Taking the p*** out of people's facial features is tantamount to childhood bullying regardless of how and why they look like they do.

Plenty of legitimate reasons to give Redknapp stick without resorting to childish insults.

I'd ask him for his thoughts on Broken Dreams by Tom Bower, if he's read it.

Unless we're talking about David Platt. There's an exception to every rule.

Ask him how a mediocre footballer who never played international football and a manager who was sacked by almost as many clubs as he bankrupted should ever have been taken seriously as a potential England manager?

Then ask him how a mediocre footballer who never played international football and a manager who was sacked by almost as many clubs as he bankrupted ever became a multi millionaire?

Actually, thinking about it, I know the answer to the second question. Get a good accountant and tax adviser and then burrow yourself up the backside of naive Club Chairnen and Sky TV executives and producers.

Bob Paisley, Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough, Ron Saunders and Sir Graham never played internationals. BFR's greatest playing achievements were for the Villa fourth team.

I'm not sure that's quite fair Dave. Atkinson played a lot of games for Oxford too, not a top level player but a decent league career.

I take your point, but you aren't seriously comparing those first four managerial greats with Redknapp, are you? I don't think any of them got clubs they managed bankrupted and/or relegated, did they, and while Redknapp won a FA Cup with Pompey, and had a couple of half decent seasons with West Ham and Spurs, he never won a damned thing as far as I can remember.

As for BFR, I'd put him in a similar category to Redknapp. Essentially a media darling and very much a legend in his own lunchtime as a Manager.

Isn't Redknapp the only manager who has got Spuds into the CL?  I'd say that was a decent manager.

Well Clough's final act as a manager was relegating Forest.

Atkinson, whilst not top drawer took us and Man Utd close to the league title. He got the Utd gig on the back of giving that lot down the road their best 2 or 3 seasons in the last 50 and had the balls to try managing abroad.
Redknapp's never managed anywhere more than an hour's drive from where his dog can withdraw money by paw print.

Your head looks like a scrotum. Discuss.

Maybe you should find out about why Dave W. would like to know about his friendship with Brian Tyler before resorting to that kind of puerile bollocks.

Edit. Just seen PWS' post from last night. Playing catch up and didn't notice the time stamps or look for replies.

I must admit I feel like a complete penis and rightly so. I had no idea whatsoever that he had been involved in any accident. I'm jumping off the bandwagon.

Edit: chasing to get back onto the Bono bandwagon or the man who presents Homes Under the Hammer (not dublin).

I'm not keen on taking the piss out of his appearance, for the reasons stated in this thread and, countless times before, elsewhere on this forum.

He's still a terrible human being and a poor manager though, take the piss out of those facts instead.
