Bulut also spoke to Talk Sport:
Erol Bulut:
Asked if a lack of clarity about his future might be a contributing factor, Bulut said: "It can be."
The former Fenerbahce boss added: "I don't have any problems. I respect it from the board if they are not coming with a new offer.
"I'm focusing on my job until the end of the season. Until now we haven't had any communication about that, so let's see."
Relegation does not seem to be a realistic threat with the bottom three 14 points behind, but Bulut does not want his players to simply go through the motions in the final stages of the campaign, even if they might not have much to play for.
"Maybe they think like this but I don't think so," he said.
"I told them when they came in [to the changing room], 'we cannot be comfortable because we have 53 points'.
"We still have seven more games to play and have to get as many points as we can.
"We can't stop the season from now. Everyone has to come back from this performance and in the last seven games we have to give our best, for the fans first of all and for the club, also for themselves.
"There will have to be a change mentally when we are on the field."
