The9 Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 ...speechless. Harry Redknapp and Mick McCarthy on MotD this season. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19292797 That'll be me recording it and skipping the talking bits anyway. A season of "fcking Redknapp said this about us" awaits. And I thought Lee Dixon going to ITV was bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 I like Mick, he's in my top 10 of people to go for a pint with. Harry is obviously a c*nt. Plus he's going to be angling for a job back in football so is just going to pander to, well, everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 I quite enjoyed Mick McCarthy's commentry during the Euros just says it how he sees it which was quite ammusing....as for Redknapp hardly a surprise given he has always been a rent a comment for the media.

Don't that stop anyone though. Quite agree with you. Since the dirty washing over his leaving Saints so disgustingly went thru the machine, Harry's gone on to prove what a decent football manager he is. Having to work under someone like Lowe in a financially tight situation that we now know all about, I think most managers would have left. As an off the cuff Cockney comedian he can be quite hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaford Saint Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Holy moly others think he's OK too!!! The last straw for Harry whilst he was here was having Woodward sharing his office with him and Woodward being groomed to succeed him...and Woodward appointing a coach who in turn signed Jason St Juste (I think that was his name) without Harry's knowledge. Not many guys would tolerate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 I do think Harry is a good manager but I believe he's crud with finances, his football clubs and his own. It's like on Football Manager (for instance) where you get a budget to spend, blow it, and then ask the chairman for more (or do everything in your power to manipulate the budget to bring in that extra player.). I still don't like him, he's a cockle and will always be. He has a face you want to slap. (Only if you did that, it probably wouldn't stop wobbling.) I hope the MOTD set can cope when Saints win, I hear a Redknapp twitch measures 6.8 on the Richter scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let that stop anyone though. I find it very hard to like or respect Redknapp despite the successes he has achieved in the game as he clearly did not give a flying f*ck about Southampton. He only came to Saints in the first place to make a personal point to that Serbian portsmouth owner . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guan 2.0 Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Redknapp is a chequebook manager, as his time at spurs showed. He mismanaged his squad to a degree that their seasons fell apart through lack of cohesion and position management, despite spending ludicrous amounts. He has such an 'eye for a player' that he almost let bale go to Nottingham Forest before an injury crisis forced him to play him. He relegated saints in 20th position, worse than when he took over, after failing to identify key targets, and instead spunked the money on Bernard, Callum '****ing' Davenport, and his cripple son. Bear in mind this was before Woodward was at the club He and McMenemy's son chris then colluded on a very dodgy deal to bring Marcelo Tejera to saints, in which £100,000 went missing, and Tejera never played. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/southampton-mystified-by-163100000-that-went-missing-416213.html Bear in mind that this was at the time he was telling anyone with ears that he only had a 90k transfer budget (which a few morons on here still parrot to this day), despite chasing clinton morisson and robbie blake over the summer (combined fee 1.3 million), despite CM publically stating he was only going to move to london. He then walked out on saints, to our arch rivals, letting it be known that "his heart was never in it from day one", and sealing his 'legend' by winning a cup tie against a divison one team. A man whose one 2 talents are spending/pocketing cash, and evading jail. Anybody who thinks otherwise is deluded IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we're talking about his worth as a pundit here and his ability to provide some insightful comment. Frankly he just doesn't have that ability (a bit like his son). If you want cliche ridden, regurgitated opinion that anyone can deliver then 'Arry's your man but he doesn't offer a whole lot else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let that stop anyone though. If by "inciteful" you mean he incites hatred, fair enough. If you mean "insightful", he has no insight whatsoever that the drunk bloke down the pub doesn't have. Just regurgitate the following phrases "my Sandra said" "proper club" "nice lad" "the foreign boy" "done good" "bare bones" "brought him to " "I don't know about... " "My missus could have scored that one" And other such banalities. Give him a tactics board and see if he can explain anything to anyone...
