Oh yeah "doing well" ... but we'd never finished higher than 5th hadn't we? tinkling around in the Europa League.
Under Redknapp, we've never finished lower than 5th; finishing 4th twice. To that end, he raised the bar that those before him never could. There's incredible competition to finish 4th, and yet Redknapp has achieved the feat twice, and by not spending a great deal of money. Everyone around us ejaculating hundreds of millions on fees and wages, and yet Harry Redknapp spends a pittance - yet achieves objectives.
Look at how acute the risks are here mate: we don't have the headroom to fudge up like other clubs can. If we make a rick, we're fudged and it sets us back years. If most other clubs around us make a balls-up, they just wheel out their financial tanks to sort it.
But hey, maybe Levy thinks football management is a walk in the park? Maybe he thinks any old mug can just rock-up and win football matches? Pity it's taken him so fudging long to find a manager who could actually do that.
