Should Bellamy be sacked

Re: Bellamy

Yes, he should have gone after the Burnley crap.

Should've been sacked after failing to make the World Cup.

Should've been sacked against after the Burnley nonsense.

Agree, wanted him gone after Bosnia but certainly after that happened he should have gone.

Awful tonight. Not saying I expect to beat Denmark away but there was just nothing in the performance.

Needs to go.

Should go for not putting colwill bros Ashford who are young welsh lads coming through but still plays Connor Roberts and and Cullen on the bench savage gets a shout and what the f.ck does he see in johnson, tactics 6 changes to many tactics,all wrong.

YES WITHOUT A DOUBT SACKED

Re: Poll: Craig Bellamy

Bringing Cullen on in midfield against Bosnia should have been it

I voted no; but only because I like Craig and I think he will ‘walk’ sooner rather than later

In my eyes, his dalliance with the Burnley job opened him up, and he lost a heck of a lot of credibility as the Waies national manager/coach. His (apparent) refusal to play more than able Bluebirds is a little confusing too!

Bellamy for me a number 2 an assistant not a manager

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Sun Sep 27, 2026 6:23 pm

I think he will walk soon,unfortunately he’s just not up to it yet.Dont think he’ll be any better in championship either.

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

I doubt we can afford to sack him and recruit anyone half decent. Let Rambo have 2 full seasons at Oxford, then see where he is at.

But Bellamy's tactics of headless chickens running themselves into the ground need to be reconsidered. BBM team press in patterns and know when to stay and go. Bellamy just wants little Duracell bunnies

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Sun Sep 27, 2026 6:27 pm

I voted no, we have another friendly (nations league) game this window for him to change my mind. Today I’m assuming he’s teasing with tactics and failed. If he fails again to even consider Colwill after picking Sheehan and Savage, it’ll be clear he doesn’t want a Cardiff player playing

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

No.

A weakened squad who are competing at probably a level or two above our quality.

It'll get worse before it gets better. At least he's a proud Welshman.

No-one improves the results as we're a very good championship level squad at best.

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Admittedly Bellamy hasn't been doing great but there's only so much you can do with a squad where 50% of the players are championship level or lower when you're coming up against teams like Portugal. Unfortunately the Bale era has made expectations unrealistic since he's retired.

He's a proud Welshman until Burnley come knocking. If he was as proud as you say he would have told Burnley no straight away because a proud Welshman would want to be in charge of his national team not considering an offer from a championship team.

But I thought he was a proud Welshman. If you're just going to go off on a tangent about money then that's a totally different conversation & has nothing to do with what you originally said.

You brougnt the Burnley bit up, not me. I dont begrudge him talking to Burnley. It happens.

You can be a proud Welshman and further your career and earnings. They aren't opposing factors.

The squad is shit, who do you want to replace him?

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Sun Sep 27, 2026 7:39 pm

Think we need to re group and maybe have a couple of seasons bedding the youth in .
Think were flogging a dead horse with most of them , change your system and I wouldnt pick a few ever again

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Sun Sep 27, 2026 9:45 pm

Sack him for over achieving with a low championship pool of players to choose from. Lol. Absolutely mental.

You’re spot on sb. There’s some decent def people on here, the fact they play at the top level for the nations trophy is an achievement.

Keep Bellamy and sack the players.
Choose the Cardiff City Welsh players and we should beat teams like Portugal, Norway and Denmark every time!! :lol:

Ashford and colwill would have been more of a threat than Johnson and put more of a shift .

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Mon Sep 28, 2026 9:46 am

Started off ok with Bellamy, could see they were trying to play good attacking football. Although we wasn’t winning much, there were promising signs. Now we seem to have stalled, really struggling to hold on to possession and build any momentum going forward. We should not be getting dominated by Denmark. They are a good side but these are the teams we should be challenging.

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

He's only here because the Burnley job fell through

The players don't look bothered now either

Think it's best for everyone if he goes

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Some mental responses getting into a top nations league group was a great achievement. This isn't a team of world beaters. Wales shouldn't be beating any of these teams with this squad

Agreed. Bellamy's hands are tied with a very limited pool to choose from, with very little quality.
If Harry Wilson and Joe Rodon were fit, they would be straight in Bellamy's team.
Otherwise, I can't see the likes of Ashford or the Colwill boys would make a great deal of difference to results against the nations we are currently up against.

Even then Harry Wilson and Rodon are not top level players despite being our absolute best... I understand the criticism of Bellamy's substitutions during the Bosnia game that's pretty much all he's done wrong. Burnley is obviously a much better job financially than Wales who wouldn't take a good look at that, certainly none of the people criticising him for it. I'd love to see Ashford and Colwill play but I'm also fully aware that's rose tinted glasses. Ashford can't get in our team at the moment and I don't think Joel is in BBM's first 11 if he's got a full squad

Re: Poll: Should Craig Bellamy be sacked?

Reluctantly yes as he obviously got these players playing some good stuff at the start but yesterday was bewildering in team selection, tactics and subs. He doesn’t speak like he realises there are problems…
