The Daily ITK & Harry Hokey-Cokey Discussion thread 13th June 2012

[Sum Monsterism]

Forgive me for repeating, but the itk alludes to modders going? Does anyone expect him to ACTUALLY end up anywhere other than madrid?

I cant see the smoke through all them flames

Further word from your boss I assume?

[Qualsonic]

I cant see the smoke through all them flames

BYE HARRY!

Seems somewhat...final.

 

[Insomnia]

I had a dream last night that redknapp came to visit Ryan at his office and after a heated exchange of words arry strangled ryan with the phone cord.

I dreamt last night, that I was best mates with Damon Alburn, we got on it and then the rest is a blur

BYE HARRY!

This from your 'contact' or just based on the number of places reporting it?

 

[wee_spur]

Noodles and A&C are two peas in a pod. A bloody wierd mental pod!!!

 

[ryantegan]

He just reaffirmed what was said yesterday.

 

[VincenzoCoccotti]

Seems pretty cut and dried then, thanks for the info

 

[Locotoro]

Just read online that our Head of Player Development has left for Ipswich Town, Brian Klug.

Is this the early signs of those jumping ship before the captain?

 

[andyp8080]

i don't know how i am meant to get any work done with this hanging over us

until this is sorted my prodctivity levels are going to suffer!

 

[geordiespur]

Thanks Ryan, just wish it would be sorted one way or the other. We need a unified camp

I'm sure he was at Ipswich before Spurs so it's probably not much of a big deal.

 

[talkshowhost86]

If he's going, and it sounds increasingly like he is, he needs to go as soon as possible. The longer this is dragged out the worse it will be for the club and it will also delay us bringing in a new manager.

Sadly, with Levy and Stretford on either side I can't see this being solved quickly. Presumably we can't announce a new manager until Redknapp has officially left so until the mutual agreement is reached we're a bit boned.

Come on Levy. Get this sorted and sorted quickly.

Or part of an overall restructuring? If Levy is bringing in a new coach he'll want it to be a ground up revolution, especially with the apparent good quality of our youth sides.

 

[spursfan77]

I cant help but think that Levy has waited until Chelsea have now given Di Matteo a new 1 year contract to stop him going there. Not that it means Chelsea would be worried about binning Di Matteo tomorrow.

 

[KevinW]

As others have alluded to . I don't actually think Harry has been sacked or has resigned.

The "turmoil" at the club revolves around Harry wanting a new contract but Levy not wanting to give him one.

Clearly we can't start the new season with this deadlock so I guess there will be a 'mutual agreement' to part ways at some point in the next few weeks. I does beg the question though, would the club of been happy for Harry just to run down the final year of his contract? or is this just a ploy to push Harry out?

I think it is probably the latter in which case Levy must have already drawn up a list of candidates to replace druppy chops.

Agree with much of this, but they are mid-negotiations when both sides are trying to get as much as they can of their desired outcome. Neither side wants to give the impression that they are a pushover. If he was offered something way short of what he wanted, it should be no surprise that Harry left the meeting without agreeing. That doesn't mean that he will not reflect on it and come back to the table. For his own pride, he probably needs to feel that he has done whatever he can to get the best deal. Sometimes, you get through this part of the process and a compromise emerges and all is sweetness and light again.

 

[nidge]

Sad that I had already come to terms with Harry leaving back when the England job became available.

Wonder if we will hear much about it today?

 

[Leachie]

Right, well that's that then.

Anybody work with mates of David Moyes?

 

[geordiespur]

Pretty sure Brian Klug was at ITFC before anyway so probably just going back to his old employers. Not sure I would read too much into that
