Harry Redknapp has told ESPN that he has not resigned from his job at #THFC after rumours suggested he had quit -

ESPN: REDKNAPP HAS TOLD THEM HE HASN'T RESIGNED

But is it that clear cut? Yes we finished 4/5/4 but we also fell apart two seasons running and should have finished 4th and 3rd. There are plenty of worse managers than Harry out there but that's not to say we can't do better and we should be aiming at doing better because everyone else around us is. Harry wanting the England job is understandable and I don't think anyone has a problem with that however it's the way he went about it and stopped working for 3 months. All he spoke about press conference after press conference was England and he then has the cheek to insult us fans saying we've never had it so good, that the only game we played badly was against Norwich - a year after calling us fans idiots I think plenty of people have had enough of the man.

I admit I want him out, I also did last summer though I was the first to say fair play to the man during the first half of the season. The second half reminded me why I wanted him out the year before. What is clear cut though is that the man is not a winner, does not have the balls to admit when he is cocked up instead blaming all around him - it's always somebody else's fault.........and I will never ever forget the Aston Villa game where he took of VDV and replaced him with Parker in a must win game against the worst Villa side in decades. Can we really not do better than him?

Good post mate, can understand where you ome from.

I just hope DL is decisive!!

He hasnt gone. Harry has just said on espn he hasnt quit.

Redknapp told ESPN: "No, I haven't resigned, and I have no idea why it is being suggested that I have resigned.
"This is an outrage; an absolute liberty for people to be putting around this kind of rumour on the internet. It is not true, there is not a chance I will resign. Why should I? I have a year left on my contract."

Gone and quit are 2 separate things.

but is he staying

 

[AJW]

Not the best quotes. Read to me that he isn't resigning because he wants his years compensation! Ha ha

 

[Graysonti]

Theres one guy on SO that keeps saying it will be announced on Friday along with a takeover of the club.

Got the full post please?

but he does not say he has not been sacked

Archie isn't talking like its pure opinion

In response to people overreacting to news

In these situations, it is usual to announce first and sort out the details after (rather than sort out compensation etc before announcing). The lack of any announcement from the club makes me think that this COULD be another case of internet conjecture feeding on itself. I would not be surprised if Levy and Harry are looking at all this and laughing

 

[talkshowhost86]

Nobody has said he's resigned have they? He sounds angry though.

 

[strader]

When there is a rush of ITK you are pretty sure it is true, then again it is safe to say they all jump on the bandwagon not to be left out of the ITK master-mind - Thanks Harry

 

[Bware]

Anyone else have the feeling that Paul Stretford is playing some sort of game here?

 

[Mr Pink]

but is he staying

maybe he's happy enough to just see out his contact then with the possibility of an extension sometime through out next season....

 

[Mr Pink]

Gone and quit are 2 separate things.

they are indeed.....

 

[ReadieSpur]

but he does not say he has not been sacked

That's true. His comments come across a bit angry, so you never know. so it continues i guess...

 

[RJ1882]

It will be interesting if Harry appears on the Beeb anytime soon - lets hope Gary is still asking pertinent questions!

Funny enough, Gary Linekar said on ******* today that Moyes and Pardew will be on as pundits later this week. Why? My guess is that Harry has gone, doesnt want to be on BBC sofa and they have drafted in replacements.

Though I could be wrong.

 

[Phantom]

Anger at the rumours only, surely.

 

[Brazilyid]

All this states is the club need to back him or sack him. We need this sorted this week so we can prepare for next season. Getting fucking stupid now.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

You wont find out without trying ! Risk management is part of the job. Its beyond me people dont understand we are looking to build à club dinasty. New Stadium equal long term plans. How hr could be seen as a long term plan is beyond logic, no matter what he has achieve. Fight club ends : you have met at a strange time in my life...

A fair point. Not sure if I agree with it or not, but you have made me think...

 

[ryantegan]

Sounds angry at ME!!!

Might call a sickie
