Outcome of Redknapp's Court Case

[vonn]

Simple question :

If Redknapp is found guilty will Levy keep him on as our manager?

Could this be the real reason why we aren't spending at the moment?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

IIRC we had some ITK saying we'd keep him regardless of the outcome.

Also, i've been told that the hearing has been postponed. If that is indeed the case, then there would be no point in holding back on the spending front. It's been said we have to sell before we buy and I think that's playing a larger part than any court case.

I didn't know the hearing had been postponed.

I was just wondering if Levys thinking was, do I want to spend big money on players Harry wants when he might not be the manager in the near future.

I sincerely hope we won't keep a convicted criminal in charge. Harry's murky reputation already hinders our ability to make transfers.

But being above the squad limit, and needing to sell players without making crushing losses, are clearly bigger problems.

Got some evidence on this? or is it just a guess.

 

[Batspur]

There is quite a lot of evidence. At least the CPS think so.

Think you missed the point. The posted stated that Harry's reputation is preventing us making signings. So unless the CPS is involved in that i think you misread the posts :lol:

Does it? Can you give us a few examples where this has happened?

 

[Batspur]

Forgive me, but when I think of the murky world of transfers for some reason I think Red.

Red's rep is great for players. Jut think, if you are a jobbing 30 year old. Harry's your first phone call!

i guess we will just have to wait then

If convicted then the crime will relate to monies earned from football so for that reason I think it makes a bad statement to keep him on.

Plus, if he ends up in chokey what are we going to do? Keeping paying him and ask Joe Jordan to keep his seat wrong?

He can use a laptop via Steam to post his teams.

Purely speculation, but Harry clearly isn't given free reign on transfers. His track record is part of the reason why. And not being able to trust our manager to make transfers in the interest of the club slows us down, IMO.

No manager is given 'free reign' [sic] on transfers. Every manager has his transfers authorised by a chairman.

However, within those definitions, Harry does have free rein as much as any other manager, which he made clear was the main stipulation for him agreeing to take the job in the first place.

 

[wizgell]

I read, although I can't remember where, that the plan is if he goes down Joe Jordan and Kevin Bond will be in Caretaker positions.

Personally, I'd want us to get rid

 

[stevenurse]

if he goes down then a scene from the great mike bassett comes to mind...

"What sort of system am I going to play then? Three across the middle and one in bloody Pentonville?!"

 

[hellava_tough]

If convicted, would it be a custodial sentence or a large fine?

I don't believe that, though you're free to. Harry is a fine manager, who has a poor reputation for financial probity.

If Harry hadn't taken the Spurs job, where would he be now? Out of work or in the Championship?
