MrDuck Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think Harry should become England manager after Euro 2012? Anyone agree? Harry or MON would be good shouts for the job I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just been unlucky with fixtures really.. playing both Manchester sides who currently look head and shoulders above everybody else.

So let's get this straight... he's been one of the top English managers for well over a decade, but he's lost Spurs first two league games of the season (to Man City and Man Utd), which is now him showing his true managerial ability? I'm all for laughing at Spurs given the opportunity... but your point holds about as much water as a paper bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 think 1st 2 games prove how influential Modric is to the team. Without him they look woeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It's not just these two games. Spurs have been poor since Madrid thrashed them. FWIW I think Woy Hodgson will get the England job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season they werent great for most of season though good enough for 5th but their Champions League form papered over most of the cracks.

Stevo985 Posted August 29, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2011 Spurs' last 54 games under Harry compared to Ramos' 54 in charge: Redknapp - P:54 W:22 D:17 L:15 Ramos - P:54 W:21 D:16 L:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It seems like Redknapp is at odds with Levy over Modric. Judging by his latest quotes Redkanpp wants him sold, I don't know if it's just because he's a disruptive influence or because of that rumoured clause where Redknapp gets a cut of transfer fees. If Modric is going to sulk and tell everyone he doesn't want to play like he apparently did in the dressing room before yesterday's game then Spurs are better off taking the money on offer with a player in exchange. In hindsight they should have done what we did and sold up early in the summer, then they could have had a settled preseason and a more solid start to the campaign this time around.

Zatman Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Best deal for Spurs would be Modric for money and Sturridge. Everybody would be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 29, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2011 If Modric is going to sulk and tell everyone he doesn't want to play like he apparently did in the dressing room before yesterday's game It wouldn't surprise me if that was complete fabrication. We only "know" that because Redknapp said it happened, and at the time he was clutching at excuses for why they'd lost 5-1. He was blaming the result on a lack of pre-season due to Modric's transfer saga amongst other things. So yeh, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd just made that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Anyone else enjoying seeing Redknapp get a aste of his own medicine? Don't think anyone else talks about other teams players as openly and as much as he does, good to see one of his own unsettled the same way.

I think that things are going to get a lot worse between Levy and Redknapp. Despite all his self promotion, Harry is not going to push Spurs any further forward and their flirtation with the Champion's league was very brief. Harry has been talking himself into the England job for some time now and i doubt that Levy is going to give him the money to spend knowing he will piss off. Harry is also clearly frustrated by the wages limits at Spurs and will constantly use this as an excuse. Also, Levy is clearly a business man and Harry's record at every other club shows that his transfers in the long run are a financial mess. He will leave a lot of older players with a much reduced sell on value, the only exceptions being Walker and Sandro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Redknapp's post-match comments playing 'The Modric card' for the defeat is utter bollocks. My Dad is a season ticket holder at WHL and said Modric was the best player on the pitch for the first twenty mins. You don't just suddenly change your "frame of mind" as he constantly refers to it as midway through a game. City outplayed Spurs, simple as. Modric had pretty much accepted he'll stay the week building up to the City game but if there are murmurs about him wanting to change his mind after that debacle who can blame him?
