Steady on. It's the FAW. There's no guarantee of free travel.

This.

Now I can see why Page was so disappointed to lose such a cushy job!

He has no meaningful managerial experience and he has a reputation for being quixotic and what are described these days as 'ongoing 'issues', which I won't qualify as he has enough on his plate.
I wish him all the best but I think it's a matter of travelling in hope rather than expectation. I do hope that being the player he was, he will encourage our young guns to attack at pace though.

Pep's experience
2007–2008 Barcelona B
2008–2012 Barcelona
2013–2016 Bayern Munich
2016– Manchester City
Not a lot before going into one of the biggest clubs in football.
Mikel Arteta was only an assistant to Pep before getting the Arsenal job.
There are probably other examples out there

Maybe so but I still think it a risk in Bellamy's case, particularly considering his temperament and documented problems.

Has his temperament and documented problems been an issue at Burnley or Anderlecht?

He stepped down at Anderlecht due to personal problems, didn't he?
Anyway, I sincerely want him to succeed and admire his honesty in his autobiography regarding many matters. It was far from being an airbrushed account of his career. And his philanthropy in several areas is hugely laudable.

It did get me thinking though, when he was talking about the importance of attitude, culture and being fair etc.
If he did bully those kids in a bad way, they would feel like absolute shit hearing the manager of Wales talk like that afterwards.

I geniunely don't know thats why I asked as someone usually knows the answer on here.
I will purchase that book, last football one I read was Carlo Ancelotti. Decent if you are into that kind of thing.

It's well worth a read and he tells of his profound self-doubt and more.

Sounds like he could possibly be a loss, but reading between the lines it hopefully points to Bellamy concentrating on youth and bringing them through.
