the bullying report will be looked at much harder by the press eager for a new story.. the parents will kick off and the club do not need it... Bellamy needs to have 2 years no incidents and produce at least 1 player...


Fair point, cant argue with that. Theres still maybe some work to do on his internal policeman!

That's why a caretaker role until seasons end is sensible, he gets a shot , meanwhile the board take their time in sounding out other candidates. If he can channel his enthusiasm, knowledge, Welshness, passion for the academy, attacking and creative nature and that much documented vocal side (which I am sure was trying to get the best out of his colleagues on the pitch) I just have this feeling he could be a very good manager . All those things are missing at CCFC.

I remember the post match interview after losing to Finland, how disappointed and annoyed he was with himself and his teammates. Almost one step ahead at times on the pitch for us, always talking to players, referees, a nightmare to play against. Kompany maybe helping him channel all that in the right areas. He was class when I saw him in the community, showed real passion for grass roots, chatting to parents and kids etc. Hes grown up, just like most of us, though we haven't done that in public. Give him a chance I say, if we don't I hope we don't regret it. There are no other alleged candidates that inspire me personally.

People say we should be following the Burnley philosophy but we should be following the Leicester one

Harris will be 2 steps backward

This is a huge decision at a crucial time it needs to be correct.

Give Bamba the reigns for a month whilst a replacement is found

Easiest thing in the world to spend someone else's money. Unfortunately, we know what Tan's plans are unless he has changed his mind, and throwing loads more cash at the club is not really part of his plans.


Tan will be criticised by some whatever he does.

Thankfully it seems like he has our best interests in mind lately.


Agree 100%,these fans don't realise what side of the bread is buttered,the man has bank rolled us millions of his wealth,which without,we'd have been screwed. :roll: and still some want to try to buy instant success, not with their money I may add,I would prefer us to be a stable,well run club,over a club spending stupid money (fulham,and to an extent villa so far)to end up financially screwed a few seasons later. :ayatollah: :old: :bluebird:

I agree with you. I believe Craig Bellamy will be a very good manager and how frustrating if it's somewhere other than Cardiff City. Your personal experience of seeing him in action doesn't surprise me. I'm sure I heard long ago that he's one of those individuals who eats, sleeps and dreams football.
As far as the bullying goes I am always wary of these stories. What previous generations would have regarded as a good telling off can now be interpreted by some as unacceptable. If the press and the parents drag up the stories so be it. Once Bellamy's Cardiff City start pulling up trees it will soon be forgotten.

Bellers did come back to help cardiff out dropping down a division for a few seasons and his commitment to wales was far better than giggs and is the same era as Lampard and gerrard
