Noggin Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 Good stuff .. I read Redknapp's bits in a strong cockney accent, anyone else do that ha? Yep, I also heard chas n Dave in the background whilst reading it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 Read this somewhere else but felt it deserved it's own thread: http://www.espn.co.u...ory/173355.html "None whatsoever, not a chance," Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "Mark Hughes is a top manager, I have heard nothing from anybody. I had the same thing last week, I picked up the paper to see I am going to Ipswich because I know the chairman - I'm not going to Ipswich. "The next thing I am going to Leicester. I have never had any contact with anybody at Leicester. They are flying - Nigel Pearson is doing a great job at Leicester. I don't know where it comes from - somebody makes the story up." So do you think we can finally put it to bed? "I have never had any contact with anybody at Leicester," is a carefully worded and entirely ambiguous statement. At this stage I'm much more inclined to believe Ricky Hill but would be interested is hearing our owners' answers to the following simple questions: "Has anyone spoken to Harry Redknapp or any of his contacts/representatatives on behalf of Leicester City concerning whether Redknapp would be interested in managing here if Nigel Pearson's job were available? "Have the owners of Leicester City, or their representatives, talked to anyone this season with a view to talking over from Pearson if the job were to become vacant?." "If the answer to either of the above is yes, then why have these questions been asked given the exciting and clearly potentially effective way our current team has been playing all season?" I am not particularly interested in what Redknapp has to say or the unlikely notion that he might have been interested in Pearson's job. I'm interested in what our owners have to say about whether Pearson's situation has been undermined and whether they've gone behind his back to sound out a replacement at just the time when they should have been showing the guy maximum support.

Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 I'm not naming the source, but it's a long term employee of the club, who is very reliable. If you don't want to believe it, that's your choice. This is my info too, from an ex employee of the club tho, so an independent source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 Of course Redknapp is going to deny it, Pearson is still in a job! What do you expect him to say?! I know for a fact that Redknapp and his advisors have met with representatives of the club, at least twice. I know for a fact that they definitely haven't.

Zingari Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 Harry linked to QPR and Leicester ? I can’t believe Harry has an eye on both these jobs . He hasn't got enough eyes for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 Is anyone naive enough to think Redknapp would come out and say he's spoke to the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsthejoeker Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 From the Observer Harry Redknapp on the links with England: "My focus is all on Tottenham." (• 2004: Portsmouth's Harry on links with Southampton: "I won't go down the road – no chance." • 2005: On links with old club Portsmouth: "I've no idea where this has come from. It is absolute nonsense, a stupid rumour." • 2008: On links with Spurs: "It's absolute rubbish. Portsmouth is my club – I feel immense loyalty. To leave would be a betrayal. This is my last job in football.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst your views on NFP's and the teams performances are perfectly sound, others look at them differently. Results wise august was horrible, sure the team was showing attacking intent but it was also, in the main losing. By the end of the month I was pretty twitchy and I don't have £60m invested in a club that has just been beaten, quite comprehensibly, by Burton Albion. Thats Burton fooking Albion FFS. I find it entirely reasonable that, at that point in time, the owners would be looking at the possibility of replacing NFP, but I very much hope that the last 5 weeks have changed their mind. It is now pretty clear how the squad is developing and that is very encouraging, but could you say the same back at the end of august with poor results and disgruntled players hanging around like a bad smell?

Les-TA-Jon Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 Also remember what happened when Sven was sacked? They clearly had no one lined up. If any kind of meetings between representatives has happened, it's probably just the club trying to learn from last season's mistakes; ensuring that the "feelers" have already been put out there, in case they "have" to sack Pearson. I imagine most Clubs maintain a discreet level of contact with available managers throughout most seasons. It just makes sense. I'm not pro-mid-season-sackings though, and I think even if we don't sustain this good run of form and results (which we won't) we should give Pearson the time. I think we'll be in the playoffs come May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
