Bells told me in Bristol Airport that he was offered it, but turned the job down out of respect for Malky and did not want Tan as his boss.

I think he said that he'd have them all by this June.

Good timing?

Just after Slade hopefully has emptied his desk for the last time :thumbup:

Yeah just watched the clip - he's coming to the end of his pro licence soon.
Don't think he'll be our manager though come the summer.

He said he wasn't in a good place at that time. He also said out of respect for Cardiff he didn't think he could do the job justice.

When asked to name best manager he played under he named 6 managers. None if them Malky.

Re: ' Craig Bellamy Offered Cardiff City Job '

Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:44 pm

I'm sure it came out not long after that this was the case.

I'm sure that it was stated that Tan and Bellamy got on quite well and it was mostly Bellamy's input that got Dave JOnes sacked.

bellers has been out to meet tan a few times and I don't think
Tan would let bellers hang around the club doing his badges if they didn't get on

Wez I defo think he'd take it now. It was an intriguing interview this morning.

He said hes made the decision to take 2 years out and he won't away from that. 2 years is up in June he said.

He spoke really passionate about the kids at Cardiff and really wants to help the club.

He also spoke more football tactics in one interview than Slades talked in 15 months.

When asked what manager he will be he said big on discipline and professionalism. He said you come into work every day and try and be the best you possibly can then you will go a long way.

It was good stuff

He said they approached him to do the voluntary work with the kids. He loves it.

Rydo I will be gutted if he doesn't become involved with the club.

He also said he would only be willing to work as a number 2 if it's someone he respects and can learn off.

I dong know wether that was a swipe at Slade but it's going to be no.1 or not at all for City.

Re: ' Craig Bellamy Offered Cardiff City Job '

Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:59 pm

Maybe thats it,Slade in the job until Bellamy feels he's ready.

Re: ' Craig Bellamy Offered Cardiff City Job '

Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:59 pm

Probably the main reason that Slade won;t be sacked.

Just let his contract lapse and bring in Bellers in the summer.

I can't see him wanting to be a No2 No 1 most likely he is going to start with and hopefully with us in the summer. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Bellamy and Tan get on very well and i know for a fact he would accept the job now even with Tan there. :bluescarf:

Great interview and some funny quips in there, too!

Loved the John Arne Riise 'golf club' one!

Listening to this, I think Craig Bellamy would make an excellent manager...hopefully at the CCS! :thumbup: ;)

Gutted thought he was offered it after today.

Watching that interview this morning, I'm 100% convinced Bellamy will be out manager next season. :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :sladeout:

The main reason I think so is because he didn't mention Malky as one of the best managers he has worked with, when he previously has said that Malky was one of the best he has worked with = Saying the right things to Vincent Tan.. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I was told by a work colleague who attended a social event with Bellamy that he couldn't work for Tan.

Maybe he has been given some assurances about non interference from Tan that now makes it work for him.

The clearing of the decks of the lazy money grabbing players that Slade has been appointed to do whilst giving Bellamy time to get his badges certainly makes sense.
