I didn’t call Bellamy amateurish, he had nothing to do with the decision which saw us unable to field the under 21 team we wanted to for a game which decided whether we could proceed further in the under 21 Euros. Also, although I may be wrong here, i don’t see him having a leading role in selecting Canada and England as friendly opponents when we’re going to be in the toughest group for the next Europa League - I think it’s naive in the extreme to select friendly opposition that was likely to make our route through the Play Offs tougher than it needed to have been.
