Yeh you're right......no managerial pedigree, no experience, no past successes, no contacts.......in fact he is a complete waste of space

Its not about his managerial pedigree is it? its about the long term future of this club and he isn't the answer, like @Bar BS3 says he leaves clubs in a big mess when he leaves plus all the baggage and hardly think SL will allow that happen.

Experience yes but what successes has he had? One FA Cup, One Intertoto Cup, One FLT, one L2 title, Playoff winners and one Championship...

Successful? Yes

Leaves every club he's involved with a complete mess? YES

Not a chance this is true and IF it was then SL clearly doesn't mind a few £million going missing. 

How did he leave spurs in a mess? QPR were a shambles when he walked into the job and he should never have taken it.

I've genuinely got a charity lunch with him on the 22nd of February. We're sponsoring the event, I'll look forward to asking him then.

I really can't see Steve Lansdown letting someone like Redknapp any where near his business.

If he was looking it would be more like a Howard Wilkinson type .

 

Therein lies our problem. Not willing to go with the proven but difficult to manage option.....

Don't want Harry Redknapp at our club. The last time he was here he tried to run me over, chatting on his phone whilst pulling into the car park at AG. 

No really he did! :sad26:

I'm not sure I want him here as our director of football if he can't even direct a 4 wheel drive into you, especially within a confined space, poor tactics and the wrong formation to blame, tut tut Arreee.

The OP first suggested Taylor joining, which now looks more like the case.

Odds on him being correct about Redknapp as well?!?

True. Reading back, it doesn't even seem that unrealistic. We simply cannot be relegated and Lansdown will do anything to ensure we aren't - even if it means paying Redknapp a big fee to help out. He still lives in Dorset I think which is commutable a couple of times a week..

I think Johnson is the type of guy who would be open to working with someone as experienced as Redknapp in an advisory position on football that doesn't overlap with Ashton's role.

The board have backed Johnson heavily this window, and today if Taylor and Isgrove come in we will probably have spent over a million today alone. Despite the idea of our system enabling minimum disruption  if the manager is changed, that's big backing for a manager who's job is supposedly in danger..

I wonder..

Redknapp has been a chequebook manager for years with very moderate success , and his alleged  contacts in the game won't be worth a toss after today when the window closes.

I obviously don't know LJ but he comes across as very confident and probably goes to his old man if he feels he wants advice. If this is happening its because SL is flapping but won't sack his lad. I can't see this being welcomed by LJ at all.

Agree - I think if this happens that'll be the most likely explanation. SL needs the Johnson appointment to work, he took a big risk appointing him and has backed him massively.

I suspect that if Alan Pardew saw something he didn't like LJ doing, he would act. He comes across as very forthright, and unlike Redknapp, who I think would just be here to draw a fat cheque .Pardew is an active manager who despite being sacked regularly gets work in more esteemed clubs than us, so not as likely to sit back and accept what he was seeing if he thought it was a crock.

Would SL want his protege upset by (possibly) being told he's wrong? From the outside looking in, LJ looks like an indulged son who has been feted and given everything he wants so far. Would he welcome someone like Pardew if the latter told him to set up differently with frozen out players? - would anyone for that matter?

Of course if this happened they could get on famously, but I get the impression LJ is one of those who wants "his" people around him.

Redknapp would be a Director of Football whereas Pardew would be a replacement manager. Remember Trollope at the Gas only did OK with Lenny Lawrence as DoF. As soon as he went, Trollopewas clueless as a manager, as proved by his Cardiff stint. Some people are coaches, some are managers. Take your pick on LJ.

Apart from his terrible run at Palace, Pardew did better than most would have managed at Newcastle given the circumstances, plus his previous jobs went fairly well. And even a relegation avoidance specialist like Big Sam struggling to get any more out of Palarse....

I am not holding my breath on any of this tbh.

Interesting thoughts but to my mind, if Harry was to come in as adviser it would mean a couple of things. Foremost LJ would still be in charge and picking teams and tactics , which hasn't gone that well really (King of the understatement) . There wouldn't be a massive change , specially if LJ gets the hump and ignores any of Harry's input . Pardew  , bit of a loose cannon but bags of experience and no little (comparative ) success .
I have to add that I know nothing, if I had been in charge of choosing managers during SL tenure I would have made a way bigger bollix than Steve ever has. Most recently , I wanted Pearson but definitely not Monk ........ See !
