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 ;)

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.

I'm definitely nearly asleep now, I wasn't even tired.

 

Oooo Dave I love you, please allow me to jump on your impressive bandwagon...

 

Stay original inter, it's what makes you slightly amusing

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.

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.

Spurs have finished in the top 5 a massive five times in the last 21 seasons.

 

Mid table is their natural terrain.

I am slightly nervous about Pardew tbh, not gonna lie. And I'm even willing to accept reassurance from Martin Jol....

 

Ditto. Lets pray.

 

Although, having thought about it, I guess Levy is more ambitious and wants someone with Champions League pedigree. Let's hope so.

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?

Aye definitely, therefore Redknapp has to be seen to have done a good job surely.

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.

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.

I understand Alex McLeish experienced the Champions League with Glasgow Rangers (dissolved).

Agree with that, far too much too lose.  Guardiola or Mourinho for me.

The team was good though. 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.

:thup: It'll be one of the top ones in management, whoever that may be in about 25 fucking years. 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.

Mourinho is still the only manager I can think of as having enough talent, experience and ego to take on the Man Utd job after Fergie.

 

Mourinho is almost good enough to merit an interview for the Spurs job.

 

That's how good the bloke is.
