O/T Capello Resigns / New England Manager Speculation Thread

K.D.D.D.D.Soc said:
I can only believe that the people who don't want Sherwood having a bigger role at this club must never have seen what he is trying to do with the academy players. The whole emphasis is on controlled football and technique and its only by sticking with this approach will we produce the type of player we want as Spurs. Tactical genius managers tend to produce pragmatic teams which either bore the oppostion to death or their own fans eventually.

It's because he has no managerial experience and we hope to be playing in the Champions League next season, not a good mix.
 
Sorry Chelsea, I'm staying put... Mourinho to sign new deal at Real Madrid


Jose Mourinho has effectively ruled himself out of the race to manage either Chelsea or England by promising to sign a new deal at Real Madrid.
The 49-year-old revealed: ‘I am going to sign a new contract with Real Madrid. I would like to have a place in the club’s history.’

New deal: Mourinho has revealed he is set to sign a new contract


Mourinho, whose side are 10 points clear of Barcelona before Saturday night’s match at Real Betis, is on the brink of becoming the first manager to win a league title in four major countries.

He had dropped hints recently that he wanted to return to the Barclays Premier League and, after patching up his differences with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, was among the favourites to take charge at Stamford Bridge following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas.

But he said: ‘Real Madrid and I share a project and we are going to carry on with it. Being part of this team is a fantastic and unforgettable experience for a manager like me.

'Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I feel happy here. I feel they trust me here and I feel I have the complete support of the directors and all the fans.

‘I see my future as achieving more things with Real Madrid and better results that lead to us winning trophies.’

Unlike Harry Redknapp's vast experience in the Champions League. Good managers are people who can get other people to believe in their own ability and the confidence to express themselves
 
It's almost as though Mourinho was using Chelsea as his bitch, to get a better deal at Real.

Who would have thought that managers are so fickle and greedy?
 
I think a medium sized club like Chelsea have some bloody cheek thinking they are some kind of rival to RM or Barca, or that personnel would consider Chelsea as a par-alternative.

Why?

I was of the understanding he is a bit of a crackpot - and his only real accomplishment (with Germany) was much more due to Loew that Jurgen who was more of a front man than the brains of the operation

Jurgen is clearly a very bright chap, and I doubt he'd accept his involvement in any of his projects as being simply a pretty-boy front man. And plenty of successful managers - Clough, Harry, MO'N - lean heavily on their coaches and other backroom people, so a lack of absolute technical expertise need not be a problem. Wisdom can get you by.

I think there is quite a good fit between Spurs and JK at this point in time. Synergy I guess they'd call it in management-speak. But he's an ego and it would be a risk without doubt. One worth taking? I honestly don't know, but I am heartened that Levy should have access to plenty of insider-gossip about JK's real self and should be able to make an informed decision about whether he's a flake or diamond.

So why did he fail at Bayern then? They should certainly have been a perfect fit for him.

This doesnt sound great to me!

Reviewing his coaching at Bayern, current Germany captain Philipp Lahm, criticized Klinsmann in his book "Der feine Unterschied". Lahm stated how Klinsmann wasn't interested in strategy and too focused on fitness: "Tactical issues were given short shrift. We players had to get together on our own before matches to discuss how we wanted to play."[SUP][31][/SUP] Lahm subsequently had to apologize publicly for his candor.[SUP][[/SUP]

Well, in fairness my post was hardly a resounding call for his appointment!

As for Munich, that is an incredibly political job at a very political club. And Klinsmann after all is not a Munich man, only going there as a player pretty late in his career. Munich really favours her own, and the club is full of old boys.

In any case, the Wiki link also tell me he had a 68% win rate over 43 games there, which is a huge number for that stat.

It's an interesting discussion but I would say that there's no chance that Jurgen will become our manager (assuming Harry leaves).

He's coach of the U.S. national team which, I suspect, suits him down to the ground. He loves living in the U.S. and so does his family. And he's never been one to immerse himself 100% in football - so the lesser day to day involvement of international football suits him.
 
Redknapp unsure over England


Tottenham boss enjoying his time at White Hart Lane

By Patrick Haond. Last Updated: March 12, 2012 4:19pm

Redknapp is the overwhelming favourite to take charge of England following Fabio Capello's decision to resign last month.

The Football Association has drawn up a shortlist of contenders for the role and an announcement on Capello's successor is expected to be made towards the end of the season.

However, despite the clamour for Redknapp to be handed the job, the Spurs boss appears to be torn regarding the idea of leading the national team.

"I have a very good job at Tottenham today and I like it. But I do not know. We will wait and see."

The 65-year-old enjoys the challenge at White Hart Lane and admits the demands facing an international manager are totally different to those at club level.

"When you have a club, you are looking for a striker and you take them. When you're coach, you must do with the players you have in your country," he added.

"If you do not have a good scorer, you have none. And you almost never see the players. Two days every two months, it is very difficult."

If Redknapp does secure the job, he will take England to Euro 2012 and he believes that the Three Lions have been drawn in a tough group.

He continued: "The French team has a good team. It will be difficult for England at the Euros. The group is difficult with Sweden and Ukraine.

"I believe Laurent Blanc is doing a very good job. The 2010 World Cup was a disaster, but he has come in and done a great job."

Harry recalls Capello upset


Spurs boss says he angered Italian with opinion about England

Last Updated: March 13, 2012 9:08am


Tottenham boss Redknapp is the favourite to be named Capello's permanent successor after the Italian resigned in February in the wake of the John Terry captaincy saga.

If Redknapp does take the job, he will have to put up with analysis from various experts about every decision he makes in terms of selection and the formation of the team.

And Redknapp recalls how he once upset Capello with his views, telling the Radio Times: "I did an England game at Wembley about two years ago and I said 'I can't believe we're playing Steven Gerrard on the left wing'.

"Fabio got the needle with me because he thought I had criticised him and he didn't like it, but I was only just giving him my opinion."

Redknapp knows that it is part of life as a manager that others will occasionally take offence over opinions that are expressed so publicly, having famously annoyed Darren Bent during their time together at Spurs.

"You've got to be careful. I once said, 'My old woman could have scored that', about a goal Darren Bent missed," Redknapp said.

"Bent then sulked, rang his agent, his agent rings the chairman and says he ain't happy and wants to leave. It was only the truth, wasn't it?"

Age an England issue for Harry


Redknapp thinks England is 'an older man's job'

Last Updated: March 14, 2012 6:05pm


The White Hart Lane chief is the favourite to succeed Fabio Capello and he believes it is a task for an 'older man'.

Redknapp certainly fits that criteria, having recently turned 65, and he has in the past made no secret of his desire to manage his country.

He said: "I suppose there's not a million candidates, you know, Roy Hodgson and Sam Allardyce and whoever.

"Capello did okay, for sure - bad World Cup (in 2010) - but we haven't really torn up any trees, so why not give it to somebody from here."
Harry Redknapp Quotes of the week

"And there's some young managers like Nigel Adkins and people like that, who in the future, I'm sure, would be fantastic, but, at the moment, probably too young.

"It is an older man's job, I think. It's not a job for a young guy."

Speculation

Redknapp added: "I said all along I think it needs an English manager. I think we need to give somebody a go. We've not achieved anything with foreign managers.

"Capello did okay, for sure - a bad World Cup (in 2010) - but we haven't really torn up any trees, so why not give it to somebody from here."

Redknapp reiterated he had yet to be approached by the Football Association and remained determined not to let the speculation distract him.

He said: "It's a great job, obviously, to be manager of your country.

"It's difficult. At the moment, I've got a job to do at Tottenham and suddenly we've lost a couple of games.

"I've got to really keep concentrating on my job at Tottenham, which I do 100 per cent, and see what happens at the end of the year.

"Tottenham is my only focus, really. I want to make sure we get Champions League football this year."

How can you continually kitten yourself out to England and be 100% commited to your current job.

Is it me, or is that kind of impossible ?

He doesn't even have the decency to stop talking about the England job for 1 week let alone him saying nothing about it until the end of the season.
 
im really getting fed up with the big mouthed media kitten.. maybe the sooner we're rid of him the better, at this rate.

(if things don't improve, before the one-eyed redknapp loyalists rip my head off)
