Keegan did motivation and look how that turned out, Redknapp would be the same.

Couple thoughts:
1) wonder whether Harry feels like a bit of a tool now after constantly linking himself in the press to the job!
2) he's probably also a bit tinkled off now that he put those comments in teh press this morning re Modric leaving
3) probably means that our transfer policy will remain short sighted

Keegan did Gareth Southgate in central midfield... along with lots more madness. Redknapp might be a bit daft but he isn't THAT daft. I think he'd do a decent job for England but I can see the case for Hodgson too.

The point is that the FA were embarrassed the last time they allowed the media to select a England manager, they will not make that mistake again ( imo)
WOnder whether Harry will resign? I mean, he'd probably already departed mentally and after what he's been paid at SPurs for the last few years he should be very comfortable financially. Am sure one of the TV companies would hire him as a pundit as well. Anyone reckon he'll try to stir things up and negotiate a departure with a pay-off rather than resign?
From our perspective, he'll not a long-term solution and therefore our transfer policy will continue to be short-term

If there is a reason why Redknapp won't get the job, it's the same reason why Clough was never offered the job and why Hoddle was sacked.

It was over a decade ago with very different people involved. I don't think the media have much to do with anything here.

Just like Kevin Keegan, another motivational specialist.

Why? Most Manager's don't last 3 years whether they are 33 or 65.

I don't think Keegan was ever a motivational specialist. He in charge of a Saudi Sportswashing Machine side that at the time had a lot of money to burn. And he spent it furiously.

You really believe that?
Most managers act as if they'll be there for a while and sign younger players rather than sign 33+ year old players who cant make it into the Blackburn and Everton teams

Players like Sandro, VDV and Walker?

In fairness to him, he also bought well on the cheap on several occasions. Rob Lee and Andy Cole were signed in the 1st division, from other clubs outside the top flight and cost next to nothing. Yet became key players for several years. All the while we were spunking the same kind of money on Dozzell, Cundy etc.

Harry will be massively tinkled off but it serves him right. He's been speaking and acting as if he'd been appointed for a couple of months now.
I'm not one for conspiracies but this has all worked out amazingly well for Arsena. Firstly after Harry being linked they take full advantage of our resulting slump in form to take 3rd, now as they look to tie it up in the remaining 2 matches they face a soon to be managerless WBA. A potentially tough match with Hodgeson in charge and a CL/3rd place decider.
