Maybe not, but in nearly 200 minutes of football, Allen took part in around 15 of those, it didn't quite go to plan, but his remit would have been to keep it simple, he didn't, although he built a career playing that way. I tend to agree with what you are saying, and maybe Bellamy was being a bit to clever for his own good, but it's not the daftest thing i've ever seen from a football manager.
