Don't Go Harry

It is amazing what a manager can do 1 and a half years and follow on the next year. Harry has changed the flops of Juande Ramos's side and turned it into a world 11 which was capable of beating Inter Milan. Aslong as Champions League Harry Redknapp has brung the belief that we can beat Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Luka Modric, Peter Crouch, Van Der Vaart, JD (brung back from portsmouth), and many more are just some of Harry Redknapps tasty signings. I throw my hat off to Harry who has broken records such as: 18 years without winning away to Arsenal, First Champo League for Spurs, Got us to the Carling Cup final for the 2nd year running and was only the second manager to win premier league manager of the year without winning the league.

Now I put club before country any day of the year. So when Harry emerged favourite to become England manager in 2012 when Capello's contract ends, I was naturally disapointed. The fact that Harry did not denie intrests in becoming our England manager added further dissapointment. But I plan to make the most of the next two years with Harry even if he does go. Maybe we will win the Champions League surely that is enough to persuade a manager to stay at a very decent club.

Harry Redkanpp last season
In 2009–10, his first full campaign with the club, Redknapp guided us to our most successful Premier League season to date. Beginning with four consecutive wins, We went on to finish in fourth place in the league, thus gaining the chance to qualify for the Champions League by means of a play-off. As a result of his efforts he was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Year award, only the second manager to do so in a season when his side did not win the title. :)

If Harry does go no man would be better for the vacancy than Martin Jol, who has earned his rightful place in my all-time favourite managers of Spurs. He gained 5th place in the league 2 years in a row and in the first year we were rather cheated out of 4th as a chef at the marriot hotel fed food posined lasagne to our players. Due to illness our players were all fighting to stay on their feet during the game against West Ham on the final day of the season. We lost 2 - 1 and as such we were subsequently dropped to 5th in the league with rivals Arsenal stealing 4th spot by just a point. Martin Jol enjoyed a 1 year stay at Hamburg after getting the sack from levy during which he got to the semi-final of both German Cup and Eufa Cup. He also finished 4th in the German Bundesliga after holding first spot for a record 28 weeks. 3 losses in his last 4 games dropped them into 4th spot.

But if I could pick any manager to mange spurs for the next ten or twenty years i'd pick Harry.

Please stay Harry :)
