S-Clarke Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 Harry is quite a pleasant chap actually well respected in the Football world but he did not do well when he was here last. It does not show much maturity not wanting him because he was successful at Portsmouth all the pompey supporters I have met are OK too just like you and me supporting their local team. I dont think he will come by the way what we need is somebody to assist Nigel who has PL knowledge It's not because he was succesfull with Portsmouth, it's with the speed he ran back to them and stitched us up. That's pretty unforgivable if we're honest. I remember when we first got him back in 04, most fans were pretty ok with it - but his actions here have totally changed that reaction happening a 2nd time.

Joesaint Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 In all honesty I would rather we went back down than employ that man back at our club. You want success? At any price?? That man betrayed this club in the worst possible way, never gave a toss, never gave a chance to the youngsters that now earn a good living in the top two tiers, dumped us for Pompey and kept them up... How people can want him anywhere near this club is beyond me. He betrayed us in the worst way possible. Surely there are more important things than football? Such as principles? I think this is the problem... NC will want to stay up at any price, put yourself in his position. If you were NC would you want to take the best chance of staying up (think of the money involved)? regardless of 'loyalty' - I'm sure of it. Look at what HR did at spurs when he took over, what he did at scates (OK, a budget was given to him that was very high!!!!), what did he do at west ham? He is a good manager and I believe players would like to play for him. If he came also it does destroy the myth that the manager is just a puppet of NC (something I have never agreed with anyway) Who knows what will happen.

Frank's cousin Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 Well footba;; is certainly full of turnarounds, backstabbing odd decisions, so whilst I dnt necessarily believe this rumour, it would not surprize me... do I want him back, no, but surprizingly not because of his past or history with us (which to be Frankn made him a prize arsehole), but simply because a) I dont like the baggage he comes with, from his transfer dealings to his dog Rosie and b) because I dont rate him when he has a side that is struggling - he showed feck all of his 'famous' mana managemnet and motivational skills when here last time, when we had a squad that should have had enough quality to stay up, so what he will be like with a young squad that is struggling to come to terms with the reailities of this league, is beyond me and c) because I canmt see him getting on with a chairman who is VERY involved with controlling the finance available for transfers and wages....

If the club monitor this forum about these sorts of things, they will have a clear idea of the antagonism we bear Redcrapp. If Redcrapp were also thinking about it, he might have a look here too, to gauge the fans' response. He can be in no doubt whatsoever that he would be less welcome than genital herpes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 HR needs Joe Jordan by his side to be successful. When he was with us Bond was the sidekick ,but Jordan adds the fear and steel in the dressing room. I always thought HR had a tough time here, he wanted to bring in quality but was left with dross. no real leaders and as he said at the time 'a quiet dressing room' I always will recall Claus face as he was waiting to go onto the pitch at FP, he was like a rabbit in headlights. When we got relegated any decent players went and we only bought Fuller (who was a decent player but the fans scoffed at him for being only 90k, and from Pompey, if you look back he was a bargain if he had been welcomed) HR had little to work with and add to that the insettled fanbase as our frustration of not going back up immediately took its toll. i think we were fourth when he left, and he could see the writing on the wall and jumped ship. i dont think it was spiritual home stuff, just the realization that the fans were going to turn on him.

Depressed of Shirley Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 It wouldn't stop me going or supporting the club, but any success would be a result of the players, and any failure the result of Judas's managerial failings. I hate the bloke personally, but if he is manager, then there is nothing I can do about it. I am not sure he can do anything about the defence though, as we can't actually sign anyone until January, and last time he brought in Calum Davenport and Olivier Bernard for f**k's sake! The bloke is a tool, a crook, a Judas, and I wish he would do the decent thing and use his media friends to get rid of a manager of a club that actually might want him.

Well they'd be wrong. Last time he took over here in a similar position he got us relegated. He has a poor reputation for coaching. What makes you think he can improve our defence? Accounts in Monaco under the name of his pet dog and all that goes with it, why would anyone want that associated with their club? And that's all before we even get started on what a two faced skate c**t he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 Call me old fashioned but IF Redknapp got the gig I would see how it panned out before making any judgements. I do have ambitions to express knee jerk emotive opinions mind you. Just never been very good at it. spot on, football is a results driven game and I would rather go and watch my team win than spend a season and money watching them get hammered every week. I could not give a **** who is in charge as long as they get results and play decent football.

Pedro Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 See fans at Blackburn have made the club change its mind on an appointment. I never liked the way HR failed to connect with SFC and could never say "we" always them and they. He came to us because of a "lovers" tiff with MM and didn't improve our position one bit. BUT, I do want us to survive and considering NC will do what HE wants then what will be will be. My personal opinion has been that when Nigel got us promoted, that was job done, he could have been paid off then very handsomely, retained an excellent CV, be employable at any Championship club and we could have appointed a more experienced man then. We have needed someone who could attract premiership class players, I have doubted Nigel's ability to do that. Love the man for what he achieved for us and hate seeing him going through all this negativity (that I have been drawn in as well). Glad NC has not given the press the headline they are looking for of a vote of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinR Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 This reminds me of a Harry quote actually.... talking about dodgy people taking over football clubs and fans reactions... he said that football fans are fickle by nature. If Saddam Hussein became chairman and spent loads of money, theyd all be singing "theres only one Saddam" So I guess, utimately the vast majority would return to SMS and sing his name if we win 6 on the bounce, its a law of football.
