My question,is twofold. Harry Red: takes the England job, Jol goes back to Spurs. We get 10m compensation ! Who would you like as the new boss. where would you spend the money on.
Harry Red: takes the England job,.....................Might happen but would prefer Ian Holloway Jol goes back to Spurs.................................Never happen, Levy won't take Jol back We get 10m compensation !.........................10 million compensation from Spurs!!!! Never Happen Who would you like as the new boss...............Micheal Laudrup where would you spend the money on. Matias Suarez of Anderlecht Boateng of Dnipro Dries Mertens of PSV Doumbia of CSKA Moscow
I also want Jol here next year, and for the record I don't really want Redknapp as the England manager.
The fact that Capello walks the exact same day Redknapp is cleared in court of all tax evasion charges seems like too much of a coincidence to me. Would Harry walk out on Spurs while they still have a title shot this season though?
I might put a wager on the following happening. Redknapp to England Mourinho to Spurs Capello to Real Madrid. Wonder what sort of odds I would get.
England is a dead end job. Bunch of spoiled players and a fan base that thinks it's supporting Brazil or something. Harry's the right man for the job, but ultimately he'll regret it just like everyone else.
I think the main difference Redknapp would bring to the team is the fact that he would have managed a lot of these players at some time during their careers. Capello, Sven and to an extent McLaren were all walking into the unknown. I can see the camp being much more united under Redknapp, but unfortunately for England changing the manager will have little turnaround on the pitch, it is the players that need to be changed no the manager. England should use Germany as a prime example.
You're right bandit that Redknapp's managed many of these players ... and he's a fantastic manager, in my book, and would certainly get more of the players than most. To me the problem is one of unrealistic expectations on the part of England fans and the media. England fans think they're supporting a team like Spain, Holland, Italy or Brazil, when in fact England is probably on par with Sweden or the Czech Republic. So when England grind out another dreary draw against Denmark or get hammered by the Dutch, fans and the delusional media will start crying for a new manager. It's a no-win situation. England has the best league in the world, if you ask me, bringing in the best players from around the world. The fact that there are five or six good teams, any one of which could win the league in a given year (unlike Spain, for instance), make this the league to watch. But the greatness of the league doesn't necessarily translate to great individual skills on the part of English players. So when they gather against well-disciplined European teams, England frequently look a bit lost and one-dimensional. Frankly, I like watching Wales a little more. Speaking as an American, nothing is more disturbing for me than watching the USA national team - completely hopeless.
