Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

[Finney Is Back]

That Squad included Modric, Bale, Adebayor VDV, Lennon, Defoe with Ledley as CB. Best one in recent times imho, should have won something or at least come close. That it didn’t really compete for major trophies, for me meant he did a very good job rather than a great one.

We had a chance of the league title with the January transfer window open. Redknapp knew we had a great chance and wanted two quality players, the board got him Saha and Nielson. Unfortunately 4th was 'good enough' for the board (as always).

Things were getting worse. The squad was aging - he was bringing in paat-it or journeymen players like Gallas, Gudjohnson and Pienaar. The first thing we did when he left was sweep the decks and pivot to youth with Vertoghen, Lloris and Dembele etc.

Gallas was excellent for us. Piennar was a good utility player and Gudjohnson cost very little and did a good job. I know that you automatically hink every young player is brilliant and every player older than 28 is rubbish GB but Redknapp put together a very good squad a Spurs and put it together on a budget that wasn't particularly big for either transfer fees or wages.

Or we had spent our transfer budget in the summer. Had maxed our credit on the stadium and tried to do the best we could.

Lewis could have put money in, but never seemed that interested.

So what? Levy has a history of binning off managers who have done well at the first sign of trouble. I don't blame Harry for wanting to manage England while his stock was high.

Nothing wrong with that, but if he hadn't tried to play it out in public, and batted back the media with 'I've got a job to do at Tottenham', then when he didn't get it, he would've got his new contract from Levy, IMO.

I'm not overly bothered given the time elapsed....just saying what happened.

He fudged up but not sure how it was possible for it not to be played out in public. Football managers have to do at least 2 press conferences a week.

Gudjohnson and Piennar made an average of 10.5 appearances for us

Gudjohnsen was a 6 month loan, how many games did you expect him to play? Pienaar got a load of injurys and spent a year with us, yet we still made a profit on him.
