Genuine question: after everything that has happened, do you really think Tan would be willing to take such a risk? I don't.

Gerrard, Lampard, Bellamy, makes so much sense. He has to be the number one choice. Can’t understand city supporters not giving him the chance. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :banghead: :banghead:


Name a football club he's been at where he's not had issues.

Can't say how I know. Just trust me its true they have spoken to him lately three times .

I really hope it does not happen.


Why Not?? A Hungry Young Welsh Manager Ready To Prove Himself In The Championship And What Better Club than A Welsh Club In Cardiff, I Say Its A Great Opportunity For Flynn To Engage With Fans And Spearhead This Team Up The Table.

I Would Love Flynn As Our Manager, Because Everyone Else Is Just Too Similar To Eachother We Want A Local Manager And He Fits The Bill.

If Not Flynn Then Maybe David Wagner Who Gave Huddersfield Promotion To The Premier League.


Wagner a good shout, Flynn no. Pulis no. Ainswirth maybe. Mark Hughes maybe. Bellamy with Hughes? Yes please


I really don’t get the Bellamy obsession.


I understand that. However it’s my opinion he could be another Lampard/Gerrard I think he has all the attributes to be a good manager, 2 years ago I stood watching him in freezing rain playing 5 a side with schoolboys and girls in a Newport school. Quite frankly he was inspirational and motivational and just never stopped running and coaching. Just like he was On the pitch. And now with inside knowledge of European leagues. Also a passion for our floundering academy, and all things Welsh. A caretaker role until seasons end to give him a try would be a really good call.



4 months in Belgium being inside knowledge of European leagues is pushing it a little bit ?
nice story.....1st time I saw him he was being held by the scruff by a boy from Merthyr in south wales schoolboy game for being a dick...since ive witnessed him flick the canton....sit pouting alone on the team coach at Selhurst Park. being obnoxious for no good reason a few times..and getting constantly on the backs of young players..decs at old Trafford and Rambo for wales at the libertry...prize dickhead..he is local though..


Wow, some judgemental comments and name calling there! Those stories? all past tense. Even when he was a schoolboy! Dear me, people change, My personal experience was far more recent, post playing career, and he was impressive, very impressive. Again, And Kompany took him to Anderlecht.Why? Because of attrubutes , enthusiasm and potential. I have met so many famous sportsmen and entertainers in the flesh, impressive on record or on screen, but so many disappointed and matched your description of CB. I think he is going to be a good manager. I could be wrong, and if the bullying claims are true (I have heard close up and contrasting versions) then that’s something he absolutely must change. I won’t have that.

And no, I don’t think Tan will take the risk even in my preferred capacity as caretaker. Stop worrying Bellamy bashers, your safe!

Genuine answer - I think he knows so little about football and has so little affinity for the club that he may well do.

he needs a couple of years with no incident... called him a dick and a dick head..my opinion...the rest is on him.....loads of other incidents I haven't mentioned as I didn't see them but I think he covered them in his book and the piece in last weeks paper...seems to get blamed a lot when completely innocent.
have to say ive seen him be the perfect gent too....its just there is way too much bad and it outweighs the good...

Terrible decision if true.

Mates of mine who support Newport say Lennie Lawrence pulls the strings at that club! Imagine if Flynn came he would bring Lawrence and we’ve been there before!!!

Re: ‘ Sounds pathetic / but what I was told ‘

No surprise to me - mentioned this guy a few months ago on here as a manager who our club might look at .

Dont feel mike Flynn is what we need right now

Re: ‘ Sounds pathetic / but what I was told ‘

Give him a chance, and if he fucks up hang him out to dry, we ain't a charity club, let's get a manager with a proven record who maybe can get us to play football and push us up the table. Now it's time for the players to step up especially those who thought they were on the team sheet every week.

If this is true just another example of the club's lack of ambition. It would mean the club have given up on promotion and are happy with survival. Would give him a short contract til the end of the season.

I work in Newport. Massive County fan in work said the same. Said he’d love Flynn to go and would love the compo. Said Lennie and Hatswell pull all the strings.

One guy that seems to love Cardiff is Ian Holloway :o He’s another character of the game .
