So I know this is about the 74th Redknapp article but I thought "f*ck it, lets do another!"
Anyway, question is, short and sweet -
If you were 'Arry, would you take the England job? Whether it be now, or at the end of the season?
Personally if I were 'Arry, I don't think I would. England managers seem to tarnish their reputations in football after taking what I class as the posioned chalice.
When appointed, expectations are high, the manager usually comes in from the back of something impressive and everyone thinks "this is the year for England!", a year or so later, England were embarrassed and our overpaid primadonas yet again failed their nation. The manager is sacked/ resigns and things never seem the same for them again.
Now for me, being a Spurs fan makes it hard to sound unbiased here but I generally think if I were 'Arry in charge of this team, I'd find it extremely difficult to leave, especially knowing damn well that the reason they're where they are, is pretty much because of me. Adored by the fans, playing the best football in the country, knowing that continuing at the rate they're going legendary status awaits and POTENTIALLY be regarded as the clubs best manager in history, why on earth would I leave for something that quite frankly is more than likely to end in disappointment?
Can appreciate it must be a extremely tough decision, especially if Tottenham isn't in your blood but is the England job really worth leaving for these days?
