NE5 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 It has just occurred to me who Sky's source is - how could we have missed this one.... ...Jamie Redknapp does he have Alan Olivers phone number Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think it's pretty clear that he'll be backed, I personally see this as the most sensible thing to do in these circumstance, unlike Allardyce he needs to be able to implement his style on the club and the best way to do this would be to sign the players he wants. It would be extremely difficult for him to try and enforce his style on players which arent his signings and so arent moulded to hs fashoin. From what i read, Allardyce was unwilling to change his style and with this transfer window in full flow was looking for signings which would reinforce his style which isnt the route that Ashley and Co wanted to go. If Redknapp comes in and is backed when it is imperative for him to be backed then i will be fully behind his appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedudeabides Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Seriously underwhelmed by Rednapp, would rather have had Coppell or Hughes if we had to appoint from the Premiership. Is this really the height of our ambitions nowadays? Shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordie Racer Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Redknapp is a mercenary who has never won anything. Not the kind of appointment to rejuvenate the club and inspire the fans and players. Here we go again.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I really hope talk of 4 year contracts are a load of bollocks like, no way he'd see out that. Going to end up getting 4 years wages for one or two years work like all our unremarkable managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still dont think that Allardyce should of got too much backing because he didnt get anyhting out of anyof his signings from the summer. Redknapp or any other manager need to be able to manage a squad which they can call there own the only way to do this is to have there own signings at the club. So not quite a u-turn, just a sensible analysis of the current situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 As this looks like only becoming a: "it is a u-turn" .vs. "no it isn't" battle, with nowt interesting about it, how about the pair of you just leave it and let people make up their own minds? To add to that: it is a bit of a u-turn, from what I've seen, but there is no law about people changing their opinions once more evidence comes to light, etc. It's gray again, as usual, not black or white. But like I've said already, like many I tend to refrain from reading quote pyramids, so I could be wrong. There are more important things afoot than vendettas though, fortunately.

It's a huge u-turn mate, pure and simple. If you dont understand what a u turn is mate then thats your problem. A u-turn would be me saying Allardyce he needed to be back this January, i.e contrary what ive said previously. What im saying is actually different in the sense that a new manager always needs to make new signings, like Allardyce needed to make signings in the summer. The circumstances have changes now. Saying Redknapp needs backing this Januray is not the same as me saying Allardyce needs backing this January, can you see the difference? Probably not. mackems.gif Janitor is right, im not gonna respond to be fair, i just think there are 2 completely different sets of circumstances. I still believe that Allardyce shoudt of been given too much money this Jan which fits in line with my original argumetns but think as this squad isnt Harrys and he wont ave another period to buy his own players till summer he will need backing, Thats all.

Potentially better in Hughes case but unproven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LucaAltieri Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Why do people hate Redknap as a person? Because of his bung stuff? Must say it puts me off. It also put me off Allardyce... difference being Allardyce was never arrested. I think we need to sign the right characters as well as the people with the right skills. Was also against signing Barton on the same grounds, and why I feel like vomiting when people suggest signing Chimbonda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realised this Redknapp bung thing was in stone, i missed the Panorama thing so dont really know the extent of it all. To be honest asmuch as i dont want baggage at the club i can handle someone like Redknapp, Allardyces involvement in the bung thing didnt seem to affect me too much. As for Barton, i was comletely against him as well, i just couldnt see the sense of gettin rid of Bellamy, Dyer, Bowyer et al then replacing them with possibly THE big troublemaker in the Prem.

GeordieDazzler Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Posted by Happy Face on Toontastic, not sure if he's posted the same thing on here. This is the way to go now, and I hope it happens for the sake of the club. Even if they sit down and can't agree terms, what do people expect to happen then? "Oh well, let's see if Mourinho fancies it"? Bollocks, the options will get worse and worse and it'll be an embarrassing hunt, the previous one of which ended with Souness, this one I guess ending with Mclaren. An absoloute embarrassment if it happened. Harry Redknapp's black and white army! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Why do people hate Redknap as a person? Because of his bung stuff? That, what he did with the Southampton/Pompey situation and his willingness to comment on all things that don't involve him via the press. His son/nephew don't help matters either. Will still support him 100% though if he is the new manager regardless of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
