Guest Col city fan Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 And the mocking continues.... I don't care if you think I'm wrong, I want you to stop being insulting when that happens. Being insulting! Look in the mirror my friend. Boring and childish.. just two of the phrases you used I believe?Some hypocrisy going on here...
Guest Col city fan Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 If he isn't willing to stop being insulting when he's quite clearly proved wrong, you won't change him when he still thinks he's right. Frankly I don't care how insulting he is, would just be nice if he apologised for it when it becomes obvious that actually he doesn't know everything and didn't get everything right. I knew you'd seize the opportunity to step in at this point Waggy!
Mark_w Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 I knew you'd seize the opportunity to step in at this point Waggy! Feel free to come up with a second joke at some point.
Corky Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Feel free to come up with a second joke at some point. Alright Nige, calm down.
Harry - LCFC Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Being insulting! Look in the fooking mirror my friend. Boring and childish.. just two of the phrases you used I believe? Yes, I said your mocking of others was childish. I'm sorry if you don't appreciate this but unnecessarily trying to belittle someone's intelligence is childish which is what you have done on numerous occasions. Again, apologies if you don't like the idea but I think my comment on your behaviour was a fair assessment. On the other hand, calling someone stupid for missing minor details or simply disagreeing with you is not fair. This is the difference between what the both of us said. Honestly, I was not trying to to attack you personally. I was trying to get you to realise that your manner of conversation is often unwelcome. That's it really.
Conscript Fox Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Probably the most over-rated manager in English football. To think he was seriously touted as England manager. How have you been Bruce ?

tomtom Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 In the same way that Sven was bank-rolled by the club, so was Redknapp by Pompey. It wasn't Sven that signed bog standard players on crazy contracts, in the same way as it wasn't Redknapp who bankrupted Portsmouth. Do try to see the bigger picture. Bit ironic you telling someone to see the bigger picture! Harry knew perfectly well that a club the size of Portsmouth with it's income and fan base couldn't afford the players he was signing but he carried on mis-managing them regardless, and he's basically doing the same again now!...If QPR don't go up this season they are in a real financial mess and he'll more than likely walk away (or join their nearest rivals?) Leaving someone else to pick up the pieces
indierich06 Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 If Redknapp was the master tactician and genius football manager that the English press seems to think he is, then he'd be running away with the league given the squad and resources he's got at his disposal. Col, at the end of the day, no-one has said he's shit, or a terrible manager, just that he's not the genius that people were making out he was when he took over at Spurs, or when he was linked with the England job. It's not even about liking or not liking the bloke. He's overrated. Simple as that.
Charl91 Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Well I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition! NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION.
Dickov22 Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 I think Harry's a good Manager. I also can't see a problem in his comment that we can be caught. What else is he supposed to say if asked the question? No problem with him whatsoever.

indierich06 Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Smiling, Harry Redknapp shook Reading manager Nigel Adkins' hand warmly and cracked a joke at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday. Harmless stuff, usually, only Queens Park Rangers' relegation had just been confirmed and Adkins looked perplexed by his opposite number's jovial reaction. What was so funny? Reading too, will join QPR in the Championship as two of the Premier League's most shambolically prepared clubs consume their just desserts. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail, as Roy Keane would say. For Redknapp, it is a second successive annus horribilis. On 8 February 2012, he was acquitted of tax evasion in the morning and Fabio Capello resigned as England coach in the evening. Redknapp was the heir apparent, according to his borderline partisan following in the press, the same cheerleaders who even sang "Happy Birthday" to him at one of his press conferences. Only Tottenham then tripped over themselves umpteen times that even the worst Arsenal side in years usurped them in the league table, before Chelsea deprived them of a Champions League berth. That Spurs were dependent on Bayern Munich doing bailing them out was testament to how fun yet flawed they were to watch under Redknapp. Taking over Manchester City's "typical" moniker, in Redknapp's four years the club ultimately underachieved. Their memorable run to the Champions League quarter-finals in 2011 was vibrant, but at the expense of dire domestic form. Four months after Capello's resignation, Redknapp was sacked by a Tottenham hierarchy weary with his hankering for the England role. Gallingly for Redknapp, only one of the Football Association's four-man panel wanted him to succeed Capello. Fourteen months on from his court case, Harry has gone down. In 30 years as a football manager, Redknapp has won just one trophy. Aside from Portsmouth's fortuitous FA Cup win in 2008, he has experienced relegation with Bournemouth, Southampton and now QPR. The fawning and fascination with a man who traditionally excels outside the Premier League is baffling. Redknapp did not, as he often reminds everyone, oversee the start of QPR's downfall. Poor mismanagement in the boardroom by Tony Fernandes and the boot room by Mark Hughes saw the club endure a winless first 13 games of the campaign. Eleven players had been signed and after a feckless home defeat to Southampton in November the club looked to Redknapp to keep the sinking ship afloat with 26 games to play. Despite having that time, Redknapp typically failed to issue a mea culpa on Sunday. "If you had the job at the start of the year it would have been different because you build your team and that is your team," he said. "You shouldn't be running around in the transfer window trying to patch a team up, it is very difficult then. I spent days and days away from home all over Europe trying to plug some holes. "You build your team in the summer, that is when you build a team, do your training and get together. The club went 13 games without winning a game and that is quite a bad start by anyone's standards." However reckless and misguided Hughes was in pre-season, he replaced Neil Warnock with 18 games remaining last year, brought in five players and the Rs stayed up after winning five of their final 10 games, beating Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. Redknapp had form for resuscitating a team in peril before when his Houdini act worked with Portsmouth in 2005-06 but his reputation was not as damaged as when QPR hired him to save their season. His huge dependence on money and man-management came unstuck at Tottenham, whose 2011-12 season capitulated when he partnered Emmanuel Adebayor with January signing Louis Saha, rather than deploying Rafael van der Vaart as the Togolese's foil. A simplistic error, Spurs won five of their final 14 league games. In 22 games with QPR, he has sampled victory on a pathetic four occasions. Lessons weren't learned from the summer as they invested £34.1m in Christopher Samba, who has been more like Cumbersome Amble, since joining from January. Clint Hill was appointed captain. Now that's funny. What exactly has that got to do with whether he's an overrated manager or not? I don't mind the bloke and I don't particularly care what he says about us, but I still think he's massively overrated.
Guest Col city fan Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 What exactly has that got to do with whether he's an overrated manager or not? I don't mind the bloke and I don't particularly care what he says about us, but I still think he's massively overrated. The thread was initially not about whether Redknapp was over-rated Rich. It was about his comments on City. As I said about half way down, what do people expect him to say about a promotion rival? That the league is over? Regarding him being 'over-rated'.. by whom exactly? The last time I looked, he didn't get the England job. Finally... I said myself if he doesn't get QPR up this season, it will be a major fook up. Should that happen, he will lose credibility big time.
Buce Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 How have you been Bruce ? I'm good, thanks, Conscript. Yourself? Does your carer know you're playing with the Internet again?
Dan Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 So see the bigger picture then. That's all I said. All your rubbish above doesn't get away from the fact that you clearly haven't. If there's one person missing the bigger picture here Col it's you. The bloke gets a free ride from the media because he absolutely laps up deadline day and has managed most decent sized clubs in the London-centric media. He doesn't convince me one bit. Awful, short-termist transfer policy and lives off the 'success' (sometimes there has been, sometimes not) it brings, without considering the consequences.
Conscript Fox Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 I'm good, thanks, Conscript. Yourself? Does your carer know you're playing with the Internet again? I believe I am well Sir, whether that's the blessing or the curse, only time will reveal. My carer is on a strictly regulated 'need to know' regime. It suits us both, and my www frolicking falls firmly in the not needed category. Don't you be telling on me now, or she might withhold the BJs. And we can't have that.

The post about the bigger picture was alluding to the comment that Redknapp has basically made clubs go bust. Of course he hasn't. He doesn't hold the purse strings, the Owners do. Same as Sven at City. Don't shout without reading the thread thru Dan.
The Doctor Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 £34.1m on Samba? He is the most overrated manager around ATM - his only success came via financial recklessness that would make Greece balk.

But notice how both he and Sven always lurk around where ridiculous spending is going on. I'm sorry but I fail to believe he's completely innocent.
kingcarr21 Posted 13 February 2014 Posted 13 February 2014 Harry Redknapp is a fcuking tool END OF CHAT CLOSE THREAD haha sorry just wanted to stir some s*** up. Quite a bit of handbags going on
XLM Posted 13 February 2014 Posted 13 February 2014 He's turned QPR into a 'make or break' situation financially. Wouldn't be surprised if they end up in administration soon.
