I wonder why he elected to come to us when he must have had more attractive footballing and financial options? I thought he completely unbalanced our defense in the first few games but by and large he has had a positive impact and for that i am grateful. As to like or dislike it's irrelevant - as my old Marketing Director used to say -  you don't have to like me, but you do have to respect me.
Was your Marketing Director Il Duce?

ha! he was a hard as nails Liverpudlian my then company recruited from McKinsey's - probably the world's leading management consultancy back then. I never really warmed to him as a person but had total respect for his professionalism and learned more from him than anyone else in any  company I worked for.

Some of the toughest, scariest blokes I know work in marketing.

I genuinly thought he'd come he and it would be the John Terry show. But fair play to him as he's just got in with it and kept his head down.

A wonderful analogy for Terry so far with us...

I wonder how Gerald Appleyard will get on Sunday? Be interesting to hear the reaction from them lot as he reportedly turned down a move there. I bet he must be thanking his lucky stars he didn't rock up with Harry after all that's happened.

Exactly, he was never gonna go there. It was just another in a long line of Redknapp’s tall tales and they lapped it up his bullshit.

He was in so many ways the perfect manager for them. It's a shame it had to end.

As much as I'm not a fan of 'Arry I'm pretty glad it did as I think he would have turned them around. I don't know what the owners were thinking (unless of course Cotterill was the one really responsible for keeping them up last year and his absence was the reason why they were doing crap?).

He was taking them down crashing and burning, and the whole would have played out through his very mouth on any media outlet which would listen, which of course is all of them.

It would have been brilliant. As it is they'll just go down boringly now.
