BS2 Red Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Harry is one of those managers that I don't dislike, but wouldn't want to see anywhere near my club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Wouldn't have HR as the assistant manager, he's turned nasty now he's been given a bit of power as assistant Emperor. Bit like Lord of the Flies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only going to end one way. That’s not true....he continually brought in more in transfer fees than he spent, at every club, with the exception of one of his spells at Pompey - but even then he spent just a bit more than he recouped....it’s all a myth about him ‘leaving clubs in a financial mess’ when he leaves....

I'm not trying to be awkward here but yes; he recommended over the hill players for top dollar wages. He may not have signed their contracts but he pushed for them and people believe good old 'Arry.

There's half a dozen specifically listed in here: Samba, Camara, Boogers plus the amazing statistic that he had 134 transfers at West Ham which makes LJ's odd Engvall incident seem rather trivial. http://backpagefootball.com/harry-houdini-leading-another-club-to-financial-ruin/55658/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, I have not posted on the wrong thread. Broken Dreams by Tom Bower - I bought a copy on the strength of this and have just got round to reading it, I think we all know how rotten football is with agents, nepotism, bungs and back handers, but bloody hell, this book, whilst 16 years old now, certainly lays the greed and self serving bare. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t read it, in many other walks of life, many of the major players in management, club admin and the FA / Premier League would have been facing jail sentences. Sadly, I don’t feel much has changed, no wonder some people have lost their love of football and feel detached from what was once a real community.

What Bower has to say was shocking but not surprising, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
