He is perfect as a pundit , giving it large like lawrenson and Hansen
But wouldn't make a manager in a million years

Hands on heart, most of you would like him as a manager purely for the fact he was born in Cardiff.
Stick to being a pundit.
Aye , talks a good game , wouldn't have a clue to keep a dressing room

Cardiff job means too much to him for him to take it on and fail.
It's his home city club but he's a Liverpool fan ft sake , it doesn't mean that much to him !!

Who went to Cardiff games as a youngster and purposefully pushed through a move to his hometown club whilst in his prime so he could make a proper difference and worked for us for free. He can support both Liverpool & Cardiff, a lot of people do

And we've got such a tradition of appointing Cardiff City fans as manager haven't we.
I think Bellamy is one of those people who would either be brilliant or terrible as a manager - I tend to believe it would be the former, but I could well be wrong, what I do know is that he makes a very good pundit.

In his prime ?
He was injury prone and at the end of his career
As for supporting two clubs I find it bizarre , people can do what they want but that isn't going to stop me commenting on it

Bellamy came back to us when about 15 Premier League sides would have taken him, Liverpool had him the season after! I'd say that alone shows how much it means to him.

Listen we would all want to play like Man City - but some clubs wont be able to achieve that.
Some of us would love to come home and find our partner all dressed up . looking a million dollars and ready for action - whilst most come to find something nowhere near. So to put it bluntly - you make do with what you've got , especially if you are no oil painting .... :)
Man city punt it 60 yards too. It's just better when De Brunye or David Silva does it over our Sol Beckenbauer.

He was signed by Liverpool the season after and had scored 10 Premier League goals for Manchester City the season before ffs
From a BBC article just before he signed: "Fulham, now managed by Bellamy's hero Mark Hughes, have admitted they want to sign him, Celtic boss Neil Lennon says his club have spoken to Bellamy's agent while City's Champions League qualifying rivals Tottenham Hotspur also want the 59-times capped Welshman."
"Boss Dave Jones admitted on Friday that Bellamy's wage demands could be an issue but the Cardiff fan, who trained with Cardiff last season when recovering from injury, publicly admitted last week that signing for the Bluebirds is an ambition.
"I've always wanted to play for Cardiff," Bellamy told a news conference."

You believe all that do you ? I don't
Craig Bellamy didn't offer Cardiff city much which was no surprise as his knees had gone by the time he came to us

He scored 11 goals and performed well. We'd have been promoted that season if Dave Jones could actually manage a dressing room

He was ok but I am afraid people are far too entwined in this local hero comes home fantasy world
He came to us at the Twilight of his career , it showed

He wasn't Messi but he was still a very good player, I remember him making mugs of some Championship defenders

We will see.
Re: Comments from Craig Bellamy yesterday
The part about not being interested in the ball is spot on.
We could have actually played a bit and taken our time on Sunday. But it was the same old percentage game. Lots of headers and long balls. We did have more possession than usual though and in fact, I think it worked against us as we were not able to attack on the break.
Worked wonderfully though and I have no complaints.
