`Arry Out, Guus In For Tottenham...

[StartingPrice]

The point I'm making is not that they don't make money available, is that if failing to get CL this season was seen as a missed opportunity, they would perhaps have been more aggressive in the transfer market.

But with who, Jimmy? It seems that very few players of any quality at all were actually available.It took Real £80 million and the best part of 3 years to bully United into selling Roanldo. What, comparative, could we have done in one transfer window to acquire better than we had (or got in Jan.)? I, like many on here, just don't see it.

Well as far I know Harry has got the players he wanted. He hasn't come out and said I wanted x player but Levy said no.

There was Sandro - but that wasn't down to Levy. In fact, I believe that both them were seriously depending on this one being completed.

The whole Sandro thing just reminded me of the time Eriksson was supposed to go to Blackburn but didn't. I never believed Sandro would end with us. I am sure there are other players on their shortlist.

clearly mad - can you not see that one reason top clubs are top clubs is that they do not change manager every 10 minutes

Real Madrid and Chelsea do. :think:

I've always been a bit indifferent to Redknapp.

Although, if he was to be sacked anytime soon it would rank as one of the worst decisions taken by a football club. The guy has got us in a respectable positon challenging on two fronts.

Come on, he's hardly Juande is he?

 

[Yiddo1982]

This is the most pointless thread and born from the many idiots who quote 'that boy Tarabbt must start every game', 'Why doesn't Gio start?' = lunatics.
So many so called Spurs fans sit at home and comment without even seeing us play.

FFS we won 9-1. We are 1 point off 4th place after 25 games. Yes we lost to Wolves and Stoke but Chelski have lost to Wigan and Manure have lost to Burnley. It happens. Thats why the Premier League is the best in the world. Nothing is a given.

Redknapp is the best thing to have happened to Spurs for years. No player slags him off, they all seem to be happy and he gets rid of the rubbish.

He is building a great side and I am already looking forward to how far we can progress next season.

Again our defence is solid. In the league we have only conceded 8 goals at home (last season we only conceded 5 under Redknapp).
Our away form is better than it has been for years.

The long ball to Crouch has only been since Lennon has been out as we don't have the pace on the wings to get behind defences at the moment. When Lennon returns it will be back to the fast moving pace of earlier in the season.

Short memories and unrealistic thoughts.

Get rid of Redknaop - nah get rid of you. Go and support someone else.

I have already said countless fucking times that I am not pushing for Redknapp to be sacked now. If you want to comment why don't you take the time to read what's being said. 90% of people commenting haven't fucking bothered, but are happy to spout shit.

I have come to the opinion, which I am entitled to give, that he is a limited manager. I also think we could, I reiterate could, have done better with a better tactician this season, which incidently, is/was our best chance in a long time to achieve a top four finish.

And then you say "go support someone else". I tell you what, pal, I have cried tears of joy supporting Spurs, tears of dissappointment too. More than once. I have spent thousands going to games, bought dozens of kits, I have sat in every weekend for the last five years watching us on some shitty stream with French commentary, got ridiculed constantly throughout school for my choice of football team. I have sat watching the Champions League every week praying that one day my team will get to play in that elite competition, with the players that our tradition deserves.

I love Tottenham Hotspur. I bet Harry Redknapp doesn't. He doesn't give a shit, he is in it for the money. He's proved more than once there is no sentiment in football, and he's a fucking crook to boot. I'm not being disloyal for saying Redknapp is limited, that's my choice, whether it's in one, two or three years time I will remind you of this thread. So, no, I won't go and support someone else, you tit.

And for the record: Taarabt? No. But Gio? I would have thrown him on for the last twenty minutes against Liverpool, with his pace. He probably would have torn Carragher to shreds, who was already limping. But we decided to play with no width, and throw Keane on instead, whilst using our last sub replacing King because of his biscuit knees, when we should have started with Bassong in the first place (Him and Dawson kept three clean sheets in a row before that game). Just a couple of Redknapp's mistakes.

We cant just keep bringing players in all the time. There has to be a balance of players in and out to keep the books balanced.

nice :clap:

no one wants him sacked but the way people act on this forum sometimes is fucking clownshoes! excuse my french. if you even question someones favourtie player or god forbid the manager you get attacked. a forum is the place to raise questions, ideas and opinions even if they arent shared by everyone else

Not that old chestnut, again. The squad, under the DOF system, was built by Frank Arnesen, and, to a greater degree, by Damien Comolli. Every time folk wanted to have a go about Comolli they said the squad wasn't good enough; the same folk would then applaud the players in the 'squad' that Martin Jol/Juande Ramos had built. The squad we have now was is primarily the one built by Damien Comolli. it had its flaws, and 'Arry had to fill it out in certain seriously underdeveloped, or just misconceived, areas. But Martin Jol did not develop a squad at all. And, jsut for the record, Damien Comolli was sacked because it was on his insistent advice that Wandery Ramos was hired and BMJ fired - and, at the time, Levy said, ineffect 'on your head be it', and it was.



I have quoted this thread as well for exactly the same reason. If all of the managers quoted above wold have done better with today's squad, then some of the credit for that has to go to much maligned DOF system (although, as I said above, 'Arry filled the squad out in key areas.

I must be getting soft in the head, but SP, I cannot fault your opinion here as I also agree.

Anyway after reading the various posts for / against Harry, I believe we should give him time and see. I was never a fan of his and there are parts about his management I dont like. His numerous and bland commentary on the box, his seemingly lack of ideas when we are against the cosh etc, but ................I do like the position we are in and the way we have played to get there. So I am all for giving him time.

 

[hybridsoldier]

I think Harry has done fantastic and is a good coach...but seriously if we had even a 5% chance of Hiddink I would snatch it with no hesitation.

He is one of the best coaches of the world and did a great job at Chelski very very quickly (OK who wouldnt with that squad)

never ever ever ever gnna happen...ever

 

[TheWaddler]

I don't want Harry to go, but even if he were to go, I don't see Hiddink as a long term solution. Getting rid of your 62 year old manager and bringing in a guy who is actually a year older isn't planning for the future IMO. Mourinho I could understand a little more, as he could build a dynasty, but Harry is doing a fine job, and the grass isn't always greener.

 

[SelbYido]

I'm sure others have already said this but if I've learnt anything in my 20-odd years as a Spurs fan, its that changing our manager every 18 months (ie. every time we have a bad run of results) has been the most destructive trend in our recent history. Every other season is a "period of transition". These periods are acceptable provided the team (playing & coaching) is allowed to complete the transition...

...Spotted a pattern yet...?

Basically, if we were to sack Harry Redknapp we would doubtlessly spend another 18 months 'building a team' only to find that the 'replacemant-for-the-replacement-for-the-replacement' is not a deal better than the manager we already had...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a blind fanboy but 6th place (with the potential to finish 4th) in one of the most open top flight seasons in my lifetime is not a good enough reason to throw away all of the hard work & progress we have made under Harry.

Keep the faith...COYS!

[Son_Of]

if harry were to leave (or go to jail!) hiddink would be a top drawer replacement. but otherwise, honestly no i'd stick with harry. give him at least another summer window and a whole season with that squad

 

[Tottenham_OZpur]

Hiddink wouldn't be my first choice, would rather Jose

whatever happens, Harry shouldn't be replaced at minimum until the end of the season and only if a replacement becomes available that is too good to turn down, ie Jose

would be crazy to at least not explore the possibility if he is available

if the above situation doesn't happen, I would expect Harry to be the manager next season, no point replacing him with someone who isnt an improvement

 

[THOWIG]

I'm more intrigued about some of the younger premiership managers like Coyle and Martinez. Let's see how they develop.

 

[Luka Lennon]

this thread is depressing

Jose or Hiddink eh wtf :rofl:

we're Tottenham not chelski or manure

better tactician like Juande Ramos ffs

I'm as pissed as anyone with how our season is panning out but a bit of stability would be nice like 3 or 4 seasons with the same manager to build a proper team instead of endless transition seasons

alot of our fans heads are stuck so far up their own smart arses they can't tell day from night
