Village Idiot Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I wonder if Rafa Benitez is being seriously considered. Tactically astute, done well in European tournaments with Liverpool, settled in England and wouldn't cost the compensation Harry would require as Levy will certainly drive a hard bargain. He spoke about wanting to manage at international level a month ago, actually. Most inferred he was positioning himself for the Spain job should Del Bosque leave after the EC.

Guest Roger Kint Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 62% on SkyNews say Redknapp shouldn't get the job. It was similar yesterday on the radio which was immediately dismissed as unhappy Spurs fans skewing the vote rather than lose their manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 For me, the line up moving forward, when everyone's fit should be this: Hart, Cole, Cahill, Jones, Richards, Milner, Parker, Young, Wilshere, Sturridge, Rooney. It still looks poor like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still looks poor like. Drop Wilshere in for one of Milner or Parker, play Rooney as more withdrawn and Welbeck upfront. I'd be tempted to have Oxlade-Chamberlain in too, definitely as an option.

Taylor Swift Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Nobody from outside England (and ideally the home counties) will be allowed anywhere near the England team for a very long time IMO. When you bomb out of the WC in '14 and reports come out of players disrespecting Redknapp and undermining his authority then the FA will back up a truckload of cash onto the biggest, unemployed foreign manager out there. You did it with Sven, you did it with Capello. You'll do it again. It's a shame that the FA is reactive in these hirings and that they don't possess enough foresight to actually hire the best man for the job, regardless of public opinion. I'll be honest: you look at a team like Liverpool and they've always hired who they thought was best for them, regardless of what the media think. They don't react to the failures by swinging to the opposite side of the pendulum, and they've been moderately successful in spite of the financial constraints that they have.
