Redknapp today is like Britain after the Suez crisis.
Desperately trying to come to terms with the loss of a status that actually is long gone, unable to come to terms with the fact it has really happened, and the old glory days aren't coming back - stuck in the second division, mooking around trying to persuade the players he bought for Portsmouth (with money they didn't have) to join him again for the fifth time, with the slow realisation that pretty much nobody gives one tenth of one single fuck about QPR now they've stopped being money spunking clowns.
