He'd try and turn us into that crock of shite that is the Republic of Ireland team.
The way I see it is that an international manager gets a very limited amount of time to work with a team. Many managers are not coaches. He has them for barely two weeks every couple of months and his job primarily is to get the players to want to turn up and to motivate them and get the best out of the group. One of the things that Tony Pulis is often praised for is his man management skills. I’d want him in for that. The coaching staff can do the work on the training ground and I think it would be perfect if we also brought Bellamy into the coaching set up, especially if he could combine that with his work with the City under 18s.
