Bellamy

[Tuerto]

Re: Bellamy

Tuerto, you know football, I know you do, watching those two teams today on times was like watching a game from about 1978, it was like The Big Match Revisited.

It was worse than that! i share your frustration, although i don't think that Bellamy is the answer.

Craig is off work with depression

He needs time to recuperate

It’s a non starter

Re: Bellamy

I'd take Bellamy. Just look at the state of the atmosphere at the ground. The football has been dirge for years, nobody, fans included, give a shit.

It's make or break. Let's be honest- we aren't going to get a good young manager with no baggage because we are a basket case with terrible senior management. That leaves the "destroy and exit" candidates- we've had the main ones already but I suppose the threat of Tony pulis still hangs over us; or some sort of club legend who will shoot his shot and it may work. Bellamy is the obvious candidate from that second population and I don't think anyone can face another has-been English manager.

Or of course it could be another Russell Slade.

If they announce Bellamy, I'll be happy.

Re: Bellamy

Bellamy played for 10 different clubs including loans and never played 100 games for any of them. He didn't even play 50 for most of them. His coaching record is equally as patchy. I've got nothing against him and I think he has something to offer. But right now, he's in not in a position to manage a club like Cardiff City. The board has allowed things to get so bad, that we're almost in Fat Sam (or Championship equivalent thereof) territory. We're three points adrift of 20th place two points above the relegation places and six points behind Swansea who we were level with this time last week. Desperate times. The board have played themselves into the position of having to make a safe bet.

I would have Craig Bellamy in a flash , for all the reason Steve (Splott Parker )has mentioned.

He is passionate , knowledgeable , has a decent track record with our under 18s , was promoted to assistant coach at Anderlecht by Vincent Kompany after doing a decent job with their youngsters. I reckon Vincent Kompany knows a thing or two about football.
He should have had the job when MM (safe hands) was given it . He would with time, revamp the club from top to bottom.

Of course , when you are 3 points above the relegation spots , there isnt a great deal of time.


A safe pair of hands FFS oh I know , someone like Mick McCarthy ............................or Neil Harris ?

This.
Firstly there’s no way he’d take the job now.
Secondly it would be a disaster. No one in the state of mind he’s been in for the past few years would be able to handle the intense pressure of the job.
Thirdly, why always Bellamy, he talks a good game, but why him over all the other candidates out there.

There are better, more professional, calmer, more composed, mentally stronger characters out there with just as much, if not more football knowledge, who don’t come with a huge warning

Re: Bellamy

I like him..but many on here think he's a hot head..maybe that's what we need to put some fire back in the dragon.
One thing for sure the players would respect him....or else!

Or else what ?

Anderlecht themselves not doing very well at the moment- mid table and below Tan’s other team Kortrijk

Maybe Kompany himself will be available soon !

He might know a lot about football, but clearly bot do good in judging personality as Bellamy left a few weeks after becoming assistant. A gamble then that failed for him.

Bellamy has got so much to deal with in his head that a job like this would only end up going one way. Deep down I think we all know that

It was late and I should have checked on their position. Obviously Bellamy wasn't able to influence Kompany enough.
I haven't seen him since he got back but believe he is fine. Other issues perhaps.

After the boring managers and football we have had over the last 10 years or so I would love to take a chance on someone
who is less than perfect shall we say ? He certainly talks a good game . Handy if you want to be a manager.
Craig may be fiery but half the stuff written abut him and posted on here is rubbish .
Warnock threw him under the bus for the complaint by a disgruntled parent . Warnock saw him as a threat ....
He was about to be cleared when he left Cardiff .

Not only do we need to win games , we need to introduce some style.

I would be willing to drop down a league if I could see an improvement in style and direction for the whole club.
The runanway bus might drop down a league and disappear if we dont get a decent leader at the wheel.

Name a few Tim.

Someone wrote a compelling post for the Blackpool manager .
Now he must be some manager, Gary Madine either scored, or had a hand in their second goal yesterday .

He punched it in did he?

The Blackpool manager was a good shout, but why on earth would he come here? In fact, given some of the off field stuff which emerged yesterday, we may have to set our sights quite a bit lower than anticipated when it comes to the new manager.

Re: Bellamy

Alternatively, why not give him the DOF role to transition us to a Brentford style run club.

Gives him a chance to sort his head/ issues out.

He knows most of the coaches and kids and can still work on the training pitch when needed.

Get in an up and coming progressive manager who already fits the style we all want to see!

Start getting the players ready to storm league one ( like Norwich did when they came down to bounce straight back up with a strong squad ), although I believe we do have the ability in the squad to easily stay up with better coaching and a more focused style of play.

This is the perfect time to tear up the dinosaur play book and try something new, once the players are allowed to pass the ball we may find out how good or bad they really are.

What credentials or skills has Bellamy got to be a good DOF?
