfer Committee (TC) and since then we have heard of one or two "adjustments" to the TC like some young yuppie who now is running the show there.

Riza actually says the one Signing he has actually made was Salech and Tan allowed him one Signing.

The loans are virtually no good to us as we get them fit they start to show their quality and off they go back to their clubs.

We need to build our own team 15 years later , we finally might have started.

I haven't believed much from the club or managers for a while, i knew i was being played by Warnock but he was so good at it I lapped it up.
I doubt Riza watches much Scandinavian football but when he saw the tapes of Salech realised that's his best chance to stay in the game so went all out to get him as if his future relied on Kanga and Etete as target men he was knackered.

We do need to build a team of our own players, that I will agree with, but to say that loan players are virtually no good for us is a massive stretch.

Our win against Blackburn was two good crosses from loan players.

Yes they will go back to their parent clubs, but loan players are still important to us these last couple of seasons.

All clubs even burnley ect use the loan system to their advantage it unables clubs to top up squad often with quality and if it succeeds that club as 4 or 5 spaces to sighn players appropriate for league get promoted to? In that respect loans are better for clubs than permanent sighnings that fail like Kanga

This is very interesting from Bulut.

Normally you don't hear managers say anything after they've left because they normally sign an NDA, but it seems that Bulut may not have because he's talking.

Will be interesting to see what he says about Riza, Kanga and the transfer committee.

One of the reasons Tan was never sure about keeping Bulut was because he knew he couldn't control him, Bulut would say what he wanted a lot of the time.

Loan players are good for us if they can play with in a week or two not weeks later then only for 20-30 mins etc

The success rate of the players we have brought in the last few seasons is very poor ….throw enough darts and eventually u will hit the board.
Combine that with an inexperienced manager and a board defunct of football knowledge and u end up with a club just getting by season by season.
Complete overall needed .

Wonder why he doesn’t like Riza :o

Re: Erol Bulut: “ Wilfred Kanga “

Sun Mar 23, 2025 5:42 pm

Accept we’ve had a lot of misses with transfers over the last 10 years, and Kanga was obviously poor. But I do feel we’ve turned a corner.

The likes of Salech, Robertson, Fish and maybe Daland have a lot of potential to push us on or be sold for good money IMO.

There is a question for the fans next meeting with the club :shock:

I’m sure I saw not long ago that our Head Scout had left recently.

There will always be players that don’t work out at certain leagues or clubs, but Kanga was a strange one. Doesn’t seem to work out anywhere yet still has clubs after him.
