Hanshithispantz Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Anyway, I know he's an absolute cunt and nobody wants to admit he's actually a good manager, but Redknapp really should have been given the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 He's a good manager, pointless knocking his managerial achievements because you don't like the bloke and/or he's over-rated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 1 trophy in 30 years of management, beating a Championship side and bankrupting a club in exchange. Charlatan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 He's a good manager, pointless knocking his managerial achievements because you don't like the bloke and/or he's over-rated. His managerial 'achievements' are mediocre at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 As I said, utterly pointless. What did Kevin Keegan win? What has Pardew won? Roy Hodgson even? Redknapp isn't the greatest manager on this planet, far from it, but he would have been a far better appointment than Hodgson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Also it would be litterally impossible for Redknapp to bankrupt England, so we don't really need to worry about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redknapp hasn't achieved anything close to what Keegan did at NUFC. He's a fraud who's reputation is built on thin air. There is nothing to suggest he was the standout candidate for the job, nothing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The point is that Redknapp is a tactical pygmy who has achieved next to nothing in his long career in the game and has as many relegations on his CV as he does trophies. The only reason he was the standout manager for the job was because his mates decided he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Id say taking Spurs from bottom of the league to title/top 4 challengers is a damn good achievement. As for bankrupting Pompey, I'd be pretty sure Redknapp had little to do with the clubs internal finances and was only spending money he was allocated in charge. Managed to build a good side there too. Aye, he's not gods gift to management like the press like to claim and aye, he's a bit of a cunt but to write him off as a total fraud is a biased and unfair view tbh.

That Spurs side had been built up for many years beforehand, with Jol doing an excellent job. They twice finished marginally 5th before a bad appointment with Ramos. All he did was do what Jol did except that Liverpool had a disasterous season so instead of finishing 5th they took 4th. To say he took a relegation side to 4th is the kind of fraudulent bollocks that his reputation is built on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took charge of Spurs before the January transfer window, though. I remember him playing against us end of December, where we won with Duff scoring that late late goal. He needed the transfer window. With the same players they had after that surely Juande Ramos would have done better, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Roy Hodgeson has won absolutely nothing of note. List his "8 league titles" then? I'm guessing they were won in top leagues such as the Bundesliga, Serie A (Maybe he won a few when he was at Inter?) or La Liga? He didn't win the Premiership did he?

ponsaelius Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Redknapp is a dopey little Englander, just like the press over here. There's no way he'd be able to be a success managing in different countries, learning different languages and cultures, helping build entire national set-ups from the ground up like he did in Switzerland. Half of Spurs' fanbase wants rid of Redknapp and every single set of supporters of his previous clubs despise him. He's a chancer with basic coaching credentials and a history of being tactically inept when it matters. Roy's coaching history and respect in the game completely outstrips him, but of course it didn't happen on these shores so it didn't happen full stop.
