Craig Bellamy is now considering Oxford United Job as manager.
Craig Bellamy next jobs odds
Oxford United - 8/13
Bradford City - 20/1
My Opinion:
Bradford are a massive club in the lower divisions and this would be an amazing job
Bradford average over 20,000 fans at home in League 1 (Div3) and take 1,500 fans away
But with No experience as a manager and Bradford fans now expecting/demanding promotion, this might just be to big a job as his first job in management.
I know Bellamy well, straight talking,demands a lot and a winner

but No experience, maybe just to big a club for him Bradford City.
Bellamy is very very passionate regarding football.
Craig Bellamy keen on Bradford role?
Cardiff City legend (and current youth guru) Craig Bellamy is interested in taking on the vacant manager’s job at Bradford City, according to reports.
The Telegraph and Argus report that Bellamy and Manchester United legend Paul Ince are both keen on replacing Stuart McCall, who was recently sacked by the Valley Parade club.
Bellamy had been very close to landing the Wales job which, of course, went to Ince’s old United teammate Ryan Giggs.
An interesting one, this.

Bradford City: Former international duo interested in replacing Stuart McCall

CRAIG Bellamy and Paul Ince have both expressed an interest in the Valley Parade vacancy, the Telegraph & Argus understands.
Bellamy is hungry for a first stab at senior management and was in a four-man shortlist to succeed Chris Coleman as Wales boss last month.
The 38-year-old Welshman, capped 78 times by his country, missed out to former team-mate Ryan Giggs but interviewed very well with his ideas.
The former Liverpool, Man City and Blackburn striker retired from playing in 2014 at Cardiff, where he is now the player development manager working with the club's academy.

There’s a lot of “big” clubs in that division now. Wigan, Blackburn, Charlton, Portsmouth have all been in the Premier League in recent years.
Could be the right move for him. People make consider them a big club, but they’re still a third-tier club - and haven’t been above that level for a while now.

Paul Whitehead: If he’s willing to be a head coach, rather than a manager, then he may be considered by the boardroom?
Paul Whitehead: Our Owner Rahic has a say in the selection and transfers. Would Bellamy stomach that?

Paul Whitehead: I’m not necessarily saying that Rahic should stick to signing cheques, but it takes some getting used to and if you’re a manager you want to be in firing line for the decisions you make, not for someone else’s.

No way he will be taken by Bradford looking at the experienced managers in the frame for a lower league club.
I hope he does get a posting somewhere though to gain him some insight before he becomes City's new manager after NW goes.

He has been a very bad boy at times in his career. Our owners won't want anyone who answers back. I don't see him as a starter really.
