blackoutthesun Wed 08-Feb-12 20:01:54

great news smile

marge2 Wed 08-Feb-12 20:11:27

...and Redknapp isn't quite so busy !!

sodapops Wed 08-Feb-12 20:12:59

I was thinking it couldn't have come on a better day for Harry, really!

Voidka Wed 08-Feb-12 20:13:10

Can we please have an English manager now - i.e Harry!

ThePathanKhansWitch Wed 08-Feb-12 20:14:23

Ooh, didn't see that one coming. Thought he'd of sat out his contract tbh. I'm off to have a look what the England squad are tweeting.

Fregley Wed 08-Feb-12 20:14:26

My cat would like to say he still has a job depsite all rumours to the contrary

scratches sofa

DH is a Spurs supporter and is hoping Harry doesn't leave...

weblette Wed 08-Feb-12 20:21:02

Can't say I'm at all sorry to see the back of his attitude, whatever his skills as a manager might be.

There are some things to get stroppy about, this wasn't one of them.

G'wan Harry, you know you want to....

Or then again the Chosen One is looking to move back to the UK apparently...

Meglet Wed 08-Feb-12 20:28:24

Not Harry. Too dodgy.

Isn't Mourinho free? <<hopefull>>

TidyDancer Wed 08-Feb-12 20:30:20

Fabio is a tit. Not sure I want Harry though.

NO you can't have Harry. He's OURS!!!

<spurs fan desperately hoping he doesn't leave>

Avantia Wed 08-Feb-12 20:36:05

If not Harry - who then ?

if anyone is appointed as an interim, they know 'Arry will be waiting...

Avantia Wed 08-Feb-12 20:39:21

Twitter has mentioned Sturart Pearce as interim manager - a few quips about another Italian leaving a sinking ship . shock

noooo, not Pearce......nooooo......well, speaking as a Scot, 'go Pearce!' grin

Psycho will do a good job as a stop gap. He has bought on the u23 team well. Harry wont quit spurs til the season is over and City have the prem league in the bag.
If not Harry then who?
Roy Hodgson?
Steve Bruce?
Nick Barmby?
Frankly I think they should get shot of all the dull boring dusty old farts that run the FA (thats all they are good for..... FA) Bring in some younger more passionate people to run the game. Lord Sugar would be my first choice then appoint a younger more foreward thinking manager and leave him to it. Chop out all the over 30yr old players and get the young blood in.
Germany did it a few years ago and look at them now!

Yama Wed 08-Feb-12 21:01:06

Do you think he just defended Terry so that he could go off on a cream puff?

MrJelly Wed 08-Feb-12 21:08:58

It feels a bit like fate to me - Harry gets cleared in the morning and his dream job (which he would never have got with the tax evasion charge hanging over him) becomes available in the evening grin

Harry all the way for me!

Just so amazing that dirty 'arry has been cleared today of all days, ain't lifes little coincidences grand eh ?[hmmm]

MollieO Wed 08-Feb-12 21:10:51

I hope that Bernstein made it clear that his position was untenable and made him resign. Really glad he has gone. I never understood his unquestioning support for someone as odious as John Terry.

normaleggy Wed 08-Feb-12 21:18:01

Jose Mourinho.
Or Roy Hodgson

yy Yama, agree with that. I don't think his heart was really in it any more, this gave him a good excuse to get out.

reckoner Wed 08-Feb-12 21:19:55

Jeez, I thought it was the cat then. Phew.

Yama Wed 08-Feb-12 21:22:22

Normaleggy - he could leave with his 'principles' intact. FFS.
