0% Villa: Benitez sacked (Confirmed p.6)

[pauliewalnuts]

Like him or not, he's done an exceptional job at Spurs so it wouldn't really be a surprise if he were linked.

However, his comments on the previous page are probably 10 percent "I want the Liverpool job" and 90 percent "I am using the Liverpool talk to improve my position when I go and talk to the little bald fellow about my new contract"

Fair play to him

i wont believe a word that redknobb comes out with...

if that twitching cockerney barraboy told me that water was wet, i would have to check twice...

He's a conniving, thieving, two-faced, saggy-faced, twitchy-faced, lying gobshyte, shyster, shitbag, shithead, dickhead, knobhead, media-whoring cockspank.

Aside from that, I guess he's an ok sort of bloke.

Come on troy, what do really think about him rather than sitting on the fence?

[Dan England]

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.

IIRC Harry wanted to fly up daily from Southampton. Newcastle wouldn't let him hence it didn't happen.

I think you are right, pauliewalnuts.

He has proved that he can build a team in the short term, but there  is no logical reason to prove he could not do it over a longer period. He is a good manager.

Harry Redknapp reacted to reports linking him with the vacant managerial position at Liverpool by confirming that he would be ‘happy’ to sign a new contract with Tottenham.

The Merseysiders are currently weighing up their options as they look to bring in a replacement for Rafael Benitez following the Spaniard’s departure after six years at Anfield. And, while the likes of Roy Hodgson and Martin O’Neill are the most fancied for the post, that has not stopped speculation linking Redknapp with the position.

However the former Portsmouth and West Ham chief insists he has no plans to leave Tottenham, having guided them into the Champions League next season. And he would also like to stay with the north Londoners beyond the end of his current deal which expires next summer.

“I am not being presumptuous turning down Liverpool, because I haven’t been offered the job and haven’t spoken to anyone about it,” he told Soccernet.

“There is no need, as I have one year left on my contract at Tottenham and I am not thinking about anything other than being at White Hart Lane next season. I can tell you that I have not been offered a new contract, but that doesn’t mean I am looking to move on – far from it.

Very clever Harry,play one off against the other, either way you can have a big fat new contract, though most of that will go towards that tax you failed to pay a few years back!!
