Forgetting the health and legal issues for this thread please, I had a good read of his page this morning... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...Harry-Redknapp-We-defended-for-our-lives.html Just what is it about the England team, and sticking with the failed 'golden generation'? Even he is saying he'd bring Gerrard and Lampard in. And that Rio and Terry are still first choice , when both have been made to look like donkeys this season. Harry has proved me wrong a few times, but I'm not sure about this one.
No No No - The Golden Generation had their chance, numerous times - and failed to deliver. Too many egos and not enough graft. John Terry's failed coup at the World Cup was a typical example of players thinking that they ran the show. The crop of young players coming through now actually look like they want to play for each other - they are a breath of fresh air.
Welbeck when he came on although he didn't get much service had Spain's full back beaten for pace,he should start v Sweden imo
I'm getting a bit sick of this now. It's a bit like a girlfriend going out on the prowl without having the courtesy to dump her boyfriend first. He's constantly auditioning for the England job. We're like the love-sick puppy that doesn't have the guts to question why she's coming home late every night or why she's wearing perfume to go shopping. Give it a rest Harry, you've got the job already. Stop pimping yourself out, ever heard of the phrase hard to get? Have some respect and do the job asked of you. If you do that (as you are anyway), there's no need to cheapen yourself by telling everyone how big your knob is. If he does get it, sure he may have pulled the best bird in town but she is gonna make his life a living misery. Bitch!!!!
I know what you are saying. However, there is probably not much else he could have written about after this weekend and he does have a column to deliver (that is dangerously close to continuing some of your metaphors!). If he had ignored the match, that would have been strange.
There's plenty he could have spoken about. The dangers of management to your health following his scare, the John Terry affair, FIFA and the poppygate. It's not so much what he discusses, but the tone in which he delivers. Sure, he's fully entitled to discuss England having only just beaten the World Champions but his stance is often "i would have done this or Capello should have done that" or even referring to players in nickname terms to get the players on his side before he becomes their boss.
Notso, are you creating threads for every article you read in the Sun this morning? There's no way he'd stick with all the ancient crocks, not beyond being squad players anyway. He knows most of them very well and he doesn't want to piss them off over what he would do when he's manager, when he's not even manager yet.
It's hardly surprising that he's talking up players like Ferdinand (West Ham), Lampard (West Ham and relative), Terry (West Ham youth) and Gerrard (twat) when he's going for the England job. It's extremely likely that those looking to fill the post will consult the senior players, so he's buttering them up. Whether he'd actually pick them or not is a different matter, especially as they'll probably all quit after this tournament anyway. Why risk alienating them and give them the opportunity to scupper your chances? Redknapp's a lot of things, but naive certainly isn't one of them.
No to Harry for me. England have to look very long term and need to inject youth into the mamagement/backroom staff as well as on the pitch. Should have been done after the world cup. We will see as virtually the same team take to the pitch at the euros who failed so miserably back then. I wonder what will happen?! When Harry takes over Ferdinand, Terry, Gerrard, Lampard will be the first names on the teamsheet. Rooney will play every game even if he is unfit/out of form. Even Beckham could return! Bring back Hoddle.
Don't believe it's anything to do with the WHU connection and Terry wasn't there that long, Lampard possibly with the family connection. Not naive, really? So if he took the cash and stashed it off-shore without paying taxes did he really think he wouldn't be caught?
This is my main worry, if Harry became England manager. He'll see this as his prime opportunity to work with all the big names from the past, players that he would have loved to have managed at club level, rather than bringing in the talented youngsters. Okay, so there is probably little doubting that Harry would be better at bringing out the best in the players and getting them to gel as a squad, but the England job requires more than that if we are to achieve any glory before I die. Having said that, and being brutally honest, if I wasn't a Spurs fan I would definitely want Harry as manager, even though he'd pick virtually the same squads as Capello and undoubtedly make all the same mistakes that every England manager has made since the days of Alf Ramsey.
It hurts more because i just don't care as much about England anymore. There was a sparkle of the old England against Spain because we had a player in Scott Parker who led by example and made the 3 lions roar once again. All it proves is that no matter how many games England win, the crowd will always be won if the players give everything. Until that feeling comes back i'll be gutted to lose Harry to a collection of players that don't really care.
They're players that have played for him before. Redknapp likes to go with what he knows, which is why he's signed some players repeatedly. You missed my main point anyway, which was that he's got to get them on his side to improve his chances of getting the job.
And that was the point in the article where I knew he was taking the piss. Boredom does funny things to people. Harry will never be England manager.
