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 bet Dan Ashcroft will pop open a bottle of champagne over this news.
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.
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.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!
