How do you explain Whinger?

Maybe him and Moyes just genuinely believe that this constant hounding of our manager at this vital time of the season is ethically wrong...after all, what can happen to us over this could happen to them over something else on another occassion.

I wasn't saying there was no possibility that you could be right for Moyes - maybe he did say it with one eye on 'Arry's job. Just that it is not 100% of managers jumping on this bandwagon, and their motivations aren't transparent.

"Full respect to Moyes badgered by reporter asking questions about Redknapp/England..he repeatedly said: It's disrespectful he is TH manager"

Is this Moyes getting in Levy's good books?!

As much as I hate to say it, I reckon he's off.

Being fair to Moyes, he always refuses to venture in to speculation like this.

Exactly. Top man, and always comes across as one. I wouldn't want him to succeed Harry if he left, but we could also do a lot worse. I imagine he's one of the most respected managers amongst other managers, players and fans.

Moyes would be around 5th or 6th choice for me but he has qualities that could definitely benefit us.

Agree Bomber, not my first chance but a long way off my last choice as well.

The poll: this is a bee/bonnet situation for me, being someone who has worked part-time for a multitude of different employers and clients over periods ranging from 6 to 16 years, but perhaps people someday will stop confusing "full time v. part time" with "temporary v. permanent".

The poll choices that refer to Redknapp managing England "full time" are really referring to him managing England "permanently".

It's particularly relevant in this case, because the option of managing England "part time" (i.e., managing Spurs part time and managing England part time) is available, although unlikely - but the way the poll is phrased, the references to "full time" clearly mean "permanently".

As respectful as the guy is, he would be down my list unfortunately, as I just do not believe he would be a big enough personality to keep the likes of Modric and Bale at the club long term.

We absolutely need to bring a manager with a huge reputation next to ensure we do take two steps backwards just because Redknapp has moved on.

Might have already been posted but does anyone know when the final squad for the euros has to be announced by ?. If its after the end of the season then there's no reason for Harry to have to do anything until season is over, if he gets the job and accepts it of course.

Easy. You could just tell me what the article is about?

I take u mean at the end of the season?! No way he would walk out on us now, in the position we are in.

What can he do for England between now and May, taking into account that pearce will b in charge for Holland.

nipponyid · Feb 11, 2012

Think Harry would be crazy Not to take the England job (end of season & just for euro's) at his age and time of his career....He'll never get another chance and what Englishman wouldn't be proud to lead the national team...I wouldn't have any problems with that.

Would like to see him return for next season, but failing that hope DL has a plan B and a cheeky tap up of Jose..

It dates back 15 years when Pearce racially abused Paul Ince on the football field, Pearce deeply regrets what he said and it hasn't been mentioned since until the press decided to dig it up in light of what is happening with John Terry.

Lennon,Defoe,king,Dawson,Walker,livermore and Parker captain....then i think Harry is definately off...

Harry staying at Spurs for now - but reading the quotes I'd say he is going to manage England for the Euro's

http://www.football365.com/news/21554/7505046/Harry-staying-at-Spurs-for-now?

Harry Redknapp intends to see out the remainder of the season with Tottenham, despite being overwhelming favourite to take charge of England.

Redknapp is the overwhelming favourite to replace Fabio Capello as England boss and it appears only a matter of time before he receives an official approach from the Football Association.

However, with Stuart Pearce confirmed as caretaker boss for this month's friendly against Holland, there is no immediate rush to make an appointment.

And with no games to play until two weeks after the Premier League season has finished, there must be a chance Redknapp will be allowed to remain with Spurs to try to engineer a successful conclusion to a stellar campaign so far.

"I hope so," said Redknapp. I'd be very surprised if I didn't finish the season with Tottenham, that's for sure.

"I haven't thought about not being here at the end of the season and I've got no idea why I shouldn't."

It does seem like a plausible scenario, which would allow Redknapp to take over England duties for the friendlies against Norway and Belgium, then into a Euro 2012 campaign the majority of planning for has already been completed.

Redknapp has admitted to uncertainty over whether the England job could be done part-time.

However, in these circumstances, it is difficult to see why not, if Redknapp wants the job.

"I don't think you ever think you're going to be in a position (where you will be appointed manager)," he said.

"I haven't got a big ego. There have been cleverer boys about than me who haven't had the opportunities I've had.

"I've been lucky to have the opportunities and I've done well when I've had them.

"But whilst it is flattering to be mentioned at the moment, I never think I should be doing this or that."

The fact Redknapp is the people's choice is inescapable.

He would only have to turn on the radio during his three-hour trip from Dorset to Tottenham's Spurs Lodge training ground to know that.

Going right back to Sir Alf Ramsey's time, no-one would have come into the job on such a wave of goodwill as Redknapp.

If he masterminded a triumph at Euro 2012, he would get all the credit. Should it all go wrong, Fabio Capello will receive the blame.

However, Redknapp has been around for far too long to be drawn into the belief that he is untouchable.

"Let's not kid ourselves, it is aggro," he said.

"You know what's coming. There has been a lot of great managers and when someone like Capello finds it hard going, it has got to be hard going and no-one likes personal abuse, do they?

"Everybody always thinks they can pick a better team than the manager, so you have to make sure your team wins then no-one can argue with you.

"But if you get beaten, you've got a problem."

In fairness to Capello, he came closer to squaring that circle than most, and it still wasn't enough.

He quickly noted a lack of confidence in his players too, something FA chairman David Bernstein noted on Friday had not been solved, and which Redknapp himself has now made reference to.

"They do go into their shells a bit," he said.

"You wonder sometimes whether you'd rather see the games played at Old Trafford or Anfield where there's an atmosphere and it's intimidating. I've often thought that.

"Wembley is a showpiece stadium, with open pitch and it's not quite the same."

It seems Redknapp's plan would be to massage the egos.

As jocular as his approach seems to be, he has mastered the art of getting the most from his players, which does not just happen with a laugh and a joke.

Capello tried the disciplined method, which met with resistance.

Redknapp uses his own example to show that words of praise may get better results.

"England have got great players, it's about getting the best out of them," he said.

"It's the same for everyone. If the editor is telling you you're doing a great job, you feel good. If he keeps telling you you are rubbish, it's murder. Your confidence goes.

"We all want a pat on the back.

"I want the chairman to say 'well done' to me. I love it if he says 'Harry, you aren't half doing a good job for us'."
