EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY OLIVER HOLT: Bellamy loved everything about Anderlecht, but knew himself well enough to realise that dislocation from his family was starting to tear him apart.
Long interview from 9 October, but towards the end:
So what now? ‘I need to take a break,’ he says. ‘I need to spend time around people I haven’t spent time around. I tell players to put family first and I have to lead by example. Because I wasn’t. Do I see my life without football? No. But I have more important issues to address. For me to be at peace, I need to take a little while away.
‘I’m not putting a time limit on that. I can feel the urge to go back. I wake up every morning. I miss the training buzz. I miss the smell of the grass, I miss setting up pitches, designing the session, building towards the game. I had all that. But I made the right decision to leave.

Sounds like he wants to be home with his family ( kids ) and still enjoy what he does in football, what better way to do that than manage a club just down the road :thumbup: Come on Home Craig, lets get on another rollercoaster
Craig has high standards, problem is that not everyone can be as intense as he is, and maybe he needs to understand that before he jumps in to management. Maybe he's learnt something in Belgium.
