That doesn't mean anything WP. Fergie pushed through Tom Cleverley at the expense of giving Paul Pogba a game and look how that's turned out. He wasn't arguing with a professional on Frank Lampard, he was arguing with a fan there, some fans have ridiculous opinions at times. Redknapp has been unstitched by every manager that has managed against him over the years, especially at QPR. There's no arguing that he's had a moderate level of success but given his time in the game, it's hardly impressive what he has achieved. He inherited a good squad at Spurs, he revitalised a team low on confidence, don't let his ability to lift spirits confuse you with his abilities as a tactician.
So someone with limited footballing knowledge could predict that a 17 year old reserve player would achieve everything in the game? He didnt need to be arguing with a professional, its not the argument thats relevant. Its the fact that redknapp said Lampard would achieve everything in the game, scott cannon wouldnt do anything which he didnt, and matt hollland would play in the first division which he did. He was asked his opinion on 3 youth players and his opinion was precise with each one of them. Now how could someone with limited football knowledge predict that, with 3 youngsters? Dear oh dear.
What's with the last bit 'dear oh dear' as if you've assumed some sort of authority over the conversation? You're in a huge minority, you've backed yourself into a corner and you look desperate, having to trawl back to 1763 for the last time Harry Redknapp came out with anything worth remembering. More recently he's said 'If England don't win in 2016 they might as well give up' going on his opinion that he thinks Sturridge, Barkley, Sterling, Clyne and Walker offer England something more than they've ever had. Not one of them players would have started a match in 2006. Using his ability to spot a player who will turn out good, by the way, that's what makes a good scout, not a good manager.
Somebody with limited football knowledge is knowledgeable to put three clubs into admin you thick twat. I'm all for debate but you're getting on my tits with this one chum. Let's have a threesome, you can suck his cock while I hoof him in the balls, that way I might catch your jaw at the same time. He's not a hasbeen, he's a never was been.
v-joe commented saying harry had limited football knowledge. My comment was to prove otherwise. Wether he be a scout or a manager, the guy has great football knowledge, as seen in the video. People dont agree with my view, that dont put me in the corner, or desperate, i just have a different view.
You are talking about business, not football. If a club goes bankrupt, its the board who are to blame, its not a lack of the manager's football knowledge
That doesn't demonstrate a great football knowledge though, being able to predict that one of your own players will go on to big things. It was his own nephew as well, let's not forget, so he was more inclined to say great things about him. Lampard was fortunate to be part of a great team, where he massively contributed to them winning everything, I'm not taking that away from him, but he could have easily just have been stubborn and stayed at West Ham and won **** all. Identifying a great player doesn't mean he's got a great football knowledge, he's a twitching idiot who has consistently (since taking over at QPR) come up with no answers when his team are being pulled apart in this league.
True to a certain extent. So if Ellis hires him & Harry bankrupts us, I'll blame him & the Irish tart Maggie, who is a waste of ****ing space imo. Nice tits though.
He didnt just predict lampard, he predicted all 3 players who he was asked about and got them right to a tee. Lampard could have gone to the dog and duck rovers and won nothing too if he wanted, but he was a great player, and great players go to big clubs and win things with big clubs. He had great players with him at chelsea, but very few would be greater than him. To say he could have stayed at west ham and won nothing is just insane, but actually quite funny. Managers dont succeed at every club they go to, apart from Jose, and thats why Jose will be considered as one of the greatest ever. Redknapp has managed in the champions league, its better than the championship managers we at sunderland are used to getting.
I don't know why people bother with this plum. He was sucking Mr Bruce cock last season but that went quiet didn't it.
Why is it insane? Shearer and Le Tissier stayed at their clubs and won nothing, when they could have went to bigger clubs for success. I could have told you Matt Holland would end up at some lower league club as well. How do you know Redknapp wasn't just repeating what his advisors have told him about the players? Fact is you don't and that's a perfectly feasible explanation for his 'prediction' that you're so enamoured with. I'll repeat again, the ability to spot a good player doesn't mean he's got a great football brain. Alan Pardew was talking up Lallana when he was still in league 1 playing his football, FFS.
Any manager who works at the top level has a good footballing brain, thats why they are at the top?! Managers certainly dont get to the top level having a limited football brain do they Matt Holland didnt end up at some lower league club, he played in the premier league. You dont even know who or what you are talking about I wonder what rubbish you will come out with next....
Matt Holland ended up at a lower league club, whatever you think you're talking about no matter how much you try to manipulate my words, he spent 10 seasons outside of the Premier League during his career, at teams in Lower leagues. If you want a list of flopped managers I can recite on for you, if you think management is progressive then you're more naive than I first thought. Gary Monk, John Carver, Chris Ramsey, there's 3 Premier League managers who were and in two cases still are completely inexperienced at this level and have proved absolutely nothing. Carver being the exception if you're scratching around for a concession since he is technically not a 'manager'. If you want a list of 'top managers' out of work or 'top managers' currently plying their trade in lower leagues then I'm sure you've got the initiative to use google. Put the spade away mate, it's ****ing embarrassing.
Redknapp said Holland would play in the premier league, he did do, that's fact. Monk, John carver and Ramsay all have 1 thing in common, and that's they have all played football at professional level. Professional football players can go on to be managers, that's because they know the professional game. Its not rocket science. Just out of curiosity, at what level have you played the game, if at all?
Digging for a slant to undermine me, that's ****ing pathetic. Mate you've spent forever on here and showed very little in terms of input and demonstrated a very limited knowledge on football, highlighted by the warped ****e you've spewed up in this very thread, you spend your days trying to dig Smug out and that's what I know you for most on this forum, all because he kegged you one day because you were yarning some boring **** about a bloke you found in Spain in a Sunderland shirt. It's not ****ing rocket science you're right, most managers will come from a footballing background, well done for being so ****ing obvious. Here's another fact that's not rocket science... nearly all retired professional footballers never qualify to be a manager.
As a rule, the better the player, the worse the manager. There are exceptions, but look at Armfield, Moore, Keegan...
