Here’s Abbadanato’s take on this topic

Quite a comprehensive and decent article. A lot of this is true but also states the obvious.

However with three games to go, and with Bulut saying that he had already identified which players he would bring in next season, surely the decision whether to keep him or not needs to be made now. Players who will provide a more attacking option to the tippy tappy stuff in our own half and players who can stay injury free. I can’t see us getting many more points in the last three games but, with our ever increasing injury list, at least we can give some game time to our youngsters.

So can we expect Tan and our invisible board to make a decision soon or will Erol just say f#ck it and head off to pastures new?

I pretty much agree with Irish.
It's a reasonable piece in as far as it goes and concurs with much of what has been said here. It certainly does state the obvious but my main gripe with it is it only goes into next season and doesn't address the long term aims of the club. It's almost like that the author has subconsciously fallen into Tan's short termism.

Points taken Clingo but on the playing side surely we can't look further than next season.

Do we want a longer term vision that might involve relegation? We know how tough it is to get back up and established again.

Afternoon sir.
I don't think that a plan for the short, medium and long term need to be mutually exclusive.
My point which I can see that I didn't make clear, is that we shouldn't just be looking toward next season. The plan should include a joined up approach from juniors to seniors.

The development squad have their new training ground at Llanrumney. Tan is apparently funding a new place for the seniors at Hensol with the aim of the better youngsters training with the first team.

It will be helpful to have a training ground where the team don't have to move out when the egg chasers or Welsh football team turn up. It will make for a more joined up approach.

To his eternal credit, Tan has invested heavily in the future infrastructure at CCFC whilst suffering chilling losses at the more visible sharp end of the club.

"One for the future" was the downfall of Malky a dozen years back, and I just hope that quote doesn't resurface to haunt Tan. Without some serious consideration as to the correct way forward at our current Championship first team level, the good background work will be lost in the fallout.

Building for tomorrow is laudable, but today matters as well - at least it does to me and I suspect many others of a similar age - and older.......<laugh>
