hypochondriac Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 Named Premier League manager of the season. Absolute disgrace. I don't wish death on anyone but if it happened to him I can't say I'd be displeased...
saint lard Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 Personally i would've much preffered Roy Hodgson. Very deserving,imo.
SuperMikey Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 Disgrace, Hodgson was the only choice imo. Arry has done well, but he's also spent a f*ckload of money, something which Fulham have not done. My pet dog could take Spurs into Europe with that team..
The Kraken Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 If Ancelotti wins his next 2 games he'll have won the double. So that makes its own argument too. I'd like to see Woy get it, but if winning the double doesn't get the gig then it's a bit of a redundant award.

My pet dog could take Spurs into Europe with that team.. But not really set the PL a light, tbf, if Mancini got Man City in the champions league he would have won it. The top four spots have been so dominated by the normal crowd for years.
Redondo Saint Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 Who voted? Other managers, the press?? If other managers voted then they know best - you can't moan about it as they understand the game better than us. The press have always loved 'arry so no surprise if they voted him. Personally I think Roy should have won it, but give credit to Redknapp for a succesful season.

"The accolade was voted by the Barclays awards panel, which is made up of football's governing bodies, the media and fans." In other words, 'Arry's lunch buddies and some clueless Spuds fans. Meaningless award.
latter day saint Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 wot a load of chuff! how the hell did saggy chops win that ?? as said above should have been Roy Hodgson or Ancielotti.
Right sider Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 If you look at it as a neutral, he did take spurs from bottom to CL in less than 2 years.
Arizona Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 I'm not sure you can be all that upset about it. Yes I know we all hate Bagpuss, but he has taken Spuds into the Champs League. He did it by beating Man City who have spent a heck of a lot more money, not to mention both Scouse clubs and Villa. He could yet finish third and above Arsenal. Woy deserves the European manager of the month, but he is going to be in the bottom half of the Prem this season, well down on last years place.

Woy deserves the European manager of the month, but he is going to be in the bottom half of the Prem this season, well down on last years place. But Spurs have spent the second highest amount on transfers this season after Man City. I could walk into the Spurs job, and sign some players I know are good, doesn't take much. Redknapp isn't a great man manager in the way that Hodgson is. Hodgson has taken a team of mediochre Premiership players (with a few exceptions, Hangeland for example) and turned them into European Cup finalists. Not too bad if you ask me. On the other hand, Spurs have got a team that were hovering around 5th/6th before Redknapp came in, made a few new signings and they've got 4th. Not that hard considering Villa and Liverpool have been sh!t this year, Everton don't have the quality to mount a CL challenge and Man City aren't settled as a unit, so they won't get anywhere fast. Redknapp is overrated as a manager, everyone seems to think he's the second f*cking coming or something!
Thedelldays Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 lol...people are so bitter he took a team from near relegation to the champions league in less than two full seasons...above liverpool and man city fair play to him i bet when pardew gets saints up next season we will hail him as god..if not already
Nellie Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 Redknapp isn't a great man manager in the way that Hodgson is. Hodgson has taken a team of mediochre Premiership players (with a few exceptions, Hangeland for example) and turned them into European Cup finalists. Not too bad if you ask me. Actually, I would argue that he is a great man-manager. He's very good at putting his arm around the players and giving them the confidence to perform to a high standard. That's why it grates so much that the **** rocked up at St Mary's and never bothered trying from start to finish. IMO tactically, he's nowhere near Woy's level. That's why Fulham have overperformed massively this season whilst not spending a lot, whereas Spurs have had to spend substantially more.
The Kraken Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 he took a team from near relegation...... Spurs had played 8 league games when Redknapp was appointed. Even by your own negative and inane standards, to imply they were "near relegation" is utterly ridiculous. They had had a ridiculously under-par start to the season considering he money they had spent and the squad they had. Even still, 30 games away from the season and "near relegation"? Have another go. i bet when pardew gets saints up next season we will hail him as god..if not already And we can only hope that you and some of your even less enlightened acquaintances will have to acknowledge a job well done when this does happen, yes.
RonManager Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 If you look at it as a neutral, he did take spurs from bottom to CL in less than 2 years. Yeah, but apart from that - nothing.
The Kraken Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 If you look at it as a neutral, he did take spurs from bottom to CL in less than 2 years. Indeed; he has done a good job, no doubt about that, but there is a tiny bit more to it than that for him to be given "manager of the year". Spurs have had the Premier League's 2nd highest net transfer spend in the past 3 years. Only Man City have outspent them. When 'Arry took over Spurs were massively, massively under-achieving. They had a decent squad and had added to it with one of the form strikers from Euro 2008 (Pavluchenko) within over £100M of spending in 18 months. This year, Spurs have finished 4th; they've not won the league, or even qualified for the Champions League yet, just the prelim round. Carlo Ancelotti may well this season win the league and cup double, signing only a reserve left back (Zhirkhov) and reserve striker (Sturridge) this summer. Is he really less deserving of the award than 'Arry? Redknapp has done a very good job at Spirs, there's no doubt about that. But to win a manager of the year award for 4th place in the league, despite huge transfer spending for the past 3 years? Nope, not for me. He would perhaps make top 4 or 5 (Ancelotti & Woy definitely ahead, Slur Alex and maybe Arsenal Wenger).
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Lol at everyone on here getting their prejudice about saggy face getting in the way of saggy face's accomplishments. Roy has done very well in the Euro's however it is essentially a cup comp and not a league format that awards for overall form over a long period, at the end of the day Millwall got to the FA cup final............and portsmouth............ Be honest, like i said earlier, the main four (liverpool, Manure, Chelsea & Arse) have been unbeatable in the chumps league stakes forever and so saggy's achievment cannot be overlooked. Again, Saints apart, saggy is a fantastic man manager and if i was to name a single 'english' manager to take on the national team he would be my top choice, get over the saints pompey prejudice and see him for what he has done. That is a fantastic job, if mancini had got there, i am sure he would have won it however he has not, Totenham where almost relegated when he took over, man up and accept the work he has done, i hate the saggy faced c*nt and supported City Wed but he has done a good job, accept it and move on.

Thedelldays Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 So now saggy has not done so well Because he or spurs have spent loads Hmmm hope you are not as harsh on pardew then
krissyboy31 Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 I assumed Avram would get that award. It's so unfair, votes should be won on the football pitch, not cast be the football authorities! British fair play would have seen Avram WORLD manager of the year.
krissyboy31 Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 lol...people are so bitter he took a team from near relegation to the champions league in less than two full seasons...above liverpool and man city fair play to him i bet when pardew gets saints up next season we will hail him as god..if not already I agree with what you're saying but Hodgson should have got it because Fulham were in a similar position, when he took over and have taken them to a European final (the only manager in UK to do so) on a much smaller budget than Redkrapp has had.
The Kraken Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 So now saggy has not done so well Because he or spurs have spent loads Hmmm hope you are not as harsh on pardew then Still constantly trolling for an argument... Since your last post, where has anyone said he has not done well? I said twice that he has done a very good job; but that I believe there are a small number of other managers who I believe have done a better job with the resources given this season. Pompey blinkers have nothing to do with it; it can't be that hard to understand, surely? As for the Pardew comment, I'm not sure I understand. Are you suggesting he should be given the manager of year award next year if we finish 4th?
Bad Wolf Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 I reckon if any other manager had achieved what he has at Spurs, we'd all agree...
saintkiptanui Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 lol...people are so bitter he took a team from near relegation to the champions league in less than two full seasons...above liverpool and man city fair play to him i bet when pardew gets saints up next season we will hail him as god..if not alreadyand spent more than anyone else other than Man city, it p*sses me off so much when people come on here and say well done, blah blah blah, c*nts.

Redknapp is overrated as a manager, everyone seems to think he's the second f*cking coming or something! Liverpool have spend probably a couple of hundred million under Benitez and they're sh*t. Man City have spent more, Villa have spent a reasonable amount. Spuds were also within striking distance of Arsenal going into the last game. I do think Hodgson is better, but when it comes to the Prem 'Arry was 4th and Woy was 12th, even taking money into account I'd say Spurs have had the better season in the Prem.

Arizona Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 Stop calling him Arry, he's not your f*ckin mate and stop kissing the saggy c*nts arse, just shut up. But you have no problem with me calling Hodgson 'Woy'?
saintkiptanui Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 But you have no problem with me calling Hodgson 'Woy'?Why would I??? I like woy but every saints fan shoud detest the saggy faced c*nt and certainly not be on mates terms with the disgusting c*nt.
RonManager Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 Why would I??? I like woy but every saints fan shoud detest the saggy faced c*nt and certainly not be on mates terms with the disgusting c*nt. Triffic' post

Hitler did a great job putting the unemployed to work building the autobahns, doesn't mean I liked him. Redknapp looks like a twitchy sack of potatoes, but he's done a decent job on Spurs.
Doctoroncall Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 (edited) Harry the story teller: "Thought I might draw your attention to the cheeky chappy Sir 'Arry of Redknappshire. That is, of course, Redknapp, the media darling for his oh so witty anecdotes. Firstly, listen to him regaling a 'hilarious' story about Paolo Di Canio in a West Ham v Bradford match (result 5-4) in front of a group of cackling Sky people. How that West Ham were 4-2 down and, after sulking, Di Canio came back on to set up two cracking goals before literally fighting Frank Lampard for the ball to take the winning penalty which he chipped over a stranded keeper to make him look stupid. 'the best one ever, a true story ... I swear ...'. And then watch the actual match highlights ... He did get the result right" - Kev Stokes (the fiver letters). Edited 10 May, 2010 by Doctoroncall

The9 Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 For the Redknapp apologists, this is ONLY THE SECOND TIME that the award hasn't gone to the Premier League winning manager. Now ask yourself if anyone thinks Spurs have done anything THAT impressive to warrant this award - hell, they were in the top 4 practically all season under Martin Jol until dropping to 5th on the last day. It was only terrible management of the players for the following 3 years that got them even close to the bottom, and they have top 6 resources at worst. Aside from Ancelotti (champions in his first season, more goals scored than any other Prem-winning side), who would be the obvious choice, and even looking past the BorInG 4, Mick McCarthy getting Wolves safe with games to spare is a far more impressive achievement. It seems to be the equivalent of Giggs' Player of the Season award last season - a token lifetime achievement award when the obvious candidates weren't really as good as they usually are, despite being poor and still beating everyone else. In Redknapp's case its the hacks thanking him for his rentaquote behaviour.
skintsaint Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 on my lunchbreak i have read two articles, one about Joe Cole and another about Walcott and surprise surprise they ask Redknapp what he thinks.... Why do the media do this?"
Ponty Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 on my lunchbreak i have read two articles, one about Joe Cole and another about Walcott and surprise surprise they ask Redknapp what he thinks.... Why do the media do this?" Because he gave both of them their professional debuts?
FloridaMarlin Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 Because he gave both of them their professional debuts? More importantly, because he gave the media his telephone numbers. He is one of the few (if not the only) Premier League managers quite happy to give out his numbers (even I've got his mobile and home number) and prepared to be questioned and quoted on any subject. What has Joe Cole's future got to do with him (other than the tenuous link that he gave him his debut), or the way in which Walcott learned of his exclusion? Not much, but if you're a journo with space to fill on that awkward day when England are in the air, Redknapp is money from home. Phone him up, and he'll talk. And people wonder why he is manager of the year. It's a two way thing, of course. Without the day-to-day drama of the domestic season and with everbody focussed on the World Cup, Redknapp is in danger of suffocating through lack of the oxygen of publicity. His willingness to be available to the media ensures he is never out of the headlines for long, which serves to keep his profile high. How did the story linking him to a Middle Eastern club get into the media? How many stories have you read about Carlo Ancelotti or Alex Ferguson since the end of the PL season? There's also the handy-dandy by-product that if you have the media eating out of your hand, they're less likely to turn around and bite it.
stevegrant Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 There's also the handy-dandy by-product that if you have the media eating out of your hand, they're less likely to turn around and bite it. Until things eventually go pear-shaped for him at Spurs and the large swathes of Spurs support in the press get their teeth into him and don't let go...

His willingness to be available to the media ensures he is never out of the headlines for long, which serves to keep his profile high. I bet he'll turn up as a pundit on the BBC WC coverage, with his standard ''dat bwoy daaaan gud'' quote.
trousers Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 Saints fans in chip-on-shoulder anti-Redknapp rant shocker..... ;-)
St Landrew Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 Perhaps it's a load of back slapping voters. It also possibly shows that Hodgson still isn't fully recognised for his quality, in his own country. However, I think if Fulham had won the Europa Cup, 'Arry would have been nowhere near him.
Scudamore Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 I bet he'll turn up as a pundit on the BBC WC coverage, with his standard ''dat bwoy daaaan gud'' quote. Is he of Jamaican descent then?
Hatch Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 Is he of Jamaican descent then? he can be anything you like if the brown paper bag is big enough.
dellgirl Posted 2 June, 2010 Posted 2 June, 2010 If the saggy one is such a wonderful man manager how come his whole team went to Ireland to play golf when he told them not to and they just went behind his back, respect I don't think so.
