bellamy to replace slade as manager in the summer

In all fairness I've heard this as well so it must be more than a rumour,only sticking point is Bellamy and more to the point his great admiration for Malky who he wants to bring with him as director of football.

Jesus Chr ist, I've seen some garbage posted on here over the years, this has got to be up there.

Do you honestly think Malky could come back here and have a say on transfers etc after the last episode?

I wouldn't be surprised if VT has got a restraining order on him not to be within 50 miles of the CCS.

Considering Malky's transfers took us to a League Cup final, won us the Championship by 8 points and kept us above the relegation zone during his entire reign in the Premiership, I think it would be very good for Malky to come in and have a say on transfers. I don't know why you find that idea so funny?

maybe because he was shocking at premier league level in that respect.

only getting the sack before 3 or 4 hard fixtures saved Malky from taking us into the bottom 3

Nonsense. We would have taken more than 1 point from the West Ham and Sunderland home games if Malky remained.

Malky would have got us enough points in the second half of the season to keep us up, as we only had Chelsea and Liverpool left to play at home during the second half of the season. The rest of our home games were against teams in the bottom half and under Malky, I 100% believe we would have picked up enough points in those games to stay up.

Cornelius was obviously an expensive flop, he had just won the Danish young player of the year and broken into the national side, so I could see at the time why Malky took the gamble. But we got our money back with Malky's other signings, so he was hardly shocking with transfers at Premiership level. Gary Medel is the best player I have ever seen in a city shirt and it was a credit to Malky that he managed to attract that calibre of player to a newly promoted club.

Unfortunately, the damage was already done by Tan before our 3-0 defeat to Southampton. If Tan kept his nose out, I believe we would still be a Premiership team now. But in a way, I'm glad Ole was brought in to ruin things as we would probably still be a red club if we stayed in the Premiership.

Getting back on topic, the idea of Craig Bellamy, a man with no managerial experience stepping in to take on managing our club in our level of debt, is an astonishing one. Bellamy is nowhere near ready for that level of managerial responsibility. It would end in tears!

agree with you on bellamy.


cant agree with the rest, we were doomed with malky here imo and it was worth the gamble to try and get us out of it

agree with you on bellamy.

I think your missing the point. He's malky could and would never work under tan again. Not because of his skills but because of a small 'debate' between the two. It's a ridiculous suggestion.

agree with you on bellamy.

No it clearly wasn't worth the gamble, because the gamble didn't pay off.

Here he is, the guy who thinks he's the Gary Nevelle of the forum.

The bit I was laughing at was the fact that anyone who thinks Tan will have him anywhere near this club after what's gone has a screw loose.

I never mentioned anything about what he achieved as our manger ffs, I know full well what he achieved Nev.

Eureka!!

Nev just cannot help himself always has to pull a stat or a fact out even when there's no need to.

There was more to the Malky/Tan issue than just football. That's what I was getting at.

In that case I misinterpreted your post then. It seemed to me you was slating Malky's transfers. Obviously, Tan would never want Malky back at the club and Malky would never want to work for Tan again.

As for your Gary Neville reference, thank you for the compliment. I only remember us having one debate about the Wales v Andorra score, and we both know who was proved correct.

Smug as ever.

Are you still dining out on your Whitts stat?

Championship team of the week last week too. So much for us being better off without him.

he has no business being smug after his post about moore, caulker, mutch and campbell being the future spine of the england team

All this talk of glory supporters! It's not glory a lot of people want, it's to be entertained with a good brand of football. Something sadly lacking since slade took over. Personally with hands tied, ffp and whatever else has been thrown at him, well; hats off, and fair play to the man he did the job he was asked despite being the unwanted man from the off. But, IF he can get the team with a brand of entertaining football, bums will return on seats. It's simple, entertain the crowd and they will turn up on bigger numbers. And that is why so many would like Bellamy, they believe he will bring that brand with the right support.

In my opinion

What you mean playing expansive free flowing champagne football like Malky's side did?

In my opinion

My opinion is that you're spot on.

You knew with malky what you getting, his football was based on breaking quickly, catching the opposition out and on many occasion we did so in style! Yep we had games that were boring, but on the main it was good, and there were great games. Under slade we have had fans sleeping, fans leaving in large numbers at half time and the odd improved game. So if Bellamy or whoever can come in; or dare I say it, if slade can just get us playing decent football more often than the crap we have mostly been watching, numbers will grow.

Might increase season ticket sales for sure.....

Really not sure on Bellamy he would be a massive gamble.

On the one hand he was a hot headed bad tempered player, almost like a Costa type of character. On the other he is a very motivated person and a winner, someone who gives and would want 100% from his players.

He would probably get Dutch Ray as his number two or in his management team, it would be interesting, but overall I'm not sure it would work. I'm not a believer in new inexperienced Managers at this level, they fail more than they work IMO, I would still prefer a Warnock, Pearsonor Dyche type of Manager.

He would create massive interest again, it would be an interesting project, but from what I've read in the past he wouldn't work with for our ownership team.......

My Whitts stats the past 2 seasons when he was playing centre midfield was a fair and reasonable post. If Whitts was still playing in the centre, I believe we would still be struggling and we definitely wouldn't be scoring the amount of goals we have been the past few games in my opinion.

Whitts has now been shifted to the left and he's starting to perform again, as he's in a different position more suited to him where he has more time on the ball and doesn't have to do as much running. It was a good move by Slade putting Whittingham back on the left and I'm pleased he's playing well again. That's where Whitts should continue playing. Long may it continue.

Well thanks for agreeing with me about Malky, I can sleep peacefully tonight now.

I clearly said that at the time our Premiership season was starting, we could have a spine of potential future England internationals, as Moore, Caulker, Mutch and Campbell were good, young, English players at the time.

Moore was tipped by David James as a future England number 1, Caulker had already been capped but his antics off the field have ruined his potential, Mutch was getting better and better but injuries have ruined his progression and Campbell has gone backwards. Glenn Hoddle tipped Campbell of getting an England call up after we beat Man City and it didn't seem difficult for Campbell to get a call up after Bothroyd got called up after all.

Posters like Paul can twist things and spend their spare time digging through users posts because they have nothing better to do with their lives and posters like yourself can get manipulated into backing someone's opinion however wrong it is, but that's your choice.

Well I can garentee you one thing mate, we would have made a better go at it with him than we did under ole. With malky the side had work rate, spirit and unity - they were up for the scrap. All that left when he went.

The thread were he reckoned he got one right by the way was the Wales Vs Andorra guess the score. I reckoned we'd score 4/5 at home against them along with what 95% of the Welsh public I would have thought. Not exactly a debate and it's not as if I said anything that most people were expecting either.

wants to dish it out when hes right but not accept it when hes wrong by the looks of it.


That spine of the England team and the nonsense over the Malaysian airplane are two of the funniest threads ever on here and hes responsible for the two of them

Bellamy would/will flop.

How can you be sure?

Is it because you are always right as you keep reminding us?

It's called the failure phenomenon. Nearly every manager gets sacked eventually also most fans turn on the owners at some point.

Daya's modus operandi is too predict the negative and at some point (even 13 years later) he can claim to have been 'right all along'.

It's a simple boring and risk free system which unfortunately works.
