geezer Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 And Ian Dowie's now a free agent so give him the job. Unfortunately I think they'll get Roberto Mancini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Roberto Mancini is a very likely appointment given his expressed desire to coach in England and his success at Inter however I just wonder whether Spurs may be concerned that he has no track record of managing a club in crisis. They might feel they need someone who has proven they can install a little backbone in a side and Mancini's record at Fiorentina was not impressive.

flasher10 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 It looks like Pompey are reluctantly allowing 'Arry Redknapp to talk to Spuds. Return to sh*te Hart Lane for Defoe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 It is actually someone like Diarra that Spurs desperately need in their team so if Redknapp got the job I wouldn't be surprised to see him try and sign Diarra in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diarra's going to cost over £10 Mill - probably nearer £15 Mill - maybe more. But will Diarra fancy a relegation scrap? If he bides his time he will get a serious club putting in a bid for him.

flasher10 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Aaaargh 'Arry's agreed to become the Spuds manager. That was quick. Tapping up charge perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gem Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Bloody hell, the Redknapp thing has come as a big surprise. Feel sorry for Pompey, why would he swap a good, solid club for one on a downward spiral? My respect for him has suddenly lessoned, Tottenham aren't bigger than Portamouth, can only be a money issue.

cassiya Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Absolutely terrible decision of Spurs to hire Redknapp. Ramos was doing a fantastic job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofty Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Has this been confirmed? If so, let's hope Frank has a word with his uncle. "But Uncle 'arry. This is *T*tt*nh*m we're talking about here. NOBODY expects you to save them from relegation. And what's more, most right-thinking people don't WANT you to save the scumbags from relegation". "You're right Frank. I hate the bar stewards as much as anyone. Don't worry. They'll be in the Championship next year. I'll have a few more quid to my name, and a nice new job to walk into. Back to Pompey again, more likely". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT26CFC Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 wow this was really fast! just saw on fsc and `arry says this on becoming the new manager ""It's a big, big opportunity to manage a big club before I retire," the 61-year-old Redknapp said. "I love Portsmouth and I loved my time there, we had some fantastic success and I'd never been happier, but it's a great deal for Portsmouth, 5 million pounds for me."

mad_mac Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAAAHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Stoke were singing "you're getting sacked in the morning!' they were'nt too far wrong. "arry will be with them for two months and then be back at Pompey; who would be worse than Newcastle if they took him back, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWestwayWonder Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I dont think Defoe goes back to Spurs at all. But I think arry will be able to see plain as day that they need an actual forward, rather than just a joke, a Man Utd reserve and Rebrov Mk. II Redknapp is a good pick, imo, because he practically guarantees they wont be relegated. Im sure he will figure out how to scrape by just so. I predict they only finish 15th or something, though. If they hadve hired Mancini, then god knows what wouldve happened. Still, Spuds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombsie Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I am a bit gutted as I have always really liked Harry Redknapp. That now obviously has to change !!! I would settle for relegation after a very brave fight, with him bringing them back next year before admitting the Club is a sh*thole and retiring or returning to Pompey.

ChrisC Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Feel really sorry for Portsmouth fans. Harry must have been on the booze when he said "It's a big opportunity to manage a big club before I retire" Anyway, Ramos I salute you, you've done great things to Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Hopefuly 'arry can do the same wonderful job with Spurs as he did with Southampton. He could have an ulterior motive here. He is a life long ............... Arsenal fan. I kid you not. Edited October 26, 2008 by just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hopefuly 'arry can do the same wonderful job with Spurs as he did with Southampton. and then take over at West Ham and do the same! The key to saving Spurs from the drop is going to be how well he gets Zokora playing and trying to keep King fit. FIngers crossed he fails on both counts. I have never had that warm fluffy feeling about Redknapp that other people seem to have - always thought he was a bit of a whiner, now that he is at Spurs it makes it easier to want him to fail.

coco Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Shocked at how quick this happened. Bad move on Spurs behalf, they have now officially become a JOKE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWestwayWonder Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Another thing I didnt think about, initially when this happened is that Spurs plans are now back in the toilet. What they have been building to the last few years seems to be scrapped and, with a new manager, its back to the drawing board. Any chance the likes of Woodgate, King, or Modric just try and force their way out during the summer? Man Utd going after Bale maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 When Avram Grant took over last year one fellow Chelsea supporter was deeply convinced that we should have signed Ramos. OK so now if Kenyon has the pleasure to sack another manager then there's another jobless man to put on our shortlist. Utterly great news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
