Personally, I’d be happy with Pulis, Jokanovic or Pearson (I would have said Bilic, but he’s just gone to China).

However, an excellent combination would be Mark Hughes, with Bellamy as his assistant.

Both have enormous respect for each other, from working together at Blackburn and Wales.

Regardless what some think of Hughes, he has done very well at the smaller clubs he’s managed.

Took Blackburn to a top six finish, Stoke to three ninth place Premier League finishes in a row, and kept up a Southampton side most had written off for relegation.

Throw in his international experience with Wales and with them both being Welsh, dream ticket.

They also both have the standing to command respect in the changing room, and to entice players to come here.

Bellamy could learn the ropes off Hughes, and if and when the time was right, succeed him and Hughes move upstairs to become a Director of Football.
