When Inglethorpe gets mentioned for the managerial job I always like to quote this interview that Windy and bankrupt had with John McDermott our academy manager a couple of years ago

Q: Finally, could we talk specifically about Alex Inglethorpe’s influence? Something the fans often talk about is whether someone like him has the opportunity to rise through the ranks at a club like Spurs and make it to first team coach or manager. It doesn’t seem to happen that often these days, where someone takes that path up through a club. Do you think it’s possible that he may move up to reserve manager at some point?

JM: Is that a promotion though? I personally think, in Chris Ramsey, we have got the best under-9-16 coach in the country, and I think with Alex we’ve got the best under-18 coach in the country now. Is Chris Ramsey going to be an outstanding manager at Macclesfield? That’s not his skills set. His skill set is doing what he does now. Alex’s skill set? I think he’s outstanding with the 17-21 year old age group, and if him and Harry were to flip jobs…who knows?

One of the reasons I got Alex in, and when I first spoke to Chris, I wanted a commitment from them that this is something I want them to specialise in. I want you to be the best youth coach - and I don’t necessarily see it as a stepping-stone. What Alex needs is a different skill set to Kevin Bond or Joe Jordan or Harry Redknapp. I would like to think that Alex, Chris and myself are getting our job satisfaction from watching Jon Obika step out, or Dean step out and not thinking “I hope now the phone rings and I can go to Milton Keynes”. That’s why I try to bring those staff in - they’re not using this just to be promoted, or the perception of promotion…

Worth letting Harry go now?

Think the damage has been done.

Trying not to knee jerk but he's not offering any more.

Wouldn't be surprised if the FA came in for talks soon seeing as we're giving everything away at the minute!
 
at the time i said he should either commit his future to Spurs (publicly turning down the England job, or more ruling himself out) or resign there and then as the uncertainty would derail our season

unfortunately it looks like i was bang on the money
 
Agreed, we really do need to sack him tonight, but as I said in a previous thread we wont. We will get ?ú from England when they come calling.
 
I'm losing faith, simply because I hate Managers that tinker with the formation and/or rotation of players. He fudged up against Norwich by resting certain players and not playing a DM. He fudged up against QPR by implementing a brand new system.

It smacks of a Manager who has either a)ran of out ideas or b)is extremely pig headed and determined to do things as he sees fit when everyone else around him is telling him the simple solution.
