Erol Bulut My Future is out of my hands:



Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut remained tight-lipped on his future after the Bluebirds' 2-1 win over Southampton.


Fans sang in support of Bulut, whose contract expires in the summer, and chanted they wanted him to stay at the club.

Bulut says he appreciates the support but reiterated that a decision on his future will come first and foremost from Cardiff's owners.

Asked about fans chanting for him to stay, Bulut said: “Of course, if you have support from the fans, from the board and everything is really positive here.
"I don't want to speak too much about this situation, it's up to the board either way. I appreciate this.
"The board, I think, they have opinions and thinking for the future of the club. I think they will make the right decision for the club.”


"For my side, I hope to make the right decision for myself and my future."

Goalkeeper Alnwick will this summer be hoping to put this season behind him as he won’t be appearing for the last two games after months of mystery.

Erol Bulut:


“Callum Robinson and Josh Bowler were both back in training and would be available for selection for the Middlesbrough match, having missed out of the last game through illness.”

Erol Bulut:

“ Cian Ashford “

“Cian won’t be going out on loan next season if I am here, he will be part of the first team.”

"What he shows today and also the two games before, this quality he has, you saw only two or three games of him, I see him many weeks in training.

He is a little bit nervous still. So if he's a bit more calm on the ball and more aggressive against the ball, he can be a really good player, for next season, he will be a good addition.”



Erol Bulut praised Cardiff City academy star Cian Ashford for producing a moment he will never forget after the teenager's 96th-minute winner against Southampton.

Ashford was handed his first start in a Bluebirds league game against promotion-chasing Saints and took it with both hands. Having played almost 100 minutes against a top team, he chopped inside and whacked the ball into the bottom corner from 25 yards. With the help of a big deflection, but we don't have to mention that.

The Rhondda-born starlet earned his chance after standout performances for the under-21s this season and two cameos off the bench in the last two league games. Now, he has arrived.

Absolutely crazy why we haven't given EB a new contract. Crazy !!

“I would certainly consider returning to Cardiff”

Liverpool defender Nat Phillips said he would "certainly consider" returning to Cardiff City next season, with his future on Merseyside as yet undecided.

“Playing for Erol Bulut has been good for me and I and the other players are fully behind him”


The centre-back, 27, has been fantastic since signing for the Bluebirds in the winter window and has bolstered City's defence in the absence of the injured Mark McGuinness.




"I'd certainly consider [a return to Cardiff]. I've enjoyed my time here, I've enjoyed playing regularly. I want to continue playing regular football and enjoying my football.

"Any time you move clubs, a lot is up in the air. I've done it a few times with loans, so I would say I'm more accustomed to it than some people are. I know how to do it. I know Cardiff now and I've done that."

Phillips said an added factor in him considering a return to the Welsh capital is that his partner has enjoyed living in the city. But on the pitch, having the backing of manager Bulut has been huge for him.


"It's been beneficial for me in that he's taken a liking to me as a player," he added. "I've played regularly so that's played in my favour. Any time a player is moving they want to know who the coach is going to be and whether or not you're going to be a player for them."



He has two more games in a City shirt before he heads back up to Merseyside. Speaking about his plan for the summer, he said: "I had a brief conversation with the loan manager at Liverpool. There's so much going on at the club. Football is a game of a lot of uncertainty generally anyway.

"You tend to find you make one plan and something else comes along. I've learnt throughout my career to just sit back and let things unfold because it doesn't really matter how much you try and worry about it or influence it, a lot of things are out of your control."


Bulut thinks that signing him on loan again next season would be unlikely. He said: "For a loan situation, it doesn't look like that. It depends what Liverpool want. If they renew a contract with him or want to sell him, it would have to be clear between him and Liverpool and then, see how Cardiff go on with this situation.

"For sure, he will get offers and then Liverpool have to decide what they want."







There is no doubt that the manager is a huge fan of the defender, though, having played him in every game for which he has been available.

"He is a big add," Bulut added. "Especially with the defensive shape and organising the defence. Even Dimi Goutas next to him feels more comfortable and the full-backs.

"He is doing the organising from the defence and his team-mates in front of him. To have these players, it was a good choice from us and he's settled in really well. He'd like to stay, he loves to be here with us, with Cardiff. Let's see from him what will be for him for the new season."

Owner Vincent Tan is still to reveal whether he will extend Erol Bulut’s stay with Cardiff City but the manager says the hierarchy are happy with the club’s progress this season.

“I know Mehmet is happy with the progress I’ve made and he’s told Vincent Tan, who
I believe is happening.”

“I now need clarity on what is happening?”
