If the new manager fails I expect every single one of you who have bashed Redknapp over the past few months to retract statements. Going to be incredibly irritating if we don't hit the ground running (which we won't) for you all to turn round and say 'WAHH WE HAD IT BETTER BEFORE.' No doubt that won't stop some of you though.
This is a bad decision. Really upset if it's true.

Yep. Just posted RO and emailed Arch as had a number of calls and texts - even one of them is a footballer!

If true this should break in the next hour in media. Too many people know Harry working for the papers!

arry fucked off when we was sitting pretty in third to suck the balls of the FA, who then treated him like a cheap slapper and didn't pay up. He completely disrespected the club for months, it is not just about a better manager, it is about a manger who has respect for this club, sticks to the job he is paid for, there are so many issues with him far to many to list and nothing that I or anyone has said a 1000 times before
He has done a good job at the club, shame he just had no class about him when the England job came along. He only has himself to blame, he fucked us to suck sweaty FA donkey balls. Now he has nothing (If he has left.... please please please)

Without him we would have been no where near 3rd in the first place.
He did not handle the England debacle well. Neither did England. Did they once come out to say he wouldn't get the job? No, they let him believe and then appointed someone seemingly out of the blue. What would you have done if you'd have been offered your dream job?
And when did it all become Harry's fault? Bale played out of position for months, ruining everything. Modric underperformed drastically. Ade disappeared. You can't blame Harry for everything.
Who do you want to come in then?

Hopefully it doesn't change anything with Vertonghen. He's always spoke about the club first. I think he mentioned Redknapp once or twice in passing.

Can't see any other manager available at the moment that would do a job with us as well as Harry has. Unless somehow by some miracle, Levy convinces Pep to become our manager.

Quite a sad state of affairs when a newly promoted inexperienced manager (who wasn't even the best newly promoted inexperienced manager last year) is apparently a better prospect then someone constantly punching above their clubs weight for the better part of a decade because 'their football wooks pwetty.'

Very very sad news if true.A posting i had made a while ago seems particularly relevant.
As for the negative posters on here - there seems to be a remarkable anti- Harry brigade. This is the man who has us playing the best football we have played since the premier league began, he has us competing against teams that have spent hundreds of millions of pounds, he is the reason for players like VDV, Gallas, Kaboul, Adbayor playing for us and he is the reason for us beating Milan at the San Siro and Inter at the Lane The fact that he sounds like Del boy Trotter and this wheeler dealer image that the media has painted (for his transfer dealings with clubs with nearly empty coffers) has resulted in everyone branding him tactically naive. This is a man who has been successful with almost every club he has been at and has experienced working with some of the legends of English football. In my view, he deserves nothing but respect. With Dan Levy backing him, and some shrewd dealings in the transfer market this summer, we will be back again.
What I dont understand is some of the alternatives proposed - what makes people think that Brendan Rogers will be more successfull than Harry. What are the other alternatives? - Glenn Hoddle (are you serious!?!? - every single player he managed seems to have had some issue with him. George Graham, Sven Erickson, Rafa fcking Benitez , AVB) - see my point. Harry has us playing the Tottenham way and we pushing up the table - Ive supported Spurs since 91 and we have been crap for most of the time since then. Long may Harry continue

If the news is true that 'Arry's been canned then we should now prepare ourselves for a couple years of adjustment (dropping down the league table) while whoever is brought in adapts to several players leaving, no C.L. footie to motivate other top end players to replace them, etc etc.
I fully agree that the club is bigger than any one person but D.L's learning curve is sure taking a long, long time as ENIC have now been in charge for over 10 years and what do we have to show for their involvement, apart from a new training pitch about to be open sometime this year?

I think that is an incredibly harsh statement. The training centre is one of the biggest step forwards the club has made in my lifetime. We may all focus on the new stadium, because it is more glamorous, and generates funds, but day-to-day a top class training centre will make a huge difference. The players go to the stadium once every couple of weeks, they go to the training centre almost every day.
On top of that Levy has improved all aspects of the club, and I doubt sacking Harry will be something he took lightly. Wed don't know the ins and outs, but they both have previous of falling out with their counterparts, Levy with Hoddle and Jol, Harry everywhere he's been.
