This is quite contradiciting, in that your main point is that Redknapp is taking a huge gamble and yet you end up saying that it’s not even that much of a risk –

“Get it wrong and it’s a small blotch on an otherwise fine management career, in a job where it could be argued no-one could bring success. Maybe it’s not such a gamble afterall?”

Standard shout ‘Woodgate’. I’ve seen a lot of banter over the years but none as hard hitting or as unconventional as this. I call a whiskey orange challenge to settle this. Up the Spurs, by the way. Leave Redknapp alone, we’re a bigger club than Pompey – fact.

hold just a minute, for someone whoose telling me not to comment on a team u presume i dont support, didn’t you just pass judgment on two managerial casualties?
i agree the person who supports the team does have a better idea on how things r going at there club, but at the same time they can b blind to good job they can be doing
curbishley is a great example of that took a west ham team to comfortable mid table half way through the season, they had such a big gap they could afford to under perform and look they finished in the same position
look i did it fine commented on a team i dont support and made a valid point, hope you take note

i think wat you’ve missed is that the fans want these fans out just as much as the board does
how you can say your opinion is more warranted than anyone else is inaccurate and naive, if anything an outsider has a better view than a fan of the club concerned
saying jol should deserved to go is the stupidest thing ive heard 2bh while ramos was welding his magic i bet u were gagging for him to come back

When will hack wannabe journalists realise that Spurs fans are not responsible for managerial comings and goings at the lane?.We can only proffer an opinion as do you.However ours maybe more warranted as we actually watch and care about the team,as opposed to some who comment on the team and have no knowledge or affection for the club,in fact it could be fair to say quite the reverse wouldn’t you say?.I see Mr Murphy that you seem to ask a lot of questions in your posts,is it because you are not sure what you’re talking about?….

Yes, because Spurs have done so well for themselves since Jol left, haven’t they? The way Jol was treated – who to his credit acted with great dignity – was nothing short of disgraceful.

When will Spurs fans realise that sacking managers constantly will not bring them the success they unrealistically crave?

Jol was limited and deserved to go,undermined possibly but most realised he couldn’t cut it.Ramos’s league record or lack of it speaks for itself,don’t you think?.As for you Shaun don’t start thinking you’re a journalist will you?..

In the sense of leaving the comfortable, no pressure environment of Portsmouth to the high-pressure environment at Spurs, where 6 managers have been sacked since 2001, it is a bit of a gamble, I would think.

With the potential that Spurs have on their books, the ability of the individuals shown at the highest levels for clubs and county, and with Harry’s ability to unite a team and boost confidences when needed I don’t see how you can conceivably look upon this as his biggest gamble yet unless it is your attempt at playing devils advocate to induce vehment abuse and aggrovation as responses.

It is to be admitted that Spurs need strengthening in a few positions, and boosting in the confidence and teamwork area, and without a doubt if a mere supporter like I can see it then an experienced manager like Harry will too. So wind in that trolling neck and let the man do his job.
