Quote from: "The Man With A Stick"
MON would be the most unlikely Spurs manager ever.

No more fancy foreign signings.
No free-flowing football which they're known for across the whole of Fleet Street.

Never in a billion years.  There'd be more chance of Osama bin Laden getting the job.
Totally correct!

I'd be utterly staggered if Redknapp became Liverpool manager, absolutely staggered.

Yeah, why would they want the manager who topped the 'long ball' charts last season?  Wait a minute.....

(And before I get into a 'pro/anti-MON' argument, I mean that from the perspective of the Spurs footballing philosophy being a bit of a myth!)

Dont think Osama would be any good, he would just stay in the dugout the whole time and never come out

I read somewhere that before he came to us Spurs were after MON, but he refused because of the then set up with a Director of Football.  MON said at the time If you have the responsibility you should have the authority and visa versa.  

Things have changed though, there is more money at Spurs and now they they are in the CL.  He might view it as a better job than either Liverpool or here.

He will go where the money takes him, he isn't interested in CL football before he retires.  The potential for wheeling and dealing at Liverpool is enormous.  

He is the one decent manager who could go there and make a bloody good job of it.  The Liverpool fans would be far more likely to accept him than Hodgson so why not?

I reacon the only purpose in him making the public remarks he made would be to float his boat in front of the fans and test the reaction.  If the Liverpool fans go for it the club will and if nothing else, that might provoke Spurs to offer him a new contract.  Clever man.

He might be interested in that actually, given his present unemployment. He was let go from the position of Scapegoat at his previous cave when it became apparent to sane human beings that he had nothing to do with 9/11.

True but you'd never know when they'd launch an attack.

I would be amazed if Redknapp went there he's never managed up north and I don't think he ever will.  As far as I know he still lives in Bournemouth and commutes to London.

Well he was interested in the Newcastle job and thats one hell of a commute!

When I first heard it I thought it was unlikely, but the more I think about it the more interesting it gets.

When is his trial listed for?  Why haven't Spurs offerred him a new contract, I would have thought he could demand what he wants at the moment.

I think moving to Newcastle is what put him off going there I think he is happy living where he is.  I could see him using Liverpool to get a new contract at Spurs.

I wouldn't rule anything out with harry.,but although they have problems there's no doubt Liverpool are one of the very biggest clubs in the world, and huge worldwide support-to manage them would be a huge temptation.
