Agree, we need a swift and definitive resolution to this. I really do feel its a good time to part ways with Harry now.

Nowadays the two sort of go hand in hand, but I guess this transfer window will tell.
My imagination was certainly not stirred by Ryan Nelsen or Louis Saha, that's for sure!
My imagination was stirred by the signing of Modric, wasn't yours?

Have I missed something? What does this Cambridge nonsense have to do with ITK?

I rate you Mr Pink, but the same goes whenever there is something that gets highlighted from 'rent-a-quote' Redknapp. I don't understand why people just dive in without waiting for the full context.
He also said he has as good a relationship with Levy as he's had with any chairman he's ever worked with, unsurprisingly nobody has even mentioned that.

It sounds like there's been an extension offered but only a year or so and at his current wage while Harry wants a longer extension and probably a raise. I think any extension at this point seems foolish because Harry would almost certainly be fired if we have have a bad start to the season or have a another 2nd half fall-off and it would just tie Levy's hands in having to pay off the rest of the contract. If he did well, it could be extended in January or next year.
For Spurs, the only major benefit of tying him down to a longer contract (assuming Levy doesn't want to keep him around more than year or two anyway) is to get a larger payoff if someone came in for him, but at his age and with England off the table, that seems unlikely. It was probably a factor, however, when the originally extension offer was made in January, knowing that England would likely come calling after the Euros.

Doesn't have to be though. With one year left on his contract, even a full pay off (which it won't be) would only cost us £3.8m.
With AVB, van Gaal and Capello all currently unattached (and Martinez and de Boer relatively) cheap, the whole thing could be sorted over night.

Nothing. It's just a place. A place where all the inhabitants deserve to get fucked, and all those in the surrounding areas. None are exempt. NONE.
Seriously, though. I don't know.

Vertonghen is at the Radisson Edwardian at Heathrow, watching porn and bashing one out. The 'under the radar' player is sitting inside a cannabis cafe in Amsterdam called 'Amnesia' toking on some Pineapple Haze.

He's hardly gonna say that he and Levy don't get on. That really would be career-suicide.

Especially when castigating DL for not backing H in the transfer market.
Let's leave the lunatic fringe to their usual thing. H is like marmite to some. He's got pros and cons to most and this is where many disagree. Some think his pros outweigh his cons and vice versa.
I just want JV to bloody sign already. Get that done I can relax a bit and move on from my suspciion that this summer will be exactly like the previous 2. Possibly a last minute wonder signing (VDV) but most likely not (crickets).

Why?

Why would we give him a raise when he's currently the 10th highest paid manager in the world? He's certainly not the 10th best! He earns the same as Ferguson and Wenger FFS.

Pineapple Haze? Used to be good old Purple Haze or Cali Orange in my day. Bloody yoof of today, no sense of tradition.

I just don't understand why you are all getting so uptight about this interview. He was asked a question about his future and he denied there were any relationship problems with Levy and that, as he was an employee, it was up to management to decide if they wanted to extend his contract. All perfectly reasonable comments. Just give the man a break he's the best manager we've had since we were in the PL.

To be totally honest mate, I didn't really know much about him when he signed. The club record fee suggested that he'd be decent though.
Plus, that was four years ago and to me it seems as though a lot has changed. Would a player worth 16.5m now be willing to accept wages within our structure? That's not meant as a particularly weighted question, I just would be interested to know if there is someone out there who has contacts in the world of football.
I obviously hope they would, but I suspect that clubs like City, Chelsea, Malaga and PSG have skewed the demands of highly rated in-demand talent somewhat since we signed Modric.

I'm waiting for the obligatory 'don't we have to wait for the stock market to open as its over 10% of turnover' question (which was never the case and certainly not now that we are no longer a PLC).

So true.... I've got a feeling I know what way it's going to end up....
