You sometimes wonder in football why people make the decisions they do. Daniel Levy might be an astute businessman but his decision to sack Harry Redknapp, the former England favourite and transfer market specialist, borders on the ridiculous.
Harry Redknapp has been unusually quiet in recent weeks hasn’t he? Speculation across the blogosphere suggest it is because he is set to leave White Hart Lane later this week. Others claim all is well at Tottenham Hotspur between himself and chairman Daniel Levy and that a new deal is set to be signed.
Somewhat of a follow up to the yesterday’s season review; the summer is usually a dreaded time to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan. A time of speculation for the prized assets regularly being linked with a move away from White Hart Lane.
Crash, bang, wallop, what a win. The first time Tottenham Hotspur win at the Reebok Stadium in their history and what a way, and time, to do it.
Well, well, well. I gather Harry Redknapp awoke on Monday morning feeling pretty damn silly. After all the talk of the Tottenham Hotspur manager being the ready-made replacement for Fabio Capello with England, the Football Association have since made their first move to bring in West Bromwich Albion’s Roy Hodgson to succeed the Italian.
The Butterfly Effect. Coined by Edward Lorenz, it is defined as a ‘small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state’. Think back to Sunday October 23rd and what you were doing that day. Not a particularly exciting day of sport, well apart from Tottenham Hotspur defeating Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park, and when the North Londoners could actually win a game, but we shall get to that later.
I think it’s fair to assume that Harry Redknapp isn’t everyone’s cup of tea at the moment. Since Fabio Capello resigned from his role as England manager, with the Tottenham Hotspur manager subsequently, and instantly, instilled as the bookies’ favourite to succeed the Italian, the win rate of the North Londoners has significantly dropped from 65% to 30%.
I’m sure many Tottenham Hotspur fans have seen the rumours of an alleged training ground bust-up over the past week involving manager Harry Redknapp and Emmanuel Adebayor, Younes Kaboul, Aaron Lennon and Kyle Walker, with the former two reportedly told they won’t play for the club again with Redknapp in charge.
Angered, saddened, distraught, dejected; just a few of the descriptive terms I felt as I trudged back down Wembley Way this evening, following the 5-1 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in the FA Cup semi final.
We’ve had to suffer a weekend of non-Arsenal action! I hate those weekends! Although, for the club it’s probably a good thing. It gives the players some extra time to prepare for their next game.
After being tipped for a title challenge early in the season, Tottenham Hotspur have endured a shocking recent run and now their place in the top four is coming under threat by the inform Newcastle United.
If the season was six games old, Tottenham would be hovering just two places above the relegation zone. Wolverhampton Wanderers would remain bottom, 19th would be occupied by Liverpool and the two teams below Spurs, sharing the same six points, would be Aston Villa and Stoke City. That’s right; goal difference is what puts Harry Redknapp’s side out of the bottom three over the last six games.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp admits he is unsure about whether to succeed Fabio Capello as England manager or not.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed he would be interested in signing Lille wideman Eden Hazard, but fears competition from Manchester United and Manchester City.
