I agree, I do like him, but a Managers job?

Great player and potential coach, but I could see and explosive time for whoever gives him a Managers job, could he man-manage the modern day pro footballer, I can't see it at all?

That would be the dream team for me but can’t see that happening unfortunately.

One with no management experience and an assistant manager with a pretty good assistant manager/coach CV !! Depends on how you want to spin it !!

Take Bellers now or we end up regretting it like we did with Tosh.

He will be great, great manager.

Ok fair enough.

This time without spin. One untried but knowledgeable ex player with a questionable attitude. One assistant manager that was instrumental in an I fancied team over achieving in a massive tournament.

Bellamy is certainly the risk but with an experienced, steady hand alongside him hopefully the risk is reduced to a level that it’s worth taking.

I still think it will be Harris but I’d rather the above option, Hughton or even Bowyer before him.

Given the recent enquiry I just cant see Bellamy being employed by the club anytime soon.

Re: ‘ Craig Bellamy ‘

Nobody knows for sure how any manager is going to get on , but I’m sad to say that my bet would be that Bellamy would be a car crash here.

Goldfish bowl with so many skeletons in his closet and people he’s fallen out with.

Still unsure about his temperament- I reckon he’d be better off starting somewhere else.

Re: ‘ Craig Bellamy ‘

You’re saying if he walked the walk with us, he’d be skatin on thin ice...like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Re: ‘ Craig Bellamy ‘

If he does get the job, I hope it's only until the end of the season.

Then we can see how he gets on and whether it's worth extending his contract.

Whereas, if we brought in someone like Harris, Hughton or Flynn, I expect they'd be given a longer term contract.

Bellamy with a great assistant is by far more appealing than neil harris

I'd love Bellamy to be given a crack. He inspires me more than the others on the list

Harris got Millwall promoted on low budget and kept them in championship with smallest budget plus 3 trips to Wembley.

Bowyer got Charlton to the play off final again on a small budget.

I believe Houghton has 2 promotions to the premier league countless manager of the month awards.

Craig Bellamy has no managerial experience, none, has had issues at every club he's been at including us and you say he inspires you more than the 3 listed above????

Don’t write Bells name off just yet.


Well if that's Dalman - maybe he could explain his choice of OGS - To Tan !!!

Let's move on ... was told today that Bellers is due back in Cardiff this weekend,not sure how true that is but i do work in his neck of the woods and was told by a local ;)
