Just thinking about controversial figures within the game and Sepp Blatter came to mind. 10 hours ago, Sepp Blatter said: This evening I was fortunate enough to spend the evening with Harry Redknapp as my company sponsored a charity evening that he organised for a poorly boy. We got speaking about football (obviously) and he asked who I supported. He spoke with genuine respect for Bristol City and how great a club it is. He mentioned that it was ran really well and even spoke about what an important game it tonight was. I had to ask him the obvious question "would Bristol City be a club you would be interested in managing?" And the answer was an enthusiastic yes. He stated that it was a great location and we should be playing in the Prem. I didn't really have an opinion on Harry as a person, but after spending an evening with him, I've got to say that he is a very down to earth and charitable gentlemen who has a deep passion for the game. He is a million miles away from the character that some people make him out to be. He'd 100% take the Bristol City job and I think we could be a lot worse!!!! He is a great guy with a huge depth of knowledge for the game, he is 69, not that would be a problem for some, but I would like him here in some role, we need someone who understands football, to date we are bereft of this.

Yep Arry bought La Lupa an Italian night 'club' in B'muff, just after we had our wedding do there...minted. He could even sail here, and take the lads out on a jolly in his yacht for a bit of team bonding. Back in the day, Sandbanks was a popular venue for some of the more colourful and bohemian types I recall, now a disgusting money pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate who's a Spurs fan was down there for a friendly against Bournemouth a few years ago when Harry was still their manager. They knocked on his door (or rather buzzed his gate) and he came out for a chat with them. I thought that was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, what a money maker that would have been! It's not next door to 'Arry's, I was shown his house, and it's nowhere near where this place is. This was one of the few remaining original style houses in the street. Lovely little bungalow, I'm sure it will get knocked down and rebuilt before too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 So Arry would like to come here and I believe Joe Jordan still lives in Bristol (saw him a while back with his missus in Clifton). I would have thought we could do a lot worse than hire these two if they could work with the current squad on the understanding that the transfer funds had already been spent.

I like harry, always have and i would love to see him at city but it won't happen. That's not calling the OP a liar, that's calling the hierarchy at city cowards. They would never make an appointment like that as it's a big risk (forget hiring a 34 year old league one manager with **** all experience).

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Great man manager and will get the team working for each other but looking at his record of teams managed there is one scary connection Bournemouth - Financial trouble after redknapp left West Ham - Financial trouble after redknapp left Pompey - Almost identical to Bournemouth after redknapp left Saints - Financial trouble after redknapp left Spurs - Fair enough if he blown their budget that would've been remarkable QPR - Wage bill through the roof and now struggling financially after he left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was ridiculous before he got there. Southampton were in trouble when he took over aswell. Portsmouth was a massive overstretch on everyone involved with the running of the place.

Point I was making, money management isn't his speciality. QPR's was high but signing players like Assou-Ekotto didn't really help lower the wage bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Harry as well completely by chance in an airport on one of my visits back to the UK , he really seems a genuine nice guy. I've never mentioned it or defended him on here because as a new member I would have no doubt been shot down in flames. I hope someone reading this has contact with SL because Harry could be just what we need to get out of this mess, even if only for remainder of the season.
