Like I say my sources >>> TF

[The Somalian]

Okay wenger

[Rsonist]

At the moment I'm happy enough with Moyes coming, he might be a bit too pragmatic for the average Spurs fan but at least he's not a elderly cockney lunatic.

[anelka]

but at least he's not a elderly cockney lunatic.

lool to be fair you lot have been comedy gold re: Harry..no respect, too many quotables

Best one ever was when 1 of you said Harry ended training early so he and becks could get the lads pie & mash for lunch lool

[MEIRELES.]

PMSL

Down down down you go.

Harry was the best thing ever to happen to you. Guys are fully fronting about wanting him out. He turned you into a very competent side.

Say goodbye to all your potential successes.

[MEIRELES.]

When was the last time you were as good as you were for the past few seasons? Man made you into the best footballing side in the Prem at one point

He won you your 1st piece of silverware for 60 odd years. About wanting Harry out - really your LIVID. Moyes over Harry?

[Rsonist]

blah blah blah I know non-Spurs fans won't understand, so I'm not gonna bother going into it.

[8BALL]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never turn Spurs into a top four side

Then I spent oh so many nights thinking we could win the league

I was wrong, now I don’t want to carry on

Cos we were back, into fourth place

We were up there till December, but we’ll never win the race

I should have sold that bloody Friedel, should have dropped him from the team

If I had known for just one second he’d concede more than Derby

So many matches, ended up 2-2

At half time we were winning, then we went and effing drew!

And now I’m twitching while I’m thinking, should I have sold Jermain Defoe?

Woy got the England job, so I’m feeling pretty low

So now I’m gone, I’m out the door

Levy just didn’t want to see me anymore

The discussions were a farce, now I’m right out on my arse

But I’ll survive, I will survive

Yes I, I will survive

Oh, if we’d have had just two more points the CL dream would be alive

But Ledley’s almost dead, Kaboul’s just overfed

But I’ll survive, I will survive

It took all the strength I had, not to fall apart

When I was up before the beak for that tax evasion lark

And I spent oh so many nights trying to book Monaco flights

Cos I can’t read, so BA’s terms are all meaningless to me

And as for Modric, he’s all front

He sulked for half the season, the selfish little . . . runt

I should have sold him to the Chavs but Levy wouldn’t play

All I asked was 10 per cent to supplement my pay

But I, I will survive

Levy wants the Special One because he’s got more drive

I should have gone to Liverpool, can I go back to West Ham?

I know one thing for certain, I’m better than Fat Sam!

I told them all, that I was triffic

Though as I can’t read or write there’s little scientific

Tactics, what are they? And I can’t kick a ball

For three million a year I did basically eff all

That’s it I’m gone, I’m out the door

Couldn’t stick it with those dirty scum fans any more

Tottenham have no class, my heart was always with the Arse

So I’ll survive, yes I’ll surviiiiiiiiiiiiive!

[The Infamous]

Its greener pastures for Spurs. They will feel relieved

I hope they don't get Benitez though cos that would possibly result in a League title

[Rsonist]

lol @ these cunts feeling sorry for Harry on the radio

He'll get a 2 million pay off, which after he pays tax will be worth 2 million

[The Somalian]

Jock who do you want in?

[Rsonist]

I wouldn't even care if Big Sam came in, I'm just glad we're rid of the f*cker.

[JOHN DOE]

He'll get a 2 million pay off, which after he pays tax will be worth 2 million

I'm dying here

martin samuel been reading this thread

Turns out it was all an accident. Champions League football, that night against Inter Milan, Gareth Bale becoming one of the greatest wide players in Europe, the best sustained sequence of league finishes in 48 years. Fluked, the lot of it.

Harry Redknapp was never any cop as Tottenham manager. Says so right here on this messageboard.

Not since Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United and previously rational human beings took to the airwaves to announce he would not be missed has there been a greater act of collective revisionism.

Star in the making: Gareth Bale (right) gives Inter the runaround in 2010

The celebrations greeting Redknapp’s impending departure from White Hart Lane - this reaction is not universal but it is certainly not a minority, either - appear to wilfully disregard almost four years, focusing instead on a highly unusual four months.

From appearing on the steps of Southwark Crown Court an innocent man, through the intense speculation surrounding his candidacy as England manager, to the collapse of Tottenham’s league form resulting in a fourth-place finish, to the final kick in the guts of Chelsea’s win in Munich to deny Tottenham Champions League football next season - this is a passage of time quite unlike that endured by any manager in English football.

Yet it is Redknapp’s performance in such unique circumstances that has become the focus of attention rather than the evidence of what the man achieved with life on an even keel. Tottenham’s capitulation is the stick with which to beat Redknapp, as if no other club have ever surrendered a position of advantage.

Cleared: Redknapp outside Southwark Crown Court in February

For the record, Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United also fell with the finishing line in sight: perhaps he is tactically naïve, too?

That is the main criticism levelled at Redknapp. No football brain, apparently. Just slings 11 players out there and hopes for the best.

Sometimes he gets fortunate and it works but this season his luck just ran out. His old school methods are outdated, outmoded. He needs replacing with a younger man, a smarter thinker.

Roberto Martinez of Wigan Athletic is one of the names on chairman Daniel Levy’s shortlist and seems to have a high approval rating among supporters.

So cast your mind back to a match at White Hart Lane on November 22, 2009. Final score: Tottenham Hotspur 9 Wigan Athletic 1. Now consider that it is the manager whose team scored nine goals who is being depicted as the tactical ignoramus and could be replaced by the other fellow. Do you know how many times a team have scored nine in 20 years of Premier League football? Twice. Manchester United beat Ipswich Town 9-0 on March 4, 1995, and, more than 14 years later, Tottenham beat Wigan.

Backward step? Levy (below) is considering replacing Redknapp with Roberto Martinez, who presided over Wigan's 9-1 defeat at the hands of Redknapp's Spurs in 2009

No team should get beaten by nine. No manager should be unable to stem that flood. Martinez is an excellent young coach but if Redknapp is being condemned for a lack of cunning, his is not the first name that springs to mind as an example of a calculating superior.

A manager does not defeat AC Milan 1-0 in the San Siro, as Redknapp did in 2011, by making it up as he goes along. He does not play tight and tidy to draw goalless in the return if his only thought is to attack witlessly.

And this was not a weak Milan side, either. They were on their way to winning the Serie A title. It was pretty much the side that took Arsenal apart at the same stage of the tournament this season.

Unprecedented: Redknapp led Spurs into the Champions League, where they famously beat Milan (below)

In that same campaign, Redknapp gave English football one of its greatest nights in recent memory, defeating Inter Milan 3-1 at White Hart Lane. It was a game that changed reputations, not least that of Bale, who announced his arrival as the player now coveted by Barcelona. Maicon, Inter and Brazil’s right back, went from being regarded as the greatest in his position to a figure for fun.

They still sell T-shirts commemorating the chant ‘Taxi for Maicon’ outside White Hart Lane.

Redknapp gave them that. There are not too many managers who would have been brave enough to assault the Italians with pure pace as he did that night. Would David Moyes, another on Levy’s radar and now being talked up by fans who have clearly tired of watching some of the best football in the league?

Roasting: Bale tormented Maicon (right) in the San Siro

Put it this way. Moyes has done a superb job on a tight budget at Everton and clearly deserves a bigger opportunity but, if he has rampant cavalier instincts, he has managed to keep them well hidden. Give neutrals the choice and nobody would watch Everton ahead of Redknapp’s Tottenham for fun.

Yet, even the tutoring of Bale, one of Redknapp’s greatest achievements, is now being stolen from him. He was going to be shipped out on loan if injury to Benoit Assou-Ekotto had not intervened. So what? Most players get their break this way. A senior player is hurt or his form dips and the understudy is promoted.

Bragging rights: Spurs beat Arsenal at the Emirates in 2010

Joleon Lescott, scorer of England’s goal against France on Monday, was in the team for only one reason: Gary Cahill got injured. Does this make Roy Hodgson lucky? Not really. He still oversaw the set piece that gave Lescott his goal.

The team still played his way. Fate may have provided Bale’s chance but the confidence he then showed was a result of Redknapp’s man-management. Yet the entries in his credit column are, one by one, being stripped away. Luka Modric’s form is not the work of Redknapp but the insightful transfer acumen of Levy.

This ignores the fact that Modric arrived before Redknapp and was playing like a drain until the manager shaped the team to get the best from him. It was Redknapp who made Levy’s £16.5million investment pay.

Mentor: Redknapp got the best out of Luka Modric (right)

He has taken the club as far as they can go. How many times have you heard that since Tottenham’s campaign faltered? Indeed, how many times have you heard it said about managers and clubs that, having overachieved, are struggling to live up to high expectations?

Martin O’Neill had taken Aston Villa as far as they could go, Alan Curbishley had done the same at Charlton Athletic, Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle United, Sam Allardyce at Bolton Wanderers, Redknapp at West Ham United: except it turned out that wasn’t as far as those clubs could go at all.

It isn’t easy maintaining relative success in the modern Premier League. Just look at Liverpool.

So for Redknapp’s successor, the mission is clear. To improve on his record of two fourth-place finishes. The new man - tactically astute, playing breathtaking football and completely in tune with the two-tier continental management style that worked so well for Juande Ramos and Jacques Santini - merely has to take Tottenham to their highest position since 1990, before the Premier League was formed.

You may think times have changed but on May 23, 1984, Keith Burkinshaw led Tottenham to UEFA Cup victory against Anderlecht and 33 days later he lost his job. How many European trophies have Tottenham won since? None. Now that’s naïve.

it's f*cked the way tottenham let the fans run the club.

all other major clubs keep their fans at arms length to maintain a level of professionalism but spurs basically let the fans sh*t on their own door step

PMSL at this situation

[TF S4DK]

'Arry's not a bad manager, once he's got the players he lets them go out and play and I think Levy respected that.

However the players issue as in signing them, was alwaysgoing to be a issue between Levy & Redknapp, they come from two different schools of thought.

'Arry likes experienced Prem proven, Levy uses too much imagination and wants youthful with re-sellable value.

[TF S4DK]

The Club can today announce that Harry Redknapp will be leaving his post as manager.

Chairman Daniel Levy commented, "This is not a decision the Board and I have taken lightly. Harry arrived at the Club at a time when his experience and approach was exactly what was needed. This decision in no way detracts from the excellent work Harry has done during his time with the Club and I should like to thank him for his achievements and contribution. Harry will always be welcome at the Lane."

Harry said, "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Spurs and am proud of my achievements. I have had a fantastic four years with the Club, at times the football has been breathtaking. I am sad to be leaving but wish to thank the players, staff and fans for their terrific support during my time there."
