No Rovers return for Bellamy

CRAIG BELLAMY will not return to Blackburn Rovers – no matter how much Sam Allardyce might like that to happen.

Bellamy is on the verge of a move away from Manchester City with Cardiff City favourites to sign the Welsh forward but Allardyce suspects Spurs will have a say in the player’s future.

“There are too many bigger clubs chasing Craig,” Allardyce said yesterday. “Particularly Harry (Redknapp) at Tottenham who I know is a big fan of Craig’s. Unless Man City try and block that because of them being competitors, I think Craig will end up going to Spurs instead of returning to Blackburn where he was very successful.
