Waching daily Jan 1 2019

 Craig Bellamy was an excellent footballer but he was also extremely volatile.  The retired Welsh forward - who played for a host of big clubs during his 18-year career, including Liverpool and Manchester City - was involved in a string of high-profile bust-ups with opponents and teammates

 Arguably the most famous incident occurred in 2007, shortly before a Champions League fixture between Liverpool and Barcelona

 The fiery Welshman attacked John Arne Riise with a golf club after the Norwegian defender refused to take part in a karaoke competition on a night out

 Bellamy went on to score at the Camp Nou and famously celebrated by swinging a pretend golf club

 Now 39, it appeared that Bellamy had calmed down and was no longer the same explosive character

 He's impressed in his role as a pundit over the past couple of years and has also been working with Cardiff City's Under-18s in the hope of one day becoming a first-team manager somewhere

 However, concerning details about Bellamy's alleged behaviour have emerged, and the former Premier League star now finds himself in hot water as a result

 The Daily Mail understand that Bellamy has been accused of 'bullying and intimidating' a young English footballer with xenophobic behaviour in his role as U18s head coach at the Cardiff City Stadium

 Chairman Mehmet Dalman and chief executive Ken Choo are currently examining the details of an official complaint submitted to them

 Bellamy is accused of repeatedly making 'anti-English gestures or remarks', including using the insult 'English *****'

 It's also claimed he turned off the sound when God Save The Queen was played as Cardiff's youngsters watched the 2018 World Cup on television during a pre-season tour of Italy

 Another alleged incident saw Bellamy tell the players he hated Bristol City even more than Swansea because 'they're English'

 One English player in Bellamy's ranks, who hasn't even turned 18 yet, reportedly felt 'intimidated and alienated' by the alleged comments

 The Mail add that Bellamy's manner is often aggressive, while his mood swings have made the English youngster 'uncomfortable and nervous', especially when the coach joins in training sessions

 The lad in question reportedly no longer wants to be coached by Bellamy and is now training at another club

 It's also claimed that other players and staff members also have concerns about Bellamy's behaviour

 One senior academy boss is understood to be 'terrified' of the former striker, who some at the club believe could become the Bluebirds' next head coach, and are reluctant to challenge him as a result

 If these allegations prove to be true, then Bellamy's chances of becoming a manager in the Premier League or Football League are about to suffer a potentially fatal blow

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made big Man Utd mistake... this is what I've been told - expert - Duration: 4:12.

 In his first press conference as boss, Solskjaer revealed he had spoken to legend Sir Alex Ferguson about taking charge at Manchester United

 But while the admission may have gone down well with United fans, McGarry says it would have been exactly what the owners - the Glazers - didn't want to hear

 He has been told the Glazers wanted more control of the club and sought to get exactly that when Fergie retired

**PREDICT FIVE RESULTS AND WIN £25,000 - FREE TO PLAY HERE** "In his press conference Solskjaer said he spoke to Sir Alex Ferguson," McGarry told the Transfer Window podcast

  "What I've been told - and what I firmly believe - is that in negotiating Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, the Glazers wanted more influence in the football department than they have had because Sir Alex Ferguson ran everything

 "Therefore, in conceding to allow him to choose his successor i.e. David Moyes, they in effect said 'right, okay, we'll allow you this gift, if you like, in choosing the successor'

 "Therefore from that point forward, they tried to and have had more influence in the football department than perhaps the managers would have liked

 "When Solksjaer has turned up on day one and said 'of course I've spoken to the boss, he's the most influential person in my life' I'm thinking 'yeah, you won't get the job full-time mate, because you're too tight with Sir Alex and you've admitted it, and even though you've got a couple of nice results, that's not going to happen'

 "I believe that Solksjaer made a mistake in admitting that. Whether that gains him credibility with the Manchester United fans and anyone else, that's fine, but it's not going to get him credibility with Avram Glazer, who was in the directors' box at Old Trafford for the win over Huddersfield

 "They want to - and feel they should - have more control." Solksjaer has won his first three games as caretaker boss but Mauricio Pochettino is the man United chiefs want to take the club to the next level

 "With regards to Solskjaer going forward, there's definitely an argument to make that he will have to make a choice whether he continues to take advice and counsel from Sir Alex Ferguson, or whether he's his own man, and says to Ed Woodward and the Glazers, 'okay, let's work out how this is going to go forward'," McGarry added

 "It's an interesting one for the next four or five months in regards to how Manchester United pans out

 "I still believe they want to appoint someone who is not Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to the manager's position for some of the reasons I've just mentioned

 "Also, should Solskjaer do well, it's true that it will make it somewhat more complicated
