The Two Faces of Harry Redknapp

“I would not want to say if it is a role I would be interested in, because I have got a job to do at Portsmouth,”
Daily Telegraph

“Alan Curbishley may have gone as West Ham boss — but there’s no way I’ll replace him.”
The Sun

And all within a few hours. How to explain it? The Sun article is unlikely to have been written by Redknapp. It will in all probability have been based on a two minute conversation with a Sun reporter. Harry will have been paid around £2-5,000 for it. I doubt he even saw the final version, so I wouldn’t believe a word of it. He’s gagging for it.

Remember how he said he would never leave Portsmouth for Southampton. Or Southampton for Portsmouth?

    mancini is the obvious choice of nani and who do you think is going to be making the decision? nani or bg? im off to the bookies for this one.

    Ballardini has gone to Palermo today.

    People cant be serious about Di Canio surely?

    He would create chaos and would be moved on within weeks (or jailed).

    MANCINI

    Imagine the oaf celebrating a last minute winner at Tottenham with a fascist salute, a disaster waiting to happen if he is employed in any capacity.

  4. tim says:

    Di Canio is a ledgend make no mistake. But management material?

    No to Redknackers, No to Allardyce, No to O’Leary – in fact a big fat NO to anybody British. With the exception of Ferguson they just can’t cut it. Of course if we want to stay as a mid-table team full of injury prone journeymen then a British manager will be perfect.

    I have to say Roy, you are right, there is nothing dodgy about a 10 bob note and you was a very lucky man if your Auntie could afford to give you them! My only suggestion would be if Harry ever gave you one, is to check the water marks, cos it would be dodgy!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/7598744.stm<– Paolo is a true west ham legend. Not sure if by himself should be boss, but please get him involved. In fact, sign him up, I’d turn up to Emley in the freezing rain again just to see him in the claret and blue once again.

    I’m convinced PDC will make a great manager. He may have no experience as such but to say he has no managerial skills is pure speculation. He’s a natural leader, clearly a great footballer who will command respect in the dressing room, hugely charismatic, dedicated, hard-working, a great student of the game, has played under several big name managers (Trapattoni, Capello etc) and, very importantly, a West Ham man. He may need a stint as an assistant (like Mourinho was for Bobby Robson at Barcelona) but I have a strong suspicion he will be one of the few great players who successfully makes the transition to be a great manager.

    Dream ticket for me? Mancini + Di Canio. Fantastic.

  9. Matt says:

    DaDon, I agree – Let’s get on with the Italian job.

  10. Big Al says:

    Glenn your still desperate to be noticed by west ham fans did your mum run off with one?

    What ever happened to PompeyNeil is he still reminising, twat! or did the twat just die.
