Craig Bellamy fears for his future at Manchester City! Star at odds with boss Roberto Mancini
Craig Bellamy's fractious relationship with Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is threatening his future at the Barclays Premier League club. [LNB]The situation between Bellamy and his Italian manager is now so uneasy that the Wales forward has privately expressed a wish to leave Eastlands this summer if Mancini remains in charge. [LNB]Although Bellamy - one of City's best players this season - is an emotional character prone to explosive outbursts of frustration that he often reconsiders, it is understood that his frustration with life under Mancini is now pretty much constant.

[LNB]Initially Bellamy vowed publicly to make a go of things and hasgiven his all to City's push for the Champions League places. But, inthe weeks and months that have followed Mancini's appointment, thingshave got no better. [LNB]Sportsmail revealed recently that Bellamy was under investigation byCity for allegedly making comments in support of David Moyes in theplayers' tunnel after the Everton manager and Mancini clashed on thetouchline at Eastlands during a game. [LNB]Blue day: Bellamy is at odds with City boss Mancini [LNB][LNB]City were never able to prove that Bellamy made the comments and letthe matter rest. But it is understood that Mancini and the Welshstriker have spoken briefly about the issue and have subsequentlydeclared what has been described as an 'uneasy truce'. [LNB]Bellamy has continued to feature regularly in City's first team andfew could ever question his dedication and commitment to his club'scause. But it is no coincidence that the quality of Bellamy's footballhas dropped in recent weeks and some people at City now believe thatthe striker's relationship with Mancini cannot realistically beexpected to survive beyond the summer. [LNB]If City were to qualify for the Champions League next season,Bellamy would clearly face a huge decision about his future. As itstands now, however, he would seriously consider any offers heconsiders attractive, and would even consider a move abroad. [LNB]With Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp definitely interested inBellamy and his former City manager Hughes an enduring fan, Bellamy islikely to have some options this summer, even if he would have to takea pay cut on his £90,000-a-week wages.[LNB] It is understood that Bellamy remains unhappy with the way thatMancini arranges and conducts training sessions and has not always beenenamoured with the Italian's chosen style of football. [LNB] At odds: Bellamy confronted Gary Neville in the Manchester derby on Saturday[LNB][LNB]Last week Bellamy was seen ranting at City football administrator Brian Marwood at the club's Carrington training ground. [LNB]Bellamy had asked Marwood - with whom he has a decent relationship -for an advance on his wages and was, according to sources, merely'letting off steam' about an issue not actually connected to his lifeat the club. [LNB]Although the image of a £90,000-a-week footballer needing urgentcash is a rather startling one, it is understood that Bellamy wants themoney to settle a one-off, unexpected bill and the matter does notreflect any serious lifestyle issues.
