Yeah I'd say so.
Yeah he hasn't won the league, or any cups - but what he HAS done, is maintained our progress and improvement.
I think some of you don't quite appreciate just how difficult that is to do, that being - to just maintain your position. We've spent diddly squat to achieve that too - even more of an achievement, when you consider those around us are spending fudging hundreds of millions, both on fees and wages.
And I'm sorry, but some of you are pure lying to yourselves if you honestly think Daniel Levy hasn't had a large say-so in us spending diddly squat. He made a point in the last accounts to state that essentially the squad needed to be trimmed and was unsustainable. That's a pressure bearing right down on the managers head: lose resource yet deliver on objectives. Leeds, you know yourself - that's fudging hard to do in ANY line of business.
We don't have the finances or the players to win the title; neither of which are good enough. We have a good team, but it's not an outstanding one. Am I supposed to be fudged off that we never won the Premiership or something? Get real!! Build slowly and surely - that's the way to success, and to be successful in the long-term. Sorry chaps if it tinkles over your fireworks, but Harry Redknapp delivers on that front. Any other season and we'd be talking about him achieving Champions League football for us, for the 2nd time - and only a point off 3rd. Considering we finished 5th last time out, that - in whatever light - IS progression.
