OT: What next for Harry?

Funny - What Redknapp Said to AVB

What Redknapp Said to AVB - Exclusive


Spurs take on Queens Park Rangers on Saturday lunchtime and it will be the first time new Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has faced his former side since leaving the club last summer. In a PickOurTeam exclusive, we listened to the pre-match conversation between Redknapp and his successor at White Hart Lane, Andre Villas-Boas. This is how it went:

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS: Harry, how are you?

HARRY REDKNAPP: Gnnnnnnnggghr!

AVB: I beg your pardon?

HR: Gaaaaaargh!

AVB: Are you ok? Should I send for a doctor?

HR: Bah! 'Allo Andre, mate. Sorry about that. I'm 'aving a right 'mare with this new smartphone Jamie gave me. I've been trying to text Sandra for the last hour, but I can't get anywhere with it.

AVB: Harry?

HR: Yes, Andre?

AVB: That's a pocket calculator.

HR: Is it?

AVB: Yes.

HR: Well, that explains why I've only been able to type 'boobies'. I did wonder about that. How are you, Andre? How's Tottenham treating you?

AVB: (shrugs) It is as it should be. They feed me on time, my quarters are satisfactory, the training grounds are fit for routine perambulation and calisthenics. And you? How is Queens Park Rangers?

HR: I'll level you with you, Andre, it's a bleedin' nightmare. I've got 48 players and only seven of 'em are on the Redknapp Scale.

AVB: The Redknapp Scale?

HR: Yeah, well there's Clint Hill, Shaun Derry, Samba Diakite and Jamie Mackie. They'll run through brick walls. Then you've got Adel Taarabt. He's a top player. You've got Julio Cesar. He's even better. He's a top, top player. And then you've got Esteban Granero.

AVB: What is he?

HR: He's t'riffic.

AVB: I see. I must thank you, by the way, for leaving me such a well appointed squad.

HR: Top, top lads, aren't they? Bale's t'riffic. You know the secret to Bale?

AVB: No!

HR: Tell him to run about a bit.

AVB: I see. I found it hard at first to override their natural instinctitude for simplicity. I had to re-route their primary sub-routines and recode their aware-iables.

HR: You've lost me.

AVB: I wrote a dossier.

HR: Ah, yeah. Dossiers. Bit modern, that. You know what really works? Putting smiles on faces. These lads, they're good lads, top lads, but they don't like brain-sweat. Take Jermain, for example. Simple lad. Stick the ball in front of him and he'll score. Or he'll be caught offside. But sometimes he'll score. Simple.

AVB: Actually, I've instructed him to diversify his diffusion.

HR: Eh?

AVB: I told him to run about a bit.

HR: Ah, that's just science though. Anyone can do that. You got a clipboard?

AVB: I have seven.

HR: I've got one. It's brilliant. Kevin uses it to carry coffee mugs out from the office to the training ground. Very handy. Anyway, I've got to get back to the dressing room. Bobby Zamora's crying in the shower again and Rob Green keeps writing 'Come and get me' on the walls in his own poop. No rest for the wicked, eh? One more thing, who you got your eye on for the transfer window?

AVB: Leandro Damiao. He is mobile, intelligent and a potent force in the final third. The amorphous nature of his movement makes him the perfect target for the verticality of our passing, allowing us to eviscerate rear quarters with extreme perspectivication.

HR: You wot?

AVB: (sighs) He's t'riffic.

HR: Lovely jubbly. I'm making a move for Crouchy. Top player, lovely lad. All the best, Andre! Be lucky!

yep the the first few games at the lane this season was like a big fecking party,everyone was so up for it.

The man has been in management for over thirty years i think by now he can gage if people are with him or not,he knew where the club was and where it ended with him,it'll be the same with QPR,they'll go down most probably but if he takes them back up he'll know where he stands with the rangers fans.Are the qpr fans unhappy with his appointment,don't think so.

To be honest at his age now,he couldn't give two hoots on where he stands with the fans but him ,joe and kev had standards that he expected from the players and that took us to the top 4 for three years and a quarter final of the champs league..........not many people complaining then.

What's wrong with what he said? Yeah there were some idiots who hated him and still do, but people weren't calling for him to go at the games, maybe on here some were, but that doesn't represent nearly a million Spurs fans in this country.

And that quote about "any dope could succeed at Chelsea" was a dig at Rafa Benitez and was simply recycled by the press to stir it up ahead our game with QPR. And to AVB's credit, he didn't take the bait, but the press of course twisted what he said to make it look like he was digging at Harry.
 
'Arry mentioned Hazard and a few other players, before saying any dope could succeed with players like that. Given Hazard signed after AVB left, only Rafa and RDM can be the targets.

He makes it sound like he was unfairly sacked while the fans begged him and the chairman to stay - placing all the blame on the latter. Poor little victim, bless him

He done nuffink wrong!

Harry Redknapp says he has 'no problem' with former side Tottenham

Last Updated: January 11, 2013 4:11pm

Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp says he has "no problem" with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and will happily have a drink with Andre Villas-Boas.

Redknapp, who took over at Queens Park Rangers in November, will face Spurs for the first time since being sacked in the Premier League at Loftus Road on Saturday.

The 65-year-old led Spurs to two top-four finishes in three years, and despite being axed by the chairman, Redknapp said he holds no grudges.

"If I see Daniel, I'll shake his hand, no problem," he said.

"On the day I started at QPR, the first call I got was from Daniel wishing me luck.

"What's happened has happened and is in the past. He is the chairman, he decided he wanted a change of direction with regard to the manager and that's that.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Spurs but now my focus is to get three points for Rangers when we play them because we are in a lot of trouble at the bottom of the table."

A struggling QPR sit just five points adrift of safety going into the weekend's game, with former side Spurs chasing Champions League qualification under current manager Villas-Boas.

Redknapp added: "I don't have a relationship with Villas-Boas but then I don't have a relationship with any other manager in the Premier League.

"I don't socialise with him, he's gone to Tottenham and done a great job. What's the problem? I've got no problem with him at all.

"If I had something bad to say about him I'd say it, but I don't know him.

"I'll shake his hand after the game and invite him in for a drink, whatever

the result. I don't have any problems with him. He seems a nice guy.

"I won't be thinking 'it's Tottenham, we have to beat them'. QPR are my club

now, I'm not interested in Tottenham."

Out of interest who were the few other players, just to highlight no bias in the fact Hazard was the only one you mention that wasn't there during AVBs time at Chelsea, considering Hazard at the time was Chelsea's latest big money signing and anyone would have included him because of just that and not because of what your reasoning suggest. Not forgetting the fact Redknapp had actually heard of the player because he was in for him when at Tottenham, again was always going to include Hazard in that moment.

So what's wrong with that quote?

News flash: Redknapp says the world is round. GG goes ballistic- "no it ain't, saggy faced ****."

They were begging him to stay during the Saudi Sportswashing Machine game last season.

Whether he was fairly or unfairly sacked is a matter of opinion, but fans at WHL weren't asking for him to be sacked. Yeah some were pleased he went, but at worst, it was fifty fifty with regards wanting him to leave.

Did you attend any Spurs games last season?
 
Did you read this board after the Fulham game up until he was sacked?

Hell, some of his most vocal defenders right now were starting threads wanting him out after Norwich and QPR already

And after his tactical master-stroke at Villa (A) this place was a slaughterhouse - forget the knives, the panzerfaust were out - people wanted blood

I'd say on this place alone (many match-going posters) the balance was 60-40 towards 'out' - I can count his supporters at the time on one hand and can list them for you if you wish
 
Why mention the game where we went up early and everyone loving everyone else at that point, of course there would be affection aimed at Harry. I can assure you everyone can make arguments look good, like stats, every stat looks good placed in the right place. Why not mention how fans felt after the horrendous finish to the season.

At Saudi Sportswashing Machine the whoring hadn't started already so obviously most were in support.
