Completely agree. He thinks we have the best squad outside Manchester. So we should be 3rd. The 'know your place' comment makes his a fudging cretin. Totman can continue his Harry reach around but I'm done with him forever.

Levy wont sack him now, at the end of the season, in the summer. Im convinced the FA are going after Hodgson. Levy will stick with Redknapp for one more year

We were better when Harry was in hospital.

and Redknapp did say earlier this season that Spurs could win the title, that cannot be denied by anyone, so he obviously thinks the squad is strong enough.

I haven't been engaging in the same kind of bashing that others have been but some of Redknapp's comments about the fans are really quite stupid.
People forget where Tottenham should be at times
This is not an acceptable comment, in any context. I have never heard Ferguson or Wenger for example, two significantly more successful managers, in their combined 41 years at Man utd and Arsenal, ever say anything like that. Even though both of them, at various points in their career at those clubs, have come under great pressure.
There is no place we 'should' be. We should be where our finances dictate, where we deserve based on playing squad and performances.

No way Harry should be sacked imo.
But those comments are not good at all. The whole "Tottenham should be mid table" isn't what fans want to hear, I don't understand how it's what the players or Levy wants to hear either. The only person in the world this makes look good is Harry Reknapp, as if he miraculously turned a mid table side into a top 4 side. When it's followed by "our form is not poor" it seems to me quite obviously as a deflection of the real issue. Our league form is in fact poor, like it was at this point last season, it is a problem. Harry should accept and take responsibility for that problem, not deflect it and make excuses for himself.

To the point of making himself and THFC look fudging ridiculous.

Not really tbh.
He's managed 1 win, 3 draws and 4 loses in our last 8 games which is not even good for a relegation threatend team. Add to that his disgraceful comment AND the fact that he's looking to leave at the end of the season anyway. Yeh he can leave.

he isnt, but not many managers are....Ferguson blames the refs, Wenger never saw it, Mancini spends another billion, Benitez talks about facts, Mourinho blames the New World Order, none of them come out and say "look, i got it wrong"
Time will tell, could you imagine him going around the world, with his mouth he would start an international incident lol, He can barely read and write you know, on a serious note the FA want a coach and for me Redknap does not fit that description, he will get that job only through media clamour.

The time for sacking Redknapp has passed. So little time left now that we may as well ride out the last few matches, accept the FA compensation and make a proper appointment in the summer.

That's what Fergie was probably getting at in his comments that the FA are facing a potential backlash, i.e. Harry might not be the appointment they want but it's the one they have to make.

True, but none of them say "no no, we're doing great, the club is actually over performing currently - there is no poor form". And actually Mourinho is renowned for bringing pressure on to himself instead of his players.
Not the time in my opinion. If there were some emergency manager available, like when Chelsea brought in Hiddink a couple of years ago then maybe it would be a decent idea, but I don't think there is.

Mourinho also brings all the pressure on himself to deflect it away from the team and club. Ferguson will often say that he got it wrong and that the other team deserved to win, even if there are often comments about the ref in there as well. And none of them ever say we're above where the club should be. Mancini's never come out and said City weren't even in this league 10 years ago. Ferguson hasn't said Man Utd had 7 league titles when I got here. Benitez didn't say well I won this club the European cup etc etc.

And the clamour has died down how hasn't it? After our brick run. Hence Harry drumming up the credentials again in the press to remind the FA what a great job he did.

I don't see what purpose sacking Harry would serve; reads back too much like 'ah well, we're fudged...so lets fudge ourselves even more!'.
We've five league games left. We all want to win those games and secure Champions League. Well, sacking the manager and generating huge instability isn't going to achieve that. Yes we were holding 3rd for a long time, but just because we're now 4th doesn't mean that we must cut our noses off to spite our face.
I also find it a bit odd, that there are some on here who take 'the fall from 3rd' as justification to bash Harry Redknapp. Okay, so which manager actually put us in the position in the first place? Oh, it was Harry Redknapp. So, let me just get this straight: you want to sack the manager who put the club in a seriously strong position in the first place?
Riiiiiiight - genius :-s

Praise and criticism. Two sides of the same coin.
