Craig Bellamy interim Manager?

Thu Mar 13, 2025 8:52 am

Just a thought after the next Wales games they don’t have another game until June6 a month after the season finishes

Bellamy could do the job for our last 8 games

Knows the club inside out, knows the players, lives local and would be a huge boost if we could pull it off

1) Would he won’t it ?

2) Would the Welsh FA allow it ?

3) Would it work ?

Just a thought..what do you think?

The more obvious question should be No.4

4: Would he want/take it?

Answer: NO! (and it’s well established as to why not) :ayatollah:

Bells has told me 5 Different times and I have put it on here many times:

“Will never work for Tan again.”

The way he treats managers etc etc

And the way he was treated while at Cardiff.

Bellamys reputation is on the up with Wales ….why would he even think about getting involved at Cardiff

Would he even have to have any contact at all with Tan??

It’s a 5 week job managing the 1st team nothing else

Any contact could be done via Dalman or Choo

Our best chance of staying up is with Bellers but by the sound if it because of the people in charge it’s not going to happen…which probably sums up our club at the moment….shambolic!!

Told me to my face, he could never ever work under Tan again.

Not happening. He's got enough on his plate with Wales.

He also said in an interview with Gary Neville when he was at Burnley, that he hasn't got what it takes to be a club manager - he knows it's seven days a week and he said he couldn't do that for his own wellbeing.

Plus, we also have to stop pretending he's a Cardiff fan. It might make us feel warm inside but he's a Liverpool fan and always has been.
