I actually think it was the other way round mate. Redknapp was shafted by the Club. At a critical juncture he was undermined and had someone running around behind his back trying everything to scupper his work, the most obvious example being the transfer window shambles. I talked to my old man the other day and he said the same and remarked "the Club could never have any luck doing what they did". Indeed
Negative turning points: 1. Late goal for swansea -2 pts 2. 83 min? goal for Man City -2 pts 3. Very late goal for saints -1 pts 4. Very, very late goal for liverpool -1 pts 5. Late goal for Hull -1 pts 6. 85 min missed penalty by Charlie vs. Hull -1 pts Plus few matches which we losed after 75 min or so... Positive turning points: 1. 88 min winner by Charlie vs. WBA +2 pts So its -6 pts in late turning points for/from us...... Then the numerous horrendous defensive errors during the whole season which have cost us at least 8-10 points. Those just to add to those matches above. All these are of course partly fault of the worst manager pair of the premier league and their tactical "wisdom"
That's for sure! Shame though because for the short time he was with us he was a real class act on the pitch. Truth is all of these champions league teams need a big squad and can pay the wages for players to sit on the bench.
You make a valid point,Swords. I guess I'm frustrated that Harry never seemed to admit any fault and continually blamed all and sundry. When it came time to depart, there seemed little remorse for the club. Would it be fair to say that Harrys comment, "that he wanted to stay in football" express his feelings in a hidden way ...... that he was pushed rather than walked?
