saw a comment today from an fa board memeber saying that redknapp should be next manager for england because he has that winning menatlily.

The man they really want is Charlie Sheen.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Because it's selective and poorly thought out.

You've taken the position that 'Arry is brilliant and then selected the facts which support that assertion and blindly ignore those which show that while he might be a decent manager he's really nothing that special. Spurs falter and instead of conceding that he might not be the messiah after all (but, as the rest of us can see, a very naughty boy) you say it's not his fault. It's zimmtacular logic, frankly.

Someone posted this above which is a more realistic analysis of his career:

Arry is by no means a bad manager, but he has proved is he is not this world class manager the Ghel's have been ,aking him out to be.

He never go out of England to a big club because he knows he'd be shown up for what he is.

No - just countering the opposite view mostly expressed that appears to imply he is useless. There are better managers around, of course - there are managers who can motivate players better, for sure. But he is not a completely useless idiot as some seem to be saying, in essence.

Redknapp has never been touted by any of the really big clubs because he's not at that level. He's decent enough but nothing special or the big guns would have come knocking. He probably is one of the best options for England but only because there are lamentably few other viable options.
He will fail as England manager because he won't be able to wheel and deal and the players aren't up to it (which isn't his fault).

I'm not sure anyone has said he's useless. I certainly don't think that. But the media fawning over him is ridiculous. He's nothing special. He's done OK at Spurs because he inherited a good squad which was massively under-performing and got them playing as a squad of that ability should. He's deserves some credit for that but he's hardly worked miracles, he's just got a squad of that quality where they should be.

i agree with you on that.

redknapps approach is very much a 'get on the pitch and run around, shoot and put the ball in the back of the net'.

thats completely fine at the lower level cause all you need is good management skills to motivate players and get a team to play properly. at the very top/elite that isnt enough. you need to be tactically astute, something he isnt. i remember when pavlychenko came on a couple of times and scored winning goals during the space of a month, media hailed harry for turning his career around. a reporter asked him 'what did you tell him to do' and harry replied 'i told him to run around and shoot'. the media made him a fuckin guru and thought it was genius.

well it really wasnt

fact is, when its come to the cream of the crop e.g. against us, against united and so on, he's fallen short. there's a reason why teams dont play 4-4-2 anymore but he insisted with it recently and fucked up majorly. he didnt play lennon either during the past month when it was clear they needed pace. even playing modric on the right instead?!

point im making is his tactically inept and at the very top you need to be tactically astute. if he ever took hold of man utd they'd fade away quickly, hence why no top club has taken a punt on him.

So the kind of thing we want in an England manager then.
