I also believe Wenger instructed that English was to be spoken in the dressing room...but he probably carried more weight than Redknapp.
Given that during his fraud trial Redknapp professes to be barely able to read and write, and can haedly speak english conherently, how on earth does he comminicate with any of the players? Do you think he draws pictures?
Seems fair enough for English to be the language on the training ground in England at an English club. You can't get by in thi country without speaking English.
Apologies to any Pompey [or Saints of course] fans who might be offended, but I found this hilarious, and I want to record the link here: http://www.theoraclespeaks.net/spor...arry-redknapp-denies-separate-charges-bagpuss
When Bagpuss falls asleep, all his friends fall asleep. The mice in their de lux, (no riff raff) South parade pier hice* development. Professor Waffle, whose bookend now props up an entire set of investment law tomes. Vol 1 of Janet and John, is tucked away in there somewhere, too. And finally, Gabriel the toad has swapped his banjo, for a big fiddle. That he plays on the beach, in the Cayman Islands, where he calls out to passers by "You hum it, I'll strum it" As for Madeleine the doll, she hasn't been seen since PC Copper from Bod, came to call. She left behind some old rags and a receipt from Gucci. *Hice used to be old english plural for house, in case anyone's wondering
He is a very good manager just at club level he spends too much money as demonstrated by the financial disasters at, Bournemouth, West ham, Stains, and sadly Pompey, only at Spurs did Levy take charge of his cheque book. As an International manager with no 'Brief' (snigger) to buy players but simply manage them he would do well. Obviously he is a numpty at finances as he admitted himself in Court! Jo the job is made for him, no money just the best players in England to pick a team from.....
Did anyone read Martin Keown's comment last night? "This morning he could have been on his way to prison, now he could be on his way to heaven." I for one would like to see him get it. I don't expect England to fare any better in tournements under him but he still ticks all the boxes for me.
