Guest sicko2ndbest Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Ian Dennis @Iandennisbbc Harry Redknapp has left Spurs #bbcfootball 10:55 PM - 13 Jun 12 zzzzzzzzz It's what is known as a reputable source you utter bore. I would say Richard Keys is a reputable source tbh! BBC have reported plenty of falsehoods in the past No better really, but then again it's come from you so it carries more weight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 The top four was an extreme closed shop for 4 or 5 years. Jol managed to finish 5th two season in a row (one year being extremely unlucky on the final day with half the squad coming down with food poisoning). His net spend during that time was £6 million in '06, £6 million in '05 and £13 million in '04. Then when they stepped their spending up a notch (£40 million in 07) he was given the boot after 2 games of the season. They had Ramos for a year then spent another £40 million in the summer of 08. Redknapp came in and steadied the ship but essentially took over a much improved side from Jol and finished 1 place higher, helped out by Liverpool having an abysmal season compared to the previous 5 years. Not massive progress at all and certainly not done a better job. He's just lucky that that Ramos in between makes him look like he turned round a terrible team when it was anything but. Quarter finals of the champions league is not something you can ignore tbh. Plus they had 2 points from 8 games before Big Sexy Harry stepped in, which would indicate the team wasn't all that special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I bet the 24 members of the Spurs ITK Council are all frantically rushing to get to the emergency meeting of the star council right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Not that I think they'd go for either (as they're both too British and not sufficiently European) but Pardew, even on the scant evidence of one season, would probably be a better fit for them than Moyes.

Interpolic Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong but all but 2 Spurs managers in the last 20 years have eventually taken them backwards / had them floating around midtable, it's not like it's easy to even stand still in the top 5 of the league, never mind make small improvements on the whole as Redknapp has.

brummie Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 How the fuck does he get linked to so many decent jobs? Mind you, obviously Spurzzz will match up to Whelan's belief that his manager will go to a true intergalactic giant of a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not understood this Moyes talk for both Man Utd and Spurs. I don't see how he fits either at all. Is it all because he's Scottish enough to replace Fergie, and he seems to end up at Spurs quite often on versions of FM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all very contradictory. You're bigging up Jol essentially saying he did a great job, then claiming Redknapp didn't do a great job even though he got them finishing higher than Jol evr did doing consistently better. There's nothing flukey about finishing 4th, 5th and 4th aswell as getting to the CL Quarters and a League Cup Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way a manager of the like of Moyes can have a cat's chance in hell of getting a job at Man United these days, because the very minimum they will want is a decent amount of CL experience, and Moyes doesn't have it.

They had finished 5th twice in a row under Jol and had then spent an absolute fortune adding much better players. Redknapp just got lucky that he took over from a characterless moron in between. (who hilariously still won more trophies at Spurs) How many of the signings that have made them a success is Redknapp responsible for? Modric, Bale etc were all bought during that spending splurge that Jol never got to see the benefits of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyes certainly doesn't get linked with it as often as he does Spurs. But it still perplexes me as to the amount of sensible, well-spoken football fans I've heard mention Moyes being in line for the Man Utd job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho is almost good enough to merit an interview for the Spurs job. That's how good the bloke is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
