Will Vince Tan Back Bulut ?:


Tan was at the Plymouth game .

This is a very positive sign that he intends hopefully to back Bulut .

It also definitely means that he probably has already met Bulut to agree the exact plan …

How much money is available to buy players as well as wages.

The second good sign is that Tan has said he wants to and hopes to make the play-offs and that he believes we can do it. The guy means business.


The third sign is that we are two points from the play-offs ….this is with our present team. Certainly we can do much better if we strengthen with 5 or 6 players that Bulut wants.

Definately Tan can see that.


The fourth sign is that we have not been spending money to buy players ….due to the embargo. However , even before then we have spent “relatively” very little money since the Warnock era. Surely it is high time that we spend ….and very likely ‘cumulatively’ .



My guess is that we will be buying £4-5 million worth of players …… payments to be spread over 2 or 3 years . This means that roughly £2 million this window . Frankly , I can not see less than that …….if Tan is serious about backing Bulut.

Naturally there is the question of staying within the FFP rules ….. but here surely Choo and Dalman are not stupid to have exhausted our budget so badly . I do not think they have …..but if they have then they would have a lot to answer for . Personally , I have enough confidence in Bulut to do a good job and get the 5-6 players he needs and which all (most) of us fans know that he needs .

Tan can not possibly run an ambitious club without spending real money ….since Warnock. The big question is therefore :


“will Tan back Bulut” ?

He either backs the Bulut or bites the Bulut. Make of that what you will.

If I were Tan I'd give Bulut about £2m in January and say to him that if he manages a top 10 finish this season then they can have a serious chat about some proper investment in the summer.

We are not good enough to get a top 6 finish this season so I see little point in spending much money in January.

The manager needs to have a chance to prove what he can do with some money to spend but I wouldn't give him too much now as I think he still has a fair amount to prove.

We have to take into account that this is his first season in the EFL and his hands have been tied with the embargo so I'd give him that couple of million and see what he can do with the potential for more in the summer provided he can prove that it would be a worthwhile investment.

DAVIDS

Disagree with only 2 million we would be lucky to sign anyone gary madine was £5 million back in the day i am happy for him to pit a decent team together now and play together regular see whete we end up
But moreover we would be a settled team to tweak ready for next srason
Basically use the rest of this season to build.

Bulut has to sign a new deal for me and commit to the club .From last nights gulf in quality we need quality brought in that costs money so we will wait and see
