Harry Redknapp is a terrible manager, he had a good run at Spurs thanks to signings Juande Ramos made and the fact that he loves spending money. He drains teams of their money and acts like nothing is his fault but takes all the credit when things go right. He's also a tax evading scumbag and the media's darling.
He's finding any excuse to leave the club now. Serves him right too, arrogant fool. He should have taken the Ukraine job after all.
I have views on him, based on his record at Spurs, but I want to know your feelings.
He has told the QPR board that he will leave if they don't back him in the transfer market. The player in question is Wayne Bridge.
So, is Harry right? Is he the player they need to get back in the premier?
Personally, I think Harry is wrong. He loves old players and pays them a fortune. Just look at Portsmouth and the damage he caused there when he wasn't managed by Peter Storrie (don't get me wrong, Storrie is to blame for Portsmouth, but it highlights Harry's preference). Harry also tried to sign David James at Spurs and was reportedly offering him £50k a week (this was 3 months before Bournemouth dropped him...) Harry also insisted on Saha and Neilson coming to Spurs, who were both older, past their best players. Levy wanted younger players as the club can sell them at a profit.
My opinion on Wayne Bridge-
He's 33 in 2 months and has hardly played in the last 10 years (131 premier league games in 10 seasons, so averaging 13 per season). He chose to sit on the bench and earn money rather than play for a different club on less money (let's face it, he was a millionaire after his move to Chelsea so he didn't need to earn big money), so that shows his character imo.
Very interesting to see if Tony Fernandez is going to be as strong with Harry as Levy was, or if he'll fold and send QPR the same way as Portsmouth...
