Hypothetical question -If Gus went would you be happy with Redknapp

[Icy Gull]

I don't think Gus will be going anywhere for a while but having seen Redknapp touted as his replacement, it would be interesting to know how many of you would be happy?

I know he has an excellent overall record with producing teams that play decent football and has "been there and done it " but I don't think I'd like to see him here with all his baggage and cliched "bare bones" pre and after match interviews.

He did say when he brought Spurs to the Amex that he thought we'd make the Premier League within a few years. not sure I'd like him to be the one to take us there, although I am quite sure he'd probably take us to another level, with the backing of TB

Would YOU want him or not?

 

[RedSteve65]

Hypothetically yes. Would prefer to see a younger manager given a chance - like we did with Gus; but in the unlikely event that Gus went I wouldn't be unhappy with 'Arry.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Much better than Gus, he's a man that's done it all in terms of management.

I'd love it.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

No. Two of the clubs he left soon went under administration, two others got relegated. The only club he left in reasonable nick was Spurs. The man is a liar & blagger.

Libellous.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Wouldn't really be particularly happy, but would give him a chance.

This. Too many times to be coincidence.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

No. And personally, I don't see why anyone would. This way madness lies.

 

[Trigger]

I'd rather McCarthy & Connor to be honest!

 

[shaolinpunk]

I know who I'd want as the first choice for the job - OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER

 

[Bruntburger]

Glen Hoddle only worthwhile replacement for Gus

Now we've gone to ridiculous extremes - why not Alf Ramsey.

 

[Commander]

If Gus left, then yes. I'd be pretty confident in Bloom to keep him in check, so I don't see how we'd end up in a Pompey situation. Whatever anyone says about him, he is a decent manager and he plays exciting football and would attract good players. I'd much rather we stuck with Gus though, for all his faults. He's still learning and it's great to have a young, hungry manager in charge.

Harry Redknapp would not come cheaply and would probably begin wheeling and dealing to make extra money for himself. As others have said, he has only left one club in good order.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I'd prefer Ralf Rangnick to be honest.

 

[Commander]

Harry Redknapp would not come cheaply and would probably begin wheeling and dealing to make extra money for himself. As others have said, he has only left one club in good order.

The only one that had a decent Chairman. Bloom would not let him bankrupt us.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Louise?

she's got an old Albion shirt somewhere

Oh right, when's the last time he did anything of note managerially then? It's like people who suggest Curbishley all the time.

 

[Storer 68]

No. Two of the clubs he left soon went under administration, two others got relegated. The only club he left in reasonable nick was Spurs. The man is a liar & blagger.

This. And the court case hardly improved his reputation. I wouldn't think he'll work in football again,given that

 

[Mellotron]

Managers I would want other than Gus:

Martinez
Rodgers
Guardiola
Di Matteo

So, no.

So, no.

None of these are remotely likely of course.

I'd be very worried about having Redknapp in charge - not so much on match days but for all the wheeler dealing he does between. He'd be a very high risk option in a financial sense.
