[Dundalk_Spur]

Needed a last pay day??

Good luck to him. No idea why so many people on here hate him.

I didn't like him but since he left he has always been complimentary about us even sticking up for us. So wish him all the best.

He has a tough task 3 games to keep them up, villa and bristol away and huddersfield at home lucky he is 3 points ahead of the next club. He has a tough task as they have the hardest run in and I can see them losing all 3 but as likely to win all 3. Good luck to him

About his level.

 

[SUIYHA]

Crouch & Kranjcar signings imminent. Defoe in a year's time.

Can't do any worse than Zola. That has to be one of the worst decisions in recent memory

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

That's a bugger of a commute from sandbanks!

Brum are 3 points above the relegation zone with three games left to play.

A massive Birmingham derby away at Villa on Sunday, followed by a game vs play off contenders Huddersfield (they're in poor form though) and then what could be a relegation decider vs Bristol City away on the final day.

IMO they need 3 points out of their remaining 3 games. Reckon Harry will get that as they're not a bad side at all.

I think it's more likely that they survive on the basis of Blackburn being shit...

Although our club is on the verge of greatness and I wouldn't swap poch for anyone, I can only wish Harry best of luck and thank him for some great times and football until poch came along.

Forest are on a bad slide as well.

Agreed but the worst decision is not getting rid when it became evident that brummie were on a slide to the first division

Harry gave me my most favorite moment ever which was the win against man city and think it will always be my favorite moment. Simply because all I had dreamt was of us getting into CL and thought it was a never going to happen dream but when it did I fucking was so so proud.

He started us off on this journey in my view. Never understood the vitriol towards him

Agree mate yes Harry is Harry but he got the wheels in motion and got us top four twice, however poch is really something special imo.

 

[easley91]

Harry gave us two top 4 finishes, a Champions League quarter final and an FA Cup semi final.

He brought us the best of VDV, Bale, Modric etc.

Can't begrudge him. Good luck at the Brum Arry!

 

[Gbspurs]

Great to see Redders back in the game. Wish him the best of luck.

 

[Skye Sauces]

Yes Harry - good luck in your 3 weeks as the 'new manager' of BCFC!

 

[tttcowan]

We were in such a shit state when he took over. No Keane. No Berbs. Staring down the barrel of a relegation dog fight. We'd looked like we were going somewhere and then it was all being taken away from us.

And then he came along and turned it all around. In his tenure we had some truly wonderful times, that clinching of top 4 for the first time was a monumental achievement. More so than the Carling cup. You don't get top 4 on a fluke like you can win a cup with some well timed performances. The Milan games. That 4 all with Arsenal which kicked it all off.

Yes it ended in tears but Wenger at Arsenal is ending in tears and he's there most successful manager ever.

You don't have to like him but he deserves our respect and thanks as spurs fans. We wouldn't be where we are now without him.

Apparently he'll be on almost £2 million a year, or £2.7 million after tax

I still reckon the day Arnesen waked through the door was the turning point. Martin Jol became the man, the website changed, European football was mentioned again, heaps of players/characters came to the club and we were desperately unlucky not to reach the CL earlier than we eventually did.

Although there has been stumbles since then - including Arnesen's departure, I think that's when the mood changed and we started to look upwards.

Redknapp played a strong part in the evolution and I'd always thank him for that but the way we ended his last season was appalling and I can't forget that either.
