Some of the Bundesliga managers are doing pretty good, wouldnt mind one of them trying here if harry decides to go.

Klopp is obviously out of question cause I think he will stay with Dortmund for many years to come. But Slomka did great things with Hannover and Favre with Mönchengladbach as well, their teams have no stars at all but both managed to put alot of discipline into the players and improve on some points where needed. Tactically they are great IMO.

Edit: Oh and Favre can convince Reus to come with him :grin:

As an international manager he has a duty to spend his weekends scouting England players at games all over the country. It would be nigh on impossible for him to spend enough time watching players if every weekend he took out one of Saturday or Sunday to manage Spurs, and also take part in training throughout the week. Also, during an international break he would simply abandon those who do not play at international level, such as Gallas, Rose, King, Friedel and a contingent of the English players like JD, Lennon or Hudd.

The biggest problem with sharing a club and international job is when you start to lose matches after international breaks. As soon as that happens the questions about taking your eye of the club job start and it become untenable.

I bet Dan Ashcroft will pop open a bottle of champagne over this news.
Tbf in the event of us needing to replace Redknapp for one reason or another (which I would rather was not necessitated btw), I would be happy with the appointment of Ancelotti.

I wasn't being entirely serious about Harry taking the job part-time. Nevertheless, you do have to ask what an England manager actually does for the shedload of money he gets paid.

Perhaps Ancelotti would like to take it on!

Oh, I agree that being an international manager is certainly far less laborious than being a club manager. My point was that managing both at once would be nigh-on impossible to do to a satisfactory level.

It would depend, I guess, on the quality of the deputies at the club. I agree, there would be considerable difficulties, but the biggest problem, surely, would be getting the blazers to admit the job wasn't really that demanding.
