Now I'm even more confused...why was I gonna spout on about it when it's not something I was familiar with?
I see the Chelsea speculation has started up again tonight, a source close to RA claiming Harry is on his short list!
You couldn't make this shit up, not even 24 hours since Hodgson being approached for England and the media are like....next!
Get the next two weeks out of the way, then Levy has a big decision to make. One thing is for sure, if Harry is to stay he needs to totally commit and dismiss all other speculation instantly and emphaitically.
No to that and its jog on IMO. We need stability and an environment that allows us to progress, not being constantly unsettled where our manager is bigger than the Club.
Deal, two sets of eyes proof-reading these things is always advisable.Do you need me to help drive them there....please

Just reading my post that you replied to. W-T-F is turnlence? I am fail.If a team has that many problems .....................the best thing to do is replace the manager because he is responsible for them.
Indeed. I'd hope Levy was like that anyway and not so reactive that he'd potentially not make such a move due to circumstances. If a guy who Levy believes is available and what we need here over and above Redknapp then press the button and tip old H into the tank full of sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
As mentioned, I believe the correct thing to do is let Harry's contract run it's course we don't need to rock the ship that was only going to be the case if Harry went to England we now have to be calm.
At Boardroom level they should be very frank with Harry and let him know our intention...the only thing, suppose Harry wins the leauge next season? then what. Maybe a role on contract.
Without wanting to sound like a Harry hater (which i'm not) - i do think that Harry gets a lot of credit when he has some of the best players in the PL at his disposal.
Walker, Modric, Bale & VdV would walk into any first team in the premier league right now. And Kaboul, Ekotto, Parker, Sandro, Friedal and Adebayor would walk into any first team below 5th place.
Then you look at the likes of King, Lennon, Gallas and Defoe and you've got an excellent set of players there too that again would get into any first team below about 7th or 8th without a problem.
So really we have a set of players, by and large that SHOULD be challenging for top 4 every season.
I'm not saying that Harry hasn't done a great job with us on the whole - he has, but anything less than challenging for 4th is a failure with our current crop, and i believe that there are quite a few managers out there that could manage that and potentially add a few signings to that list that could give us the edge to push on even further!
They certainly did. Crouch played most of the season, scored the winner at City. Bassong was a regular, as was Palacios. Defoe came in and played his part.
Keane was more influential in steadying the ship for us the season before.
I like watching football when Spurs have an exciting team, challenging for the CL league spots.
Two more games to go, then, hopefully, a huge CL league final to watch.
Let's all take a break and reconvene after that
If that's the calibre of players that you want at Spurs and for big money too, then you must be delighted that Harry isn't leaving us.
