According to MailOnline: Harry Redknapp is to be offered the chance of an intriguing return to football with ambitious Championship club Leicester City. Leicester's wealthy Thai owner Vichai Raksriaksorn wants the former Tottenham boss to replace Nigel Pearson after becoming frustrated at the way his £60million investment has failed to deliver Premier League football. Hope Rosie enjoys life in the Midlands........
Could you even begin to imagine spending 60 million quid on a bunch of players? Harry is bound to want more. Plus he doesn't rate Nugent at all, at least he didn't at Pompey.
Talking of Harry........... did you hear about the kerfuffle at the Cherries after they were roundly beaten by Walsall? Not that Harry was involved except that the fans want Groves out and Harry advised Mitchell to give them more time........ and persuaded Jamo to go there. They were well pissed that Wes Thomas, who hasn't done so well for them lately, came here and scored the goal that put us above them in the table.
Interesting you mentioned that- at first, I thought it was strange that he could struggle so much at a club for months, then play fantastically well at a new one. I think that it is all down to Appy's management skills. Unlike 90% of other modern day young managers, who are straight "from the textbook" managers, Appy does the best technique a manager should- man management. He certainly brings out the best in players!
Funny you should say that PL Stewie. That is the very reason they were giving, playing for a "real manager" (and of course using that as another stick to beat Groves with). Did you hear Thomas's interview after the game? He was very clear that he wasn't going back to Bournemouth to sit on the bench.......... we might have him here longer than 1 month.
In demand you say? If Redknapp was to sing his thoughts to Daniel Levy, I think it would go something like this: When we were together you were blown away Just like paper from a fan But you would act like I was just a poor manager Like we were never gonna last But now I've got a club who cares for me, (yeah) Wrote my name in silver ink I think you know you've lost the manager of your life (You said) I was the best manager you've ever had Because I'm in demand, (hey) You're thinking of the way you should've accepted my wage (demands) And all the times you'd say my tactics you didn't understand You never had my contract written in your (plans) But now I'm in demand I never think you saw the best of me (ahh haa haa haa) There's a tactic you'll never know 'Cos success and managing are two different things (ahh haa haa haa) Set your sights far too low But now I've got a club who cares for me, (yeah) They wrote my name in silver ink I think you know you've lost the manager of your life (You said) I was the best manager you've ever had Because I'm in demand (hey) You're thinking of the way you should've accepted my wage (demands) And all the times you'd say my tactics you didn't understand You never had our my contract in your plans But now I'm in demand You're thinking of the way you should've held my (hand) And all the times you'd say you didn't understand You never had our love written in your (plans) But now I'm in demand It's only when I fall asleep I see that winning team When my dreams just move along You've lost the race for the Champions League by miles Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Stay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Because I'm in demand You're thinking of the way you should've accepted my wage (demands) And all the times you'd say my tactics you didn't understand You never had my contract written in your (plans) But now I'm in demand, (yeah) You know I'm in demand (Say you're in demand) You know I'm in demand, (yeah) Always in demand, (yeah) Never had my contract written in your plans You know I'm in demand
