Charlie Wayman Posted 26 October, 2008 Share Posted 26 October, 2008 Good luck to him, he has done all he can for Pompey and he knows that all the promises of new grounds and new training facilities are just bullsh*t as they are mired in debt. Unlike many on here I do not wish on them a future like our recent history. We want a strong football presence in the South but with one team heading for the BSQ and another for the Third Division the last thing this region needs or deserves is for it's one remaining team above the parapet to disintegrate in the wake of Redknapps departure and also start falling like a stone through the divisions. What value our infamous rivalry in the Southern Conference with only 316 watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicestersaint Posted 26 October, 2008 Share Posted 26 October, 2008 Because he took us into the premier league, won us an FA cup, and into Europe for the first time. You're in a minority mate. Most of us with a level head and some maturity are sad to see him go but wish him all the best. He's not a Pompey fan, most people in football aren't at the club they support, so any wailing about being a 'Judas' etc etc, is just small minded. Also, the glee from s*ints fans on here merely betrays the fact that you all know what a good manager he's been for us. Thanks Harry, it's been brilliant.....

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 26 October, 2008 Share Posted 26 October, 2008 depends who we get in regarding selling players - I do not believe we need to sell anyway - we turned down a £15M for Diarra on transfer deadline day. however if we do not get a respected british man in a la curbs/alladyce ilk we will be in trouble. either way we were always going to be in difficult times when he chose to leave and thats the point he chose to leave southampton and pompey are now united in the hating of judas thats a FACT !

stardustonmyfeet Posted 27 October, 2008 Share Posted 27 October, 2008 I thought it was very odd that Redknapp was credited with Tottenham's win against Bolton, after all it was the youth and reserve team managers who were officially in charge today. Then again, it was also all Pearson's fault that he lost his first game even though it was still Dodd and Gorman picking the team etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Call Night Posted 27 October, 2008 Share Posted 27 October, 2008 Two things, the next manager for Pompey is critical - there are a lot of tempermental foreign players who have been ousted from bigger clubs, and over the hill ones like Campbell. They have no money to invest and a huge wage bill. Allardyce may not be the man for the job and I think Curbishley is not the manager he is cracked up to be anymore. It doesn't matter who the money is owed to the critical thing is what money do they have in the bank to spend. Like Saints after the Cup they need to realise that they are now ina relegation battle before it is too late. I agree that football on the South coast is in sh1t street with only Pompey doing anythig of note. One thing they have in common they have all be managed and destroyed by Redknapp - Bournemouth left bankrupt, lack of application at Saints and Pompey left cash poor!! I hope the bloke fails and is sacked by xmas!! Childish I know but it gripes my sh1t how little of the blame he took for our relegation whilst others on the playing and board staff seemed to take a disproportionate amount of the blame.

miserableoldgit Posted 27 October, 2008 Share Posted 27 October, 2008 BCN how have pompey been destroyed by arry?? Probably leaving Poopey with an unsustainably high wage bill (as he did at West Ham) after paying big transfer fees for some ordinary players (Nugent 6m??). It will be interesting to see what happens when the transfer window opens in January. Yes, they have had some measure of success, but so did Leeds Utd.

broncoboy Posted 27 October, 2008 Share Posted 27 October, 2008 Harry is poular with th media because he has cultivated the cheeky chappie image who is always good for a quote. Most managers cant string two words together He knows that he needs money to be successful like most other managers not just to buy players but to pay them high wages to come to clubs like Portsmouth. When the money is gone he is gone too. He is always the victim. If Portsmouth choose the wrong manager and dont get some financial backing they will be in the ****.

miserableoldgit Posted 27 October, 2008 Share Posted 27 October, 2008 so, when it comes to poor finances at southampton it is ruperts fault..when it comes to anything redknapp, it is is fault i dont get it?? Some will say that Harry spends money like water (if not controlled) to achieve some success, but that Rupert did not spend enough, when he should have done, (after F.A. Cup Final) to ensure the we not only stayed in the PL, but to move us up to the much vaunted "Next Level".Unfortunately this led to relegation, which was the cause of our money problems. In other words a manager (esp H) will just keep spending as long as he is being fed money, but the Chairman has to know when to release money in a "speculate to accumulate" sort of way.

miserableoldgit Posted 27 October, 2008 Share Posted 27 October, 2008 ok, what manager would not spend money if the board gave it to them? Quite right. ANY manager would, and you can`t blame them for doing so. It is the job of the Chairman/Board to control the Managers spending and release the cash at the RIGHT time. Rupert just didn`t seem to want to do this for the Managers (for 1st team strengthening), although he did spend a lot of money on peripherals. Simply, relegation is the cause of our current financial plight and there is a school of thought that Lowe is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure that it makes him a crap manager but it would seem to indicate that he can only get success with lots of money. When he left West Ham they had one of the biggest wage bills in the PL. By all accounts he has left Poopey in a similar position. His time at Saints would appear to indicate that his management skills are less when he has a much reduced budget to work with. Does this make him a good manager or a crap one? There are any number of managers who have moderate success without spending 6m - 12m (and accompanying wages) on players.
