IMO, this is a clear indication that the Malaysians are listening to what the fans want, if true.

Someone close to the club and someone with passion.

I would urge a bit of caution here.

Bellamy is a firebrand which I love on the pitch.

However, managing a squad of players is like managing a staff in business. They all have different management needs and need to be handled in an individual way to get the best out of them. I'm not sure Craig has more than one way of getting his point across to people. I suspect Roy Keane suffers the same issue. Great players often make bad managers.

if he is player coach, he will only take this role if he knows the name of the next manager.
so this must have been discussed prior to hopefully removing dj.

Good point Fred. I would also say that it has to be a name as well. Otherwise he would be over shadowed by bellers all the time

A coach role is the best option I believe. Hope he does stay with us as a player next season and get some young talent in who would learn a great deal from Bellamy on the pitch.

Annis, I know we usually disagree, but I REALLY hope you're right about this. It would be great to have someone who cares so passionately about City to have such a role.

One question, what are your thoughts on him replacing DJ as player/manager?

I'm thinking that the chances are he'd only be able to play 50% of the games anyway, so maybe not too much of a burden on him to combine the roles?

Re: " I CAN CONFIRM CRAIG BELLAMY "

Didn't Martin O'Neill sign Craig for Celtic :ayatollah:

TH63, I enjoy our banter :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

But 100% they have offered Bells the job, but his contract with Man City has to be sorted and that will be where the problems will lie.
