talk SPORT - Harry Redknapp discussing Luka Modric - Now 16:08

[Spurs_Bear]

This and what Nads said is true. Fair enough, managers don't usually stick their own necks out, but they usually have the good sense to keep their heads below the parapet. Harry on the other hand comes out blasting all and sundry. Man City spend loads, best season we've ever had, good as it gets for little ol' Tottenham, go and support another team, ad infinitum. The man's mouth cannot be stopped.


Thanks for telling us where you stopped reading ryan (basically any dissenting opinion). No one cares...

People do care. You're teaming up with BC? Good luck with that sunshine :lol:

Are you actually capable of proffering an opinion, S_B, or just swanning about telling people their opinions are shit, as you've done multiple times in this thread. Of course that would require an original thought entering your head.

I'm not teaming up with anybody, this is not a playground. I write my opinion, then bugger off.

And, no, i don't think anybody cares when somebody stops reading somebody else's post. Completely useless information in lieu of a reasoned response. Again, if the person's capable of such a thing.

No I'm only capable of telling people their opinions are shit. You could call
me the busy **** of Spurs Community I guess.

Sometimes when people write shite they don't deserve a response, as what's the point?

All you've done so far is re-write an interview to suit your own agenda, you're not even using things that happened, just making stuff up. When you do put forward a response, I'm sure you'll get a lot more friendly responses from people.

Hard to take your and BC's opinions seriously when both of you merely offer pre-meditated trashings of a manager who is statistically our most successful in over 50 years (points per game). But yeah, that is not good enough because he talks shite in interviews, or some no-mark on a forum has a bee in his bonnet that the guy can't coach footballers. It is laughable.

Are you for real? I posted a direct quote. I didn't doctor it in anyway. You're free to interpret it in any way you like. But that you say it's "making stuff up" belies the fact you're unwilling to acknowledge anything beyond your own myopia.

You said yourself when people write shit they don't deserve a response. Here's a hint, when you hit submit reply, no matter what it says, that's a response. Take your own advice.

Anyone remember when Kevin Keegan was at Newcastle (the first time), and he spat his dummy out because the chairman wasn't backing him by investing in the team and so he walked out, only to be contacted on his journey up the motorway and informed that the chairman had caved in and he went back to Newcastle?

Things like that tend not to happen now because getting the opportunity to manage a team in the premier league is very difficult and the club owners pretty much have all the power.

'Arry's 'hard done to' PR waffling gets on my nerves as much as the next man, however there is some merrit in using those situations to challenge the clubs ambition sometimes.

Every manager would like a blank cheque to go and spend and 'Arry is no different. What concerns me though is the likes of Liverpool seem to be very proactive in the transfer market this window - principally because they have to be to catch up - however I don't understand why we're not taking a similar approach, and perhaps these little jabs from 'Arry is just reflective of his frustration in thie area too?

Levy has show that he is willing to spend money but unlike Harry he also has to balance the books. We need to get some players off of the wage bill in order to spend that money on new players. In general I agree with you that Harry does use these situations to challenge Levy but he also uses them to ensure that he come sup smelling of roses and I also feel that part of his frustration is that he isn't in control of player transfers.

If we gave 'Arry a blank cheque to spend we would end up with Neville, Parker, Carlton and Joe Cole.

I don't think our club's ambition needs to be challenged. I think Levy and co are incredibly ambitious, just not reckless. I think most of the forum would be furious if we just went out early doors and blew 20m on Henderson. Softly, softly, catchee monkey. Although you're right, we can't dither like we have done in the past. It's a tough balancing act, and that's when you've freed up squad space, which we haven't yet. All in all, I'm glad Levy keeps a guiding hand on all transfers, now more so than ever.

All in all, I'm glad Levy keeps a guiding hand on all transfers, now more so than ever.

The moral of the story is, he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

The important part, I wish Spurs fans would realise fully (and it might make them calm down a bit), is that Dan Levy is immensely ambitious. His stated aim when he took over was that he wants to make us amongst the biggest hitters in English football and bring back occasions like the unveiling of Ardiles and Villa in Spurs shirts at WHL (some of us can remember dizzying occasions like that). He was very high flying, but very young, when he took over, so time has been on his side, and he has been learning all the time.
Essentially, he has gone a long way in achieving his aim. Some folk lose sight of the fact that we have finished above Liverpool two seasons running, now, and are within an ace of overturning the humiliation of St Totteringham Day. If it wasn't for the gross sledgehammer of Citeh's Sheikh money, we wouldhave finished in a CL for a second year running, as well (okay, I'm not starting another argument about whether we blew it - we did, just stating an absolute), because you can bet a Dime to a Dollar, there is absolutely no way Citeh would have finished above us, or Liverpool, without that money.
He isn't going to give up on his ambitions, now, just becuase it is not fair that Citeh got that windfall, and run off boohooing to Mr Lewis.

I repeat, Daniel Levy is very ambition - I don't mind folk challenging details, but to challange this is beyond just flat wrong.

Link to the interview this morning, he was more calm this time.

 

[Mullers]

His own hype is that we are gaining the most points per game since the double season. He may not be round, cuddly and full of shite like Jol but he has delivered where it matters most, in the results department.

If anyone is full of shite, its Redknapp he blames everybody but himself for results. He hasn't always delivered either. League cup final against Man U, FA cup semi against portsmouth and this season where we had a great opportunity to finish top four again.

 

[Damian99]

:lol:



I'm pretty sure what you meant to say was...."busy ****".

If only we had one or two more "busy ****s" we would win the league?

And Ramos in charge of those "busy ****s" of course.

 

[rich75]

How many times is this going to come up? Every single manager blames all and sundry for a bad result. How many times a season do you see a manager come out after a game and say" My fault, I fucked up" ? Once maybe twice?

And it's frankly bollocks to sit their having a dig for not beating United in the league cup final. Do remind me just when the last time was that we beat them?

It's just so fucking irritating. You can have a moan about not making top four, or the pompey game, fine, there are points to be made there that are valid but then you , and plenty of others on this site, just go and make their opinion utterly redundant by shoving in a half baked , ill thought out bunch of crap as well.

Edit,:

Not to mention the utter fucking myopia of whinging about the CC final whilst ignoring winning away at Arsenal. Does the bloke have to walk on water before you stop bitching?

I thought a busy **** was an unflattering Liverpudlian euphemism for the police:shrug:

What VDV said must have had you splitting your sides then.

So are you telling me that you thought before Redknapp arrived here you thought he was great manager. An over achiever ?

Y-O-U apostrophe R-E sunshine. Come on.

 

[Matrix]

fair play didnt know that. either way, its irrelevant now as we aint got him and as said, only time will tell if he is good enough. to many people all over him as if he has already made it, when all he has done is made a good start to his anfield career. was a lot of £££ and we werent willing to risk that much on someone who wasnt proven - time will tell if that was the wrong decision

He might not have scored many at the moment, but his movement and vision to bring the midfield into play are second to none. He shows more movement then all our strikers would show on MDMA in a trance rave..
