Redknapp didn't sell surplus players?
Perhaps that's because it's not his job to do so?
If he was given that role at Pompey, then that was somebody else's mistake.

I'd question the fact that the club overspent on players, too.
Diarra, Yakubu, Glen Johnson and others were sold for massive amounts, you won the FA Cup and played in Europe.
Where did all of that cash go?
 
Right - so your (constantly decreasing) complaints against Redknapp now basically equate to a sort of anger that, whilst he did achieve on-field success beyond your ambitions, he did not do the job of financial director, chairman, club secretary, director of football and instead let other people do them instead. What a bastard.

This is getting very strange...

No, I still support the point of view that he could have done a lot more to look out for the future of Portsmouth, I just cant be bothered to argue it any more. Take it as an admission of defeat if you want, I couldn't care less, I've got work to get to.
 
And I haven't said that Redknapp is a bad manager. I would have prefered it if he had shown more interest in improving things off-field rather than just chasing titles and I seriously dont like him as a person. See Portsmouth, at best, were only ever a top-Championship level side, maybe a yo-yo team if things went well, we should never have been chasing titles in the first place. Of course I was happy when we won the FA Cup but I never had any expectations of going for anything other than Premier League survival and I blame everyone involved at the time for ignoring the welfare of the club and overspending - that may be unfair but that's the way I see it - and if I could go back I'd trade the FA Cup in a heartbeat for better stadium and training facilities and I'd even trade all our Premier League years for that as well.

Never said you said he was a bad manager, I said you were blaming him for matters out of his control.

Have I missed something in which Redknapp was also a board member/ investor/ club architect as well as manager? You cannot blame him for the non-investment of training facilities and/ or stadium expansion. It's like me blaming Freidel when we don't score... Completely invalid.
 
Surprise return for Christian Gross, anyone?

Oh...
 
at the moment harry's a national tresure'even my mum likes him,and she knows nothing about football,would he want that to change by picking the poisoned chalice,i wonder
 
Isn't Mourinho doing rather well with Real Madrid?
Why would he be available?
 
Why would I delete your comments or close the article, Ensil?
I'll point out why you're wrong and you'll fail to accept it, instead.

Nothing that the OP said obviates availability, desire or money.
You may choose to answer without considering those things, but nothing in the original article implied any such thing.
Given that he gave a realistic reason for Redknapp leaving, it would be fair to assume that he was asking for realistic answers, though that's not explicitly stated either.
 
Why? Because that's what you do.

I delete comments or close articles when they descend into pointless arguments about spelling or grammar, tedious exchanges of insults or obvious trolling.
I can see why this would worry you, actually!
 
Obviously you can - you are truly pathetic, you seem to be amassing a number of members of this board that find you and your attitude unacceptable.

Really, Ensil?
I've told you repeatedly that you can get a replacement for me whenever you want.
Do it.

Personally I think that there are far more people that find your own condescending, aggressive, confrontational and patronising bullshit far more unacceptable, but feel free to get someone else in.
 
anyway,


no one liked my Brendan Rodgers idea then? Sadface.
I suppose he is pretty inexperienced for a CL and title winning side :D
