So he wasn't totally honest about the reasons he left QPR. What a surprise!

[Coxford_lou]

So many backhand compliments towards Hodson! What an ar*e!

[sadoldgit]

No wonder his knees gave out, carrying that massive ego around all day!

Dear Harry

 

Please will you crawl back under your rock.

 

Yours in eternal loathing.

Utterly reprehensible human being.

 

I'll happily repeat what I have previously posted on here, what my old mate Derek McGregor said about him.

 

Derek now works for The Sun in Scotland, but covered Bompey when Redknapp was manager and said: "You can always tell when Harry is lying, It's whenever his lips move."

 

But what is even more interesting is that there is still a journalist willing to swallow Redknapp's carp; Ben Smith, the man from BBC Sport who had a direct line to Cortese.

 

I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any other national newspaper pick up and make a lot of this interview. Granted, a lot of the chief sports writers are over in Augusta at the moment, but could it be they have fallen out of love with Harry?

 

Yes, he might be good for a quote and story, but it's clear he is (and has been for some time) a busted flush, and it might be a toxic to the reputations of papers and their top writers to be championing his cause.

 

In its list of the top 10 most overrated managers (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/picturegalleries/11507021/The-top-10-overrated-football-managers-in-pictures.html?frame=3252631) the Daily Telegraph sums him up perfectly; "Loved by the media for always having a ready quote, a skill that took him to within a whisker of being appointed England manager. Always claimed to be “down to the bare bones” even when managing squads chock-full of expensive talent. Won just one trophy, with a Portsmouth squad so expensive it almost bankrupted them."

Wait - so not being able to trust people f**ked his knees up?

He's not getting another high-profile job any time soon, certainly won't be in the running for the England job when Hodgson eventually calls it a day, and he only released an autobiography last year. There is literally no reason for any self-respecting journalist to attempt to keep in Redknapp's good books these days.

 

Fortunately, it seems as if Ben Smith doesn't fall into that category.

Nice view from his garden though.

Almost????? - It was so expensive they went bust twice!!!

Surely it's time for him to call it a day.

I am told there are people at BBC Sport in Salford just waiting to shove that down his throat at the end of the season. He is not populare at Media City.

I was told by a couple of guys who cover/have covered Saints in the past that Ben Smith isn't particularly well thought of.

 

Too tabloid for the BBC, I think is what was said.

Seems fair enough to me. These were the prevailing feelings at the time.
