Good point, the teams around us such as Villa, City, and Spurs have shown some real improvement since last season (albeit Spurs only recently, and after a very good managerial coup). The bar has been raised. If we want to keep up with these teams then I think we need to show similar ambition in this next appointment. BTW, Mandaric on the BBC website has tipped Harry to take the job

Not sure how I'd feel about this, what kind of experience does he have of top flight football? I'm aware that he brought Juventus back into Serie A but he left to be replaced by Ranieri didn't he? To be fair, my nan could have taken Juve back into Serie A. Good point, particularly with the squad they had at the time!

Taking Monaco to a champions league final not "top flight" enough for you? Many thanks, I wasn't quite sure of his CV.

I still cannot believe that we are actually discussing the very real possibility of Harry bleeding Redknapp becoming our manager! This is a man who has achieved relatively little in his management career and seems, in my opinion at least, to have been somewhat inconsistent. Portsmouth have only recently developed a reputation for playing decent football, and to hire him on this basis seems absurd. By the way, can anyone recall the type of football played during his West Ham days?
