Liverpool attacker Craig Bellamy insists winning the Carling Cup doesn't guarantee more success.

Much has been made of the effect of bringing some silverware back to Anfield and how it can provide a springboard for more trophies, but Bellamy has stressed there is no guarantee it will happen.

"We will have to wait and see on that. Some thought Birmingham's (Carling Cup victory) last year was a platform for that and it certainly wasn't," said the 32-year-old, referring to the Blues' relegation from the top flight.
