Here's a recent Bellamy interview with Gary Neville (starts at around 4:30), seems like he has matured a bit and takes a lot of responsibility for his past behaviour. He sees a psychologist weekly as well and this has helped him understand why he reacts to things a bit more Think it's reasonable to suggest that maybe he has moved past that hot head phase that many remember him for www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXoqgry7YVE&ab_channel=TheOverlap Better financial security on offer at Burnley the apparent reason. But its not so much about that or indeed the prospects on offer at Como. Its the realisation that the Welsh job is a hiding to nothing given the current strength of the players available. Worst I've known. That's a massive shame. Osian or Bellamy were probably the main fan choices. Anyone else getting a bit worried about who we're going to end up with here? Matty Jones from the u21's is going to be promoted isn't he! |

Personally I think we should try Giggs out. Sure there'd be a lot of noise but we'd just have to tough it out, after all according to the law he's an innocent man. If we can get passed that, then on the football front I think he's well placed to get the best out of our limited resources. He may thrive at the chance to rehabilitate himself in football front. His personal life does seem more settled currently.

He cost us a lot of money last time paying him while his court case rumbled on. No chance

Its the realisation that the Welsh job is a hiding to nothing given the current strength of the players available. Worst I've known. Until he publicly turns it down I wouldn't believe that. Cardiff message boards not exactly the most info accurate of places. Loads of pretend insiders there |

With our current squad I don't think we can be demanding WC qualification. That's just setting ourselves up for failure. I'd like us to be competitive for the WC but won't expect qualification, and expect us to be strong for Euro 2028 Totally agree. Even if we're playing well, it's sort of a 50/50 shot whether we can get to the world cup or not. We'll almost always be relying on qualifying via the playoffs and then your quality of opposition and home seeding is out of your hands. I am not suggesting that it will be easy. I am not demanding anything. If we play well and do not qualify due to bad luck, I would be reasonable in my approach. But the criticality of North America qualification to Wales culturally should not be underestimated. I think we have to go into it with that mindset. We have a squad - even acknowledging problem areas (GK position and lack of midfield depth) - good enough to qualify for the Play Offs. Welsh Sport would have been a very different landscape in the 80s and 90s had we qualified for Mexico 86. North America 26 qualification should not be written off as some transition to aiming for Euro 28. |

Shame about Osian's decision and probably Bellamy too. No idea who it'll be now, the wait goes on. May be it's not as attractive a proposition as it was say 4/5 yrs ago. Just hope they make the right decision, and we stop the slide down the rankings.

Giggs is obviously a wrong un but I'd employ the reincarnation of pol pot if he could guarantee us qualification to the 26 world cup,as long as he kept the genocide to a minimum obviously,it's only football after all.

Just hope they make the right decision, and we stop the slide down the rankings. Are we not an attractive proposition? Maybe the salary we can offer isn't on par with a club job but I think we have a decent enough team that certainly has the potential to be coached to improve. Expectations shouldn't be too crazy and we seem to like handing out long contracts so there is an element of job security there. |

I think we're attractive in that we put managers, coaches and support staff in a positive spotlight and ready to be stolen by others.
Fail here and there are ready made excuses at next interview, succeed here and it opens doors to clubs in Europe, in Championship and positions either with England (dim diolch) or ambitious sides in Premier League.

If the FAW carries on sacking people ... we might just about be able to afford promoting Gunts to full-time management ...

Obviously have no idea if Bellamy has already turned us down or whatever but looks like Scott Parker is getting the Burnley job so whether he wants his own team or keep Bellamy on, I guess we’ll find out soon enough

So I wouldn't trust the accuracy of the information coming out of there at all Given Parker is getting the Burnley job I think the stars are aligning for Bellamy to get the job. Got to be the leading candidate now |

It's come from the less reliable of the 2 messageboards, which is saying something

Scott Parker is expected to be Burnley manager? He complained about Bournemouth's transfer policy but stayed in the premier league and progressed without him, then he went to Club Brugge and didn't do much.
It's been a rocky time for him lately. Disappointing if Bellamy isn't picked over him there, but maybe good for us?

If Bellamy is not named Welsh manager by the end of this week then I’d say the FAW got another name.

It's going to be Henry, isn't it, you just know it. If that happens we might as well already write off the next four years.

IF the FAW are not considering the views of the fanbase in this matter they are badly mistaken, Henry would be a disaster.

Just seen rumours of Graham Potter being interested in the South Korea Manager vacancy. If he's open to international football management... But realistically, they're probably offering 3 or 4 times what we are

A mate I go to the football with went to school with and is still mates with one of Scott Parker's backroom staff. If I'm remembering right I think there were a few of them either sacked or walked away when Parker left Bournemouth and have been waiting in the wings for him to get his next job. If he gets the Burnley job then I would assume there won't be a place for Bellamy there.

Player with each other at West Ham as well so are probably mates. |

Please can we not be one of those groups who demand the manager makes us feel happy before we give them a chance? The choice is probably going to be a complete surprise (like a Gemma Grainger/Rhian Wilkinson) a manager in their first big role, a manager trying to recover their reputation after a shaky start or an older head who believes they can do the necessary job for us. Whoever it is, they will likely need us to meet them halfway because vast majority responding to the poll in this thread wanted someone unavailable. |

It would be strange for him to leave a Championship side for Cymru, unless he's still on league one wages. Although this seems a bit left field, if we were to appoint him it would be for the right reasons.
