Ah ok. Shit.

I was sure there was someone high up in either the Premier League or the FA that supported us.

Levy needs to talk to HR asap and make a joint statement.

There's no conspiracy within the media. Redknapp is the only obvious choice and several England players have already come out saying he should get it.

I don't see why a caretaker manager can't take the job until the summer then HR takes over for the summer only.

They absolutely, categorically, should not have.
That fecking Gecko Rooney should have kept his big mouth SHUT. He is massively high-profile within the England team. He has basically incited the FA to unsettle the manager of a team challenging his club at the top of the EPL. And given his profile and the desperation the FA have to keep players like him happy, how does that not put pressure on the FA to do just that. How on Gawd's green Earth can that be ethically acceptable. He should be disciplined.

Glenn Hoddle.

He's just been on Talksport and i still believe that he deserves another shot and, given a little room to operate without the redtops taking the piss at every opportunity, i think he could really bring something exciting back to our national team.

Bring back Glenn!

If Harry leaves mid season, Glenn as caretaker. With this squad I'd have faith he'd do well, he the 98 England team playing very well I think the problem with us was he had a lot of injuries and unreliable players ie. Ferdinand and Anderton.

He is a great coach but a disastrous man manager

This thread would be embarrassing if it wasn't so funny :razz:

What a bunch of fishwives some of you are, squawking and tearing your hair out over, relatively speaking, fuck all.

Nothing's changed!!! Nothing :lol:

Everyone knew Capello was leaving after the Euros, everyone knew Redknapp would be offered the job. People would have been speculating.

Ok this might be a minor distraction, but it's really is fucking minor.

Harry will not take the job until the end of the season and then he will.

The FA will have Pearce and Brooking take whatever friendlies we have between now and then (maybe they'll privately consult with Redknapp), the FA will announce they've deferred any decision on the next manager until the end of the season or Redknapp will openly declare that he'll take it in agreement with Levy et al.

Whichever it is won't effect us one jot. The players will be just as determined, Harry will be just as determined. If anything they'll be more determined, because these last few games will be about Harry's legacy to us and the players will want to send Harry off on a high, quite apart from their natural desire to win, which will of course be undiminished a single iota by this.

It should also be noted that the Jan transfer Window should have given everyone a big clue about what was going to happen, so far the club and Harry have been managing the unspoken truth of what was going to happen at the end of the season quite well, but it would have been difficult to go on like that indefinitely with Levy's need to begin the recruitment process for Harry's replacement before the summer. Now he can do it much more overtly (if still not in the public eye), and candidates will know there genuinely is a job there for them to commit to.

Win/win.

Now calm down dears, deep breaths and carry on!

Rubbish. Before Capello's petulant strop Harry was never in line to manage England at the Euros. Him being needed to manage the team through a major competition changes everything quite alot.

Ben Pearce @BenPearceSpurs #thfc Redknapp: "They've been fantastic to me, the Tottenham people. The fans last week at the Wigan game, the reception was incredible."

1m Ben Pearce @BenPearceSpurs
#thfc Redknapp: "I've got a job to do, I've got a big game on Saturday with Tottenham. Tottenham is my focus..."

1m Ben Pearce @BenPearceSpurs
#thfc Harry Redknapp: "I don't know anything about the England job. I've not even thought about it..."

I hope he keeps his head down till the end of the season... I think we all know he will go then...

I've been saying this since last night. Not the fishwives part of course.

I think people just like a drama :)

would love to be as calm as this but the bastards goading me In work has me in a state. He certainly won't suit spurs before the end of the season but if he attempts to do both first game we lose media will be all over it that spurs are suffering because of it. With able and Modric knowing redknapp is off too they'll be unsettled. we'll need a top appointment.
