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.

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

Walker was signed under harry.

It wasn't about the manager it was because we got rid of the dof model sacking comoli before bringing in harry.

A manager will always look to buy ready made players. Because his job is based on a game to game basis. Buying talented youngsters for the future is not in his interest. Unless he has long term job security.

Nah, the Walker / Naughton deals were already agreed when Harry accepted the job. He had nothing to do with them.

In fact, Naughton became the stereotypical Spurs squad player. Harry wouldn't admit that the club needed to sell him as he wasn't up to it. He just kept leaving him in the squad, when he wasn't on one of his many loans. If you could sum up Harry's stockpiling in one player it was Naughton.
