Manon Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Malt:... He took over when they were bottom of the table. He was ridiculously sacked for some high school kid when they were in a champions league spot or thereabout. Moreover there was no improvement on that final position even after the guy spent 100 million. Let's not be critical of a bloke just because you may not like him.. That alone is non sensical... He was the best manager, position for position and pound for pound that Levy has been lucky enough to have in recent times and the fruit cake then went and sacked him. I agree with you that it was probably a bad call to let the successful redknapp go, but the situation was a bit more complex that that. Redknapp's team managed to let a 10 point lead over arsenal slip in the final stages of the season, meaning chelsea's (albeit seemingly unlikely) champs league victory over bayern cost spurs their champs league place and with it a lucrative naming rights deal for their new stadium which via they were about to tie up. That's why he went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Actually that's not true considering the DoF Baldini bought the players with AVB apparently not wanting any of them So how is that Sherwood's fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Who's the better manager for Bristol City BCR? Danny Wilson or Gary Johnson? Who's the best manager in Sheffield Uniteds history? Win ratio data is not a true reflection. Anyone with half a brain can see that Sherwood's Spurs are not as good as Harry Redknapps. Taken on their own no, ratios don't tell the full story, but for a mediocre club like Tottenham they're really the only way to gauge if they're on the right track. How many trophies did Spurs win under 'Arry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider-manc Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 1? Pretty sure it is zero. Didn't Ramos win their last trophy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Manon; noted on your reply. However, suffering a loss of revenue, you suggest, being the reason Redknapp was sacked then just exacerbated their problem. I could perhaps half understand some seasoned vet taking over but AVB was so obviously the wrong man at the wrong time it beggars belief how Levy is running a football club. All rather funny these nutty decisions though it has to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well I thought it was a rather extreme reaction from one if the best chairmen in english football. I think there may have been more to it than meets the eye though. And perhaps old 'arry angered some with his openness towards the england job..

havanatopia Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I am sure you are right Manon about there being more to it but then to appoint AVB just cemented my view that Levy has long lost the plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if Levy sacked Arry over this but if he did then I need to start digging beneath the basement of respect with more than just a pick axe.

22A Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Is 7th with the best win rate of any Tottenlol manager since the war really "failing miserably"? The best win rate? Surely Nichollson must have had a better record? Double in 61, FA Cup 62, League Cup 71 plus Euro success in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
