People generally get a feeling when something isn't right. I can't believe that Redknapp didn't have the 'this is wrong' moment when he was signing some of the players on the wages begin paid. He may not have signed the cheques, but imo any manager has a responsibility to question the chairman when stupid figures are being paid, especially in the post Leeds United era "where is the money comng from and can we sustain this long term?" Would be my question. and when answered "our rich owner and of course we can" ?

got money on a greek game this afternoon. just kicked off kavala V levadiakos. betfair gives the line ups. guess who shows up for the away team......none other than nacho "100% attendance" gonzalez.

It's about time you change tbh, I still haven't got the hang of the crazy 4/6 s*** you guys do, especially when doing accumulators. took me ages to get the hang of deciaml odds. most betting sites that use them let you hang the cursor over them and it shows the fractional equivilent.

Very true, but the hatred for Redknapp on here will not allow for sensible thinking like that. I for one think he should be jailed; even if its just for being an ugly c***, there's at least several custodial years there the state of his face. still could be jailed (highly unlikely though) as i think he is still being investigated by the tax people on personal tax issues.

Macca888 How many times have man utd done that. we've thought they were finished but then a year later come back twice as strong ? true some of the recent signings don't seem to fit (nani,anderson,valencia,berbatov),they'll get back to basics and normal service will be resumed......unfortunatly. and chelsea will win the prem this season.

hope he does but don't think he will. remember those injuries aren't as bad as man utd's defensive injury woes and that was from a massive squad, arsenals were brought about by having so small a squad. i doubt wenger will change (and i hope he doesn't) and i see fabregas in spain in 2 years.

i used to think that till his insistence he didn't need to spend last season when everyone involved with arsenal, including himself were saying there was cash to spend. he seems to want to create a league winning team from his nouse....it wont happen.

aye, but where as we can blame souness for wasting a good bit of money (and i'm not including owen there as at that time i didn't see it as a waste) pompey shouldn't blame harry for being allowed to build a decent squad on tick.

i don't think the budget thing is real in that i doubt many managers are told "we have 30mill to spend". signings are a business decision and that means wages and 'extras' aswell as the headline grabbing fee. once the CEO thinks they are spent up but a bargain is identified that is a good business decision (player at the end of contract who'd be worth a lot more under contract,player who will merchandise well etc) then they will try whatever they can to find the cash to get them.

well it is but is that the managers fault ?...surely it's the CEO or whoever was in charge there to say "we can't afford this".

not at a time when it's obvious he'll not take risks financially. also i doubt we'd get a viera as much as a player having a pay day and not doing what he's supposed to.

why harry ?

Didn't really need to reply to them because your first post makes a lot of sense, probably too much sense for some. Although, you have made some really good points again with this post. and yet shankly never had any qualifications, nor clough. in quite a few walks of life doing it is the qualification...like being a footballer for example. i wonder if anyone noticed the difference in roeders management before and after gaining his qualification ? seems strange that since the qualifications came in the standard seems to have gone down and we have have a group of identikit managers.

Well that was s****, 2 seconds of f*** all. thats him time here described...what did the report say ?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6975878.ece wonder if strachan will convince him that teeside is closer to glasgow than tyneside ?

£20 on partick at 1.64. they score. lay odds drop to 1.16. lay to £20. win at least £9.60 and can't lose a penny regardless what happens.

and if anyone should know...he would.

not based on performances.

seen her better.......much better

she a maori ?

she's fit aswell and i'm not on facebook.

what does he mean when he says "I miss my family dearly, but I haven’t been home for three months and that’s because I feel so comfortable." are we talking family as in parents etc cos lets face it we all dio that...or wife ?

To do that you'd have to write something worth reading. i wonder if phil k reads sci fi ?

don't laugh at spurs..a while ago it was us. the top clubs wont do it, its a threat and nothing more that the authorities bow to. i know it happens in spain (barce, real allowed to stretch the rules) and in italy.....i wonder if it similar in germany ?

no...old and he had a poor second season. leads me to think he'd past it. very pleased to think we had his last good season the season before
