tomski Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd not disagree with that. He's always been someone who always tends to buy rather then develop. You could say the same about plenty of other managers though. Allardyce for starters. Just so we're clear though, I'd not want you to think I'm not of the opinion that 'Arry's a cunt. Ha ha course we all know he's a cunt. I merely want to dispel this myth he's a good manager when he really isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyroad58 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can't stand the cunt and with comments like he's made i would not be happy as a QPR fan, gimme, gimme, gimme or i'll take my ball home Oh just fuck off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DazBob Posted May 21, 2013 Members Share Posted May 21, 2013 Tomski You're in a 'Saw' type scenario and in a room with two other men. The only way you can survive is to save the life of one and to end the life of another. The two other men in the room with you are 'Arry and CE7. Who lives and who dies??

See as I'm a glass half full man, I'd look at the positives as I could end one wanker. I would choose Redknapp as Eagles potentially has a sell on value, which we could reinvest in good players.

magic legs Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 "Certain parts of his reputation are unfair, as he has had more successes than failures, and when you sit down and look at his transfer record over his 26 years as a boss you find that he has spent £222.23 million and recouped £230.37 million." http://soccerlens.co...football/58373/ He definitely had a clause in his Spuds contract that he earned a % of the transfer value of players he sold. Wonder how much of that £230m ended up in his or his dog's account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much of that £230m ended up in his or his dog's account? That was in his Pompey contract, I very much doubt that Levy would allow that From what I remember he got a % of the profit on player sales, He must have done well out of the Diarra to Madrid deal.

Moderators Zico Posted May 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2013 Spurs were in an okay position when he left. It's up to the owners of the business to ensure the club is financially sound, not the manager IMO. A lot of the players he signed for Portsmouth were players who would still have a high re-sale value - Crouch, Diarra, Defoe, etc. aye, Levy wouldn't let him anywhere near transfers at Spurs, took some input but when it came to spending/negotiating he wasn't allowed to get involved always been like that, pretty sure Jol asked for a right winger, and they bought Bale instead, much to his annoynance at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton in bedford Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can't stand the bloke, AVB may have only taken Spurs to 5th but he got more points than any Spurs team have in the Premier league, yet the 'arry loving media can't wait to drool over he got them to 4th twice.

Well said. It was irrelevant getting to 4th once anyway so only credit him with once. Caulker would not of got a look in under redknapp and another player i think he ruined was pavelychenko, who imo was a class striker.
