Harry Redknapp

New England manager? I think the question is when not if. As soon as Spurs are out of the champions league he'll be interested. Yes or no?

I don't think he'd be daft enough for that poisoned chalice.

That'll after the qualifing round then.

I'd vote for him. Squeaky clean doesn't win you anything anymore. Maradona, completely mad, but probably Argentina are the favourites now?

I reckon he'll be there before the European qualifying starts, but then what do I know

Who would want to manage a team who cannot pass a ball to feet?

if dodgyness is no longer an issue, then bring back El Tel.....

I thought the point of Harry Redknap was to spend loads of money on alright players, then move elsewhere, leaving a trail of financial destruction behind him?

The manager may as well be the Lord Jesus Christ, Ghandi, General Montgomery or even my dear old mum...until we have players that are comfortable and confident in possession it's not going to make much difference.

I'm not even sure that's the problem. When they're pulling in £40k a week from their clubs, why would they give a toss about playing for their country?

In a couple of months, they will all be back in the premiership, being cheered by the same fans that were booing them tonight....

Someone that gets players playing with a bit of freedom rather than emphasising hard work and pressing the opposition. Redknapp would have been ideal - I said so at the time we appointed Capello.

He won't take it. There is no way for him to get little brown envelopes from any transfer deals

Aside from that, he manages the club he supports, has a board that fully supports him, the fans love him and he has said publicly that he wants a new contract. Why would he give that up for a part time job where the fans are even more deluded than us Spurs fans? :P

Mine too. He has international experience and has just turned a failing Fulham team around. England could do with someone able to turn a failing team around.

You 'Yids' are either bigger mugs than I thought or he's moved again.

Redknapp is a a true Londoner born and bred and his broad London accent can be heard on radio and TV interviews. He was born in Poplar, London and was an avid Arsenal supporter from an early age - his father used to take him to Highbury on a weekly basis.[/i]


"I was a big Arsenal fan as a kid and I remember seeing him play against Tommy Docherty one night".[4] However, after being appointed Tottenham manager later that year he stressed his Tottenham connections as well, stating: "I am a big follower of the history of the game and Tottenham have been a great club over the years. I followed Tottenham, I trained there as an 11-year-old, 12-year-old so I know the history of the club. It is a big, big club."[

Aggieboy, I clearly said we were deluded. What more do you want?

The manager isn't the problem in Englands case.

I'm afraid the manager has to take a large proportion of the blame for England's recent performances since his tactics and desire to play players out of position isn't allowing his players to perform to the best of their ability. :twisted:

Well said that man. For some reason most of the deluded people in England think we have world class players. IMHO opinion we only have two - and Rooney and Gerrard would struggle to get in the Spanish team.

Although a good manager can produce a good team from average players - witness Slovenia for example. Although they won't win the World Cup. To do that you need a few world class players, a good manager and loads of luck.
