Maybe 'Arry could stop all these pointless injuries to our players while they are off on international duty......
let's face it Capello was a flop at the WC and while this new England team looks better, that was a hell of a price for Spurs to have to pay for righting the Italian's mistakes in the first place.
Defoe and Dawson gone for two months!!!!!!!! This is simply ridiculous and inexcusable. Now 'Arry wants to leave us for the same job....this is maddening!!!!!
:evil::evil::evil::evil:

Oliver Holt, is that you?

What would you have done differently? Refused any Spurs player to play for their country? That'll have new signings queuing round the block won't it?

England were a flop at the WC (although better than France and Italy), Capello seems to have learned something about how to right that, though. Fingers crossed.

We're all frustrated about JD and Daws but how exactly is it "inexusable". I can't work out how anyone would accept blame for this situation, let alone endeavour to excuse themselves from it.

Besides, the quotes in the piece hardly stack up to Harry saying he wants to leave Tottenham. He semi-diplomatically agrees that England is a huge job and he'd be honoured to be considered. He is too long in the tooth to fall for this bollocks. Or to disrespect the FA, his national side, and the many supporters who follow England.

Should he have said "Nah, guvnor, fark off. I'm not a farking national team boss or a wheeler-dealer. I'm a Spurs manager, inn I?" :shrug:

Redknapp please please please SHUT UP!!!!!

I'd wish him good luck - it's clearly an ambition of his, and it'd be his last job I reckon.

Come 2012, Harry out with all our best wishes, Mourinho in

I wouldn't be happy about it although I can understand how he feels.

We need a manager who stays and gives the club and players stability.

He'll be 65 in 2012 and has already said he will probably retire around then so is this really a big deal? He will have been at the club for about 5 seasons by then which for Spurs is quite a long time!
And as dickyid said above this will be perfect timing for Jose to come in as the replacement

Nothing new here. I think we can move on. They ask. He answers. Same answer as last time, almost word for word.

Harry - "it would be hard to turn it down "

Journo - "Harry Redknapp admitted again today he would find it impossible to turn down England ..."

As much as I'd like 'Arry to stay on for a good while at Tottenham should he be offered the Engalnd job in 2012 he'd be right to take it because as he says it's the maximum honour for an English manager.
Consequently that gives him 2 seasons to consolidate our top 4 billing along with Champions League football. Then perhaps we can dream of Mourinho coming back to the Premier league to manage us and not Man Ure.

Martin Jol for me:grin:

yes. that's what i would most like him to say. "why would i want the england job? i've got a better job now at a fantastic club. one more thing, i'm going to try my best to talk all the players at spurs into retiring from international football".

Harry is in pole position. Can't see anyone apart from Hodgson, getting the nod.

It's not a big secret that Harry has wanted the England job for some time now, and the Spurs job would have been a nice step for him to get it (high profile club with large contingent of English players etc).

I think it would be self-delusional to believe that he would have rejected the England job last year or even now, with a package at least similar or higher than what he gets at Spurs, if offered. He clearly was very annoyed to have been overlooked because of his legal troubles when FA appointed Capello; he has been repeatedly blowing the trumpet for British coaches, pointing to people like Pulis, Allardyce etc when he really meant himself; he has never denied his interest in the job.

And one can fully understand him. This would be the ultimate job for someone like him, and would let him work with the best English players that he could choose without his chairman's influence, working at his own pace.

The question is who should be the next Tottenham Manager. I'd love to see Hoddle back with financial backing from our board.

Surely England can do better than these two boxing promoters. Harry is the obvious choice but 2012 is two years away, if we have some solid success between now and then, he may not want the aggravation and scrutiny that goes with the England job. It also means that we have two years to get Tim Sherwood or Clive Allen ready for the task, or at least two years to get seen in a Spanish hotel talking to Jose behind Harry's back, but we just don't do things like that at Spurs.

from the bbc article:

"If you've got good players, managing England wouldn't be that difficult."

brilliant quote.

Wut? No.

Jose or Jol.

Sure, I'll admit I went on a bit of a rant!
I'm an ignorant yank/argentine so you'll have to bear with me-however.... Oliver Holt, que? Not sure who he is.
Sure my comments are born out of frustration, if nothing else. Of course players like Defoe and Daws are frothing at the bit to make their mark in the International arena. That's natural for players of their calibre. It's just such a shame that now our squad is that much thinner and less effective due to the injuries they sustained while on international duty. And- to add insult to injury- now 'Arry says he wants Capello's job.
I get it- I was wound up by it all!
BTW- Capello is very highly regarded over here in the Untied Skates, and I wouldn't be surprised if he landed here after his stint in the UK is over.
COYS!!!!!!!

This is our trouble, we need a man in charge who we will stick with for at least 10yrs, how can we get consistancy if we changes managers avery 1, 2 or 3 yrs. We always seem to be building and then building again with a different manager.

Get Moyes and give him the job for good, through building times and after.
