Harry Redknapp: The Aftermath

Any quote taken out of context, from print and away from the initial question is never scrupulous but Harry refers to Tottenham far more as 'us' or 'we'.
He seems to refer to the fans when he says 'they' and in light of the bipolar nature of the crowd, has every reason to view 'them' as separate from the actual team.

"People forget where Tottenham should be at times," Redknapp said. "They have won two Carling Cups since 1991, the average finishing position until four or five years ago was probably about 10th - our form is fantastic.
So...we should be 10th....with the off carling cup run.

That bit right there is the one that I will never be able to forgive. That's is a low blow and thats coming from the fudging manager himself. Absolutely no class or respect at all.

None of what he's said is particularly outrageous, new or untrue.

I agree.
We have a great squad, yes. But after one exciting year in the Champions League, it's like some fans expect us to finish in the top four EVERY year. The fact we were 10 points clear in 3rd and we could now potentially finish as low as 6th this season says it all.

How many more times? Poor late form costs us.
Tottenham dip late in season. Yet again.
This time its been catestrophic, from such a commanding position, and its cost us our best opportunity to finish in a high berth in the Premiership and to wave the THFC flag in those N5 tacos faces. ABOVE THEM. Rub their noses in it. Its spectacularly fudging up on a commanding position of 10 points clear of The Filth, in only a few weeks, to now trailing them, which irks people so much. It irks me MASSIVELY. The collapse is appaling, and is certainly the issue which is unacceptable, IMHO.
CL is where its at, but I would love us to win the FA Cup too. It is about glory, but to suceed in both of those competitions is glorious. A CL place is glory too.
How many times have I heard it lately that Man Utd are 'programmed ' to perform in March and April. If they can, why not THFC? We do the opposite.
The difference between the two is what precisely? I rather think its the management, and the standard-bearer of that is Mr Redknapp in the case of THFC. So the blow of recent poor form is down to him and his management team, squarely, IMHO. Who else? The tea lady?
I have not heard SAF claim that that mid-table blandness is good enough for MUFC. Not ever. Its not good enough for THFC either, Mr Redknapp, so any indication of that being acceptable is not acceptable by THFC fans. Unless you are a Gooner in disguise.
Mr Redknapp might also find, before long, that such lowly expectations and rankings will be unacceptable when in the England manager job too. In fact he might find the brickstorm brews rather quicker than league football.
Leeds Spur is quite right with his postings. We can both see behind the mask. Redknapp is not a top flite Premiership manager IMHO.
Out of interest, are some Redknapp apologists on this MB, members/employees of Spurs, or chums of Redknapp? Judging by some of the absurd defensive comments about Redknapp on this MB in this thread, they must be. Talk about defending the undefendable. Still, fiddle whilst Rome burns people.
And yes, I desperately want Spurs to win the FA Cup. 20+ years is too long. I want the best for Spurs, and that is THE TOP.

And be replied to asking where they have been for the last 20 years ?
FFS this is a joke trying to take everything Redknapp says out of context or exaggerate it. You know full well what he means, its not that bad. It seems people are going to any lengths to have a go at HR, no matter how silly/petty they look.
And in case you didnt understand his point, he is saying for 20 years we have been mid table, you dont jump to title winners over night. Therefore "people forget where they should be" quite clearly means at this moment in time we should be progressing from a consistent mid table to a consistent top 5, and then hopefully in the future to top 3. So if you had given harry a plan when he joined, our current position is spot on for where we should be.

'People forget where they should be'
Not way that can be misinterpreted.
Willful ignorance.
"So you can get too carried away with where you should be and who you are. If we want to maintain that next year and the year after, you've got to keep improving."
If you, or anyone else reads the entire quote, and decides from that he means we are a 10th place team or should be in 10th place, then you really need to learn how to read a sentence, and logically piece it together to gain an overall perspective.
Most posters on here can, and have. There are a few who Im not surprised in any way, cant, or refuse to.
As a decent poster ModricTHFC, be careful not to fall into that group. Just read, and listen to what he actually said, and dont take one line out of an entire interview, and view in the context you choose, just to make Redknapp look bad. It's really, really pointless.
:ross:
So every English manager should be a childhood supporter of the club they manage?
In the same interview he says "they", he also says "us" and "we", several times. In fact, he say those words more.
More agenda driven nonsense against him.

I dreamt about Redknapp last night. Was walking down the street with him and said that I post on a forum and said that all of us love him for what he has done and would not begrudge him for leaving for England. He said thanks but he doesn't know what to do, then said when he does leave and gets loads of money he will give me some shares in spurs.
I have no idea what this means or of this worth, but I must either be a pussy or I still love Redknapp

Its not about what we used to be, it's what we currently are. Yes through the late 90's and early 00's we were mediocre brick. But after that we have steadily progressed and have become one of the challengers for a cl spot on a regular basis. I for one have enjoyed the ride. One of the reasons i broke my account and went to Milano so i could watch my beloved Spurs in a CL match. Getting 4th place is one of the brightest highlights of my entire life. I will forever be grateful and love Redknapp for that.
Before we appointed him i did not like him at all, but he grew on me and I think he overall has done a great job, but he's not messiah or a wizard of some sort. I think other managers could've taken us even further.
Before the season I had us at 5th place challenging for 4th, so in that sense i should be happy now. But i'm really not. Losing 3rd place when we had so many points in hand is a disgrace IMO. You have to adjust your ambitions after your current level and progression. As Harry deserves praise when its going good he also really deserves some stick when it's going bad like now. Its almost like that late 90's side again
IMO his comments in the media are a disgrace, kind of "they were brick, I have done a t'rrrific job"

Well the fact remains he said nothing of the sort. And the fact remains that even if he had, its the truth isnt it.

I think its done and dusted. And that last line makes me believe it even more.
"and I've left them with the strongest squad in the league, outside of Manchester."
Not, and they (GHod forbid he said 'we') have the strongest squad....
Possibly, a slip of the tongue, but that tells me, just like somebody selling their house, in his mind he's already moved on
Im still to find a source (other than Wriggly and LeedSpur) where he said that. Can someone post it, as I havent read it in one single article, and its not on the nine minute Talksport audio either

Its a sly dig at the fans, and for a manager to do that to his own teams supporters is defiantly outrageous.
