Convict Colony Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 I was unable to locate it in the 5 minutes I devoted to the project. I did find this article which is fairly recent and relevant. Perhaps the information is proprietary so journalists can get access to it for articles, but the whole list is not publically available. Or perhaps I just failed in my googling. It is time for bed. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2901692/Newcastle-midfielder-Moussa-Sissoko-Premier-League-s-fastest-player.html Cheers redslo, good to know you spend time googling Southampton so you can get to sleep at night hahaha. Interesting stuff, yeah I was quite disappointed I could find it either but agree it's probably proprietary so they won't let the masses know for free.

Convict Colony Posted 7 February, 2015 Share Posted 7 February, 2015 I just published "Good Riddance Harry Redknapp." http://redsloscf.blogspot.co.uk/ http://redsloscf.blogspot.com/ Really interesting read that one, I never knew he received a cut of all transfers a policy which I suspect has followed him around everywhere except Spurs as Levy does actually have some money management skills. I'd quite happily allow HR that policy if it swings the other way as well in that he pays 5% on any loss on transfers, bet he wouldn't sign up for that. Also I'd heard he takes a % of a players wage for playing him or for just buying him, I think that would explain that Portsmouth player (name escapes me) who he has signed like about 4 times and never played.

I do not know if he received a cut of all transfers. It might have been limited to ones where he was responsible for both the purchase and the sale. But that doesn't matter to me because the entire concept is a gross conflict of interest. Edit: I just found this https://www.westhamtillidie.com/posts/2014/10/02/in-defence-of-harry-redknapp So he received a bonus for his part in negotiating the sale of Rio Ferdinand to Manchester United. I suppose this is somewhat better than taking a percentage of the profit, but it still doesn't seem right to me. And this: http://www.socceramerica.com/article/24712/redknapps-disgrace-not-a-shock.html So now I have to buy and read "Broken Dreams" by Tom Bower.

Redslo Posted 24 March, 2015 Author Share Posted 24 March, 2015 (edited) That Redcafe thread is bloody hilarious now. So much ignorance. I thought so too. But it was interesting to read their reactions without the personal emotional distress involved in the similar threads there. I was mainly surprised that many of them assumed the RK was objectively and indisputably a bad manager. Edited 24 March, 2015 by Redslo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redslo Posted 24 March, 2015 Author Share Posted 24 March, 2015 Hi Redslo, what was the thought behind this? "Financial Fair Play, which many view as a barrier to our further ambitions, actually makes it difficult for most of the clubs in the world to compete with us on transfer fees and salaries even if they have a very rich owner." I addressed this issue in an earlier blog post. http://redsloscf.blogspot.com/2015/01/financial-fair-play-friend-or-foe.html Basically, I concluded that while FFP could limit our ability to compete, it only did so if we have an owner who wanted to spend in excess of 12 or 13 million pounds a year on the team and that the owners of Man City and Chelsea would be willing to spend a lot more than that. On the other hand, it blocked teams with lower income than us from competing with us--even if they picked up a new rich owner. The new Crystal Palace ownership will be interesting to watch. They are rich. So long as they do not qualify for Europe, they can out spend us by a net of around 27 million pounds a year. Will they do that? We shall see.

This one is entitled "Concussions and Brain Injuries in Football". http://redsloscf.blogspot.co.uk/ http://redsloscf.blogspot.com/ OOPS. Meant to post it first time. Wow ! ....I have to take my hat off to Redslo .....who made this final table prediction in August 2014 as post #1 on the thread. looking at today's table ...with only 8 games left......he has predicted 12 teams EXACTLY correctly. 7 others are +/- one place, and Palace are two places better off than he predicts (the Pardew effect). I think the top end points tally may be a wide off, but have great admiration for his judgement....hope he bets just as well on match scores.
