Ridiculous assessment of Bellamy.MCFC BOB said:Bellamy in poor/useless? What?The Pink Panther said:de niro said:yeh he bought so poorly didn't he.
Poor/useless - Bridge, Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Ben Haim
Benefit of the doubt on SWP and Adebayor
Came good - Vincent, NDJ, Lescott, Zabba
Needed - Given
There's £140 million spent on players there. The four good ones are still with us and when we sell Ade and Santa Cruz this summer we will probably have recouped £25-£30 million gross................ obviously

Your opinion of Mancini, unless I'm going crazy, was once very negative and you were convinced he wouldn't win us trophies.de niro said:agreed, no way could hughes attract silva and co, said it many times. i have never "dismissed" mancini but nor will i dismiss sparky. they both played a part in where we are now.

your memory is correct, De Niro was once a rather large ctitic of Mancini but he has it seems changed his mind, although his fondness for hughes(sparky urghh) seems to still be there

Surprised nobody else picked up on that. Bellamy played his best football at us.

you have the wrong guy, i was negative about him being negative, which he was, in fact pathetically so. i have never said he'd not win us out, in fact i went to a fans forum and put him straight :) once he'd got a grasp of the prem he's been outstanding.

It's how good managers work. Build from the back.

9 times out of 10 maybe, we did it at hull ffs, and we got turned over. we all headed over there with aspring in our step, stopped on the tops for a bite to eat and everything was great, then we lose to the shittiest team in the prem. horrible day.

Good managers also realise that success isn't measured in games but in years.
Bobby did what he needed to do at the time. Unfortunately we often don't know things just as the feeling in the dressing room at the time, nor the fitness of the players or anything else.
As he did the exact same progression at Inter and Lazio, I'm presuming that his conservatism in his first season is deliberate. It makes sense as a strategy.
