Lol. Linked closely? Modric wasn't signed by Harry and Bale couldn't get a game for ages!!they don't give a fudge saggy chops.

Mysteriously, no mention once again of the fact that Harry tried to undermine Levy and fudge Modric off out of it for the 40 mill west london offered in the last week of August...still, just sit back and watch him slooooooowly showhia srse even more brazenly until finally, everyone sees what he's made of...

Harry Redknapp only need point out the results of his last three seasons:

09/10: 4th
10/11: 5th
11/12: 4th

If Levy seriously thinks he can find a manager who can do better than that, under the financial straightjacket which Levy himself imposes, then good luck to him. All that, mind, while playing attacking football which - correct me if I'm wrong - is "the Spurs way".

Or maybe, "the Spurs way" is actually something else: maybe it's getting ideas above your station; thinking you're better than what you are; not knowing a good thing when you see it, and hell-bent on destroying it. tinkling around in mid-table, bemoaning brick decisions and players being sold.

Maybe that's the true "Spurs way" ?

You've contradicted yourself in there. Because if we follow the "above our station" gonads, then the end result will be the final few words..."financial straitjacket", what, because he won't sanction signing a bunch of over 30s on 80k a week or more? FFS. I'm all for a bit of experience, but what about balance? We could've ended up laden with the oldest squad in the league, half with 2 years left and a manager who will fudge off at the first sniff of a "better" job...
 
Sheikh Ma Nuggets said:
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.
Click to expand...

There is a LARGE transfer budget available for a manager who can both spend it responsibly and who is going to focus on the job they have ALL the time. And considering we got 5th last time out this is progression? We only finished 5th last time out because we had another fudging slump of a very VERY similar nature!!!!!!!!! One day it will all come out. And then the Harry-acolytes will see that the REAL problem has always been Harry, and that the TRUTH is, Harry could've been a fantastic manager for us except for the fact he didn't fudging FOCUS ON HIS fudging JOB AT THE CRITICAL fudging TIMES!!!!!!! See Sheikh, I can do "shouty gonads too" but the FACT REMAINS he LOST HIS FOCUS, and if he had NOT LOST HIS FOCUS/REVERSED THE HABIT OF A LIFETIME AND THOUGHT OF CLUB-BEFORE-SELF, we would NOT be having this discussion and we'd all be in agreement that he had delivered.
 
Sheikh Ma Nuggets said:
Oh yeah, I'm not denying Harry didn't inherit a good squad - but it also lacked some players which Harry identified, brought into the club, and reaped instant rewards from. That's solid management in anyones' books is that. Moreover, he took the same group of players and had them all moving in the same, motivated direction - and achieving better results with them; something previous managers failed at.

I know what you're saying about a lack of long-term strategy and that's a fear I've also had - I used to think the answer was always to try and build a nice youthful team and all would be wonderful. It doesn't work though - we kinda tried that, and found that your team will end up lacking the leadership and experience which Harry identified and brought into the club. Following that, the club instantly moved up a level.

It's not a miracle, but it IS an achievement. You have to look at things holistically, and our peers were/are spending absolute fortunes to all try and exist in the same space. Relatively speaking, we spent fudge all - and yet, at the end of the season, we occupy one of those highly sought after places. It's not water into wine, but it's a tick box in the primary, minimum objective which Levy would've undoubtebly given him.

When will you understand that for a lot of people, it's the fact that Redknapp COULD do it but due to lack of focus HASN'T done it which burns deepest? he is also totally incapable of saying ANYTHING which might serve as self-criticism. In my life I steer clear of people like that. It's why when I saw the fudger in the BA lounge yesterday I didn't go and ask him anything. What's the point? He never says anything "honest" yet he has built a rep of being "honest & open to the press"...you sit there and slag Levy off at any opportunity. You say poor old Harry has to work with a chairman who won't let him spunk gazillions on a squad of pensioners and old friends. Ever considered how difficult it is to be a chairman working with a manager who has the press in his pocket? If you didn't consider it already then take a look right now, because it's in full effect again...would YOU feel comfortable?
 
Sheikh Ma Nuggets said:
I don't understand the point? :lol:

Oh dear, you really do think something of yourself don't you?

How fudging hard is it to understand that I couldn't give a monkies about "conduct"? It's wholly and utterly irrelevant. If you took your head out of your crack, you'd have understood from my post that my only concern is results. That's it.

So, with that in mind, why the fudge would I give a brick about answering some lame nonsense concerning Luis Suarez? Not really my problem if the person asking the question is too damn stupid to understand that not everyone gives a toss about whatever Harry Redknapp is saying this week. He wins football matches - more so than many hyped-up tacos before him. That's all I'm bothered about. I couldn't give a rats ass if he said Arsenal were the most amazing club he'd ever come across if, when we played them, he engineered a result over them. Results game.

Are you getting my drift? I sincerely hope so, as it's really not that difficult to understand.

You're joking, right? Do you see what you did there?
 
Seems that those who think that Redknapp has done more then any other manager since Nic have missed out a certain KB from their rant,:ross:

And to think, Burky had to really start from the bottom, the second tier, having inherited a pile of total brick from Terry "****" Neil...mate...some people don't know their history...

Imagine having to deal with Young, McNobb, Osbad, Fatty Kendall, Moores, an aging Neighbor...there again, it's not like Burky did anything special like develop Hoddle, discover Galvin, develop Hughton, sign Roberts, sign Archibald, Crooks, Ardiles and Villa, win the UEFA Cup with players like dingdong and O'Reilly...

To cap it all, Keith Burkinshaw was one of the most non-egotistical managers around. He NEVER claimed credit, he was happy to take blame and he generally kept quiet. When he DID fudging say something controversial, it was because he BELIEVED it; and he left. A sad, sad day...

Just WAITING for someone to say"well that wasn't the premiership" blah blah blah. No it wasn't. It was Division 1, when Liverpool had one of the most incredible sides ever, Forest were roaring, etc, etc...

I just watched Redknapp's Sky interview again. Is there anyone who can defend him? Why couldn't he show some class and just say he didn't want to talk about his situation, that it will be sorted out one way or another and turn the conversation back around to "Tottenham" (BTW Harry, that's US!!!!!!!!)...there were far far better ways to deal with it than he gave, and IF he wanted to talk about it all so "openly" then I wonder why he left off what HE wants from it all? A fudging joke.


Must-calm-down...:)

lol, I know I may have arrived back to this late after that interview was given, but wow. I've defended Harry on here to the hilt, but that is absolutely fudging ridiculous. He needs to go.

I absolutely understand looking out for number 1 in life. Very few successful people get to the top/elite level of their professional without doing just that. I even agree with what he is saying in that interview. I've said as much on here. You can't let him go into the final year, because it creates all the uncertainty that we just dealt with this season.

But what he has basically done there, is admit total fault for our failure to claim 3rd, which we should have done. He has admitted that the players had uncertainty last season, and that it effects performances. In effect, he is saying that if he decided to say that the England speculation was a load of rubbish, that he had no interest in leaving Spurs when he has put the club to the brink of it's first title challenge in decades, and that he wanted to carry on with the job he had started, our chances of getting 3rd would have been much greater. But he didn't do that. He looked out for number 1, and fudged us. Maybe that wasn't his intention. Infact I'm sure it wasn't. I'm sure he hoped that we had a big enough gap that we would still get 3rd, and all would be fine. But it blew up in his face.

I want him out now. A good record, but it could have been a lot better, and Harry has basically admitted as such there. How can Levy give him a new contract after Harry has said that? And I bet some of the players will be putting those quotes together and coming to the same conclusion, that he ballsed it up. It may not be a case of needing a longer contract to get their respect anymore, he may have lost it all together.

Get him out, and get a manager that we actually want to be at this club. Please. End it. For fudges sake. Argh. I'm so frustrated, because it's making me think of what this season could have been. It's making me remember how much fun it was watching Spurs from September-January. And then it's making me remember the utter dissapointment and bemusement as we managed to completely fudge it up. My only hope is that Levy doesn't decide to think 'Must have a longer contract hey? We'll see about that!' and decide to keep Harry on without giving him an extention to prove a point. Because Harry is right about that. But I'd hope Levy is too in tune with what is best for the club to do something as effectively spiteful as that.

Get Harry out, and bring in AVB before he goes to Roma.

Sorry steff, I never left out Birkinshaw intentionally, I was just focusing on the point that Mr Ma Nuggets made by saying that Harry has delivered more since Bill Nic. Which of course is a fudging baffling thing to come out with.

Mate...this was NOT a response to you at all...it was a response to those who claim Redknapp is our most "successful" manager since Sir Bill...

Massive c u n t. I fear for your health should we ever meet. Talk about my kid ever again and I'll fudging ruin you.
 
To add I'm responding to direct personal abuse there and a vile attempt to rile me based on bringing up my kid. Poncy **** with a fudging gay haircut needs to fudge right off with that brick.
 
I've always believed the bookes to be the true ITKs or at the very least - not to be taken lightly

Mind you, I'd be petrified if Moyes took over - side-step at best! It's trench-coat man or no one!
