dubai_phil Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Good ole 'Arry, make sure the PR machine makes you out as the good guy all the time :-) But in this case it is appreciated, he didn't need to say it. More to the point is the throw-away from Lawrie at the end. "We deserve to be at the other end of the championship..." or words to that effect. Lawrie - we are IN this mess because from relegation day one we failed to understand that we were a CCC team and had to FIGHT our way out. This whole "we are better" stuff is just arrogance. Peterborough United are a better TEAM than us. Until we accept our reality and plan to change it. we'll just be a bunch of moaning dreamers, otherwise we'll have moans that we should be signing "PL quality players" that we "deserve" in order to get out of League 1..... We know how that worked in the CCC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Just lifted from the Soccer AM phone interview. Jamie was a sofa guest and he had nothing but good things to say about Saints and the fans and they phoned saggy chops and asked about our present predicament. There were Saints fans in the Luther Blissett stand though, so he might have said something different if there hadn't have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Are Peterborough a better team than us, or do they just have a better manager than Wotte? Discuss. Empirical evidence suggest they will play higher level football than our team next season... As for how we got there, please turn to page 1 of S4E, then page 1 of TSF and then page 1 of TSW...

chocco boxo Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 "Am Arry Boy everyone loves me , real diamond geezer me, loved my time relegating you lot before returning to my spirital home" We will probably end up having Jamie as our next boss!!!

Yes, they will be in a higher division than us next season, but as it stands at this very moment, whether they are better than us, or merely have a better manager than us, able to motivate his players beyond their abilities is debateable, as we are currently in a higher position than them. Not for long though, granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should nick Barry Fry from Peterborough and make him our Chairman , no danger of him being thought too posh for football that's for sure .

SaintDonkey Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Are Peterborough a better team than us, or do they just have a better manager than Wotte? Discuss. Darren Ferguson has made himself by picking up bargain players from the lower leagues. It's incredible what an eye for talent he has, I mena you'd think it would take a vast and sophisticated scouting network to find such a high proportion of affordable gems. And yet Ferguson has managed to find these players with only the resources of Peterborough at his disposal... ... yeah right. If he hasn't had his dad passing on tips from the Man Ure scouts I'll eat my hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70's Mike Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I do not think many people who have managed SFC will have bad words to say about the club and its fans. now the people who employed them, well that is a different matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC Forever Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Now that would be a good deal. D Fergie as manager and Old man Fergie loaning us some of his squad for match practice. I can see it now. Foster in goal Johnny Evans in defence with unknown old uns like Giggsy as attacking midfield. Just for starters mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordswoodsaints Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I don't know why you lot get so upset about harry,he took the job when we were two thirds relegated and was expected to keep us up with £90k.....ok I can understand some of you being upset by the Pompey link but to crucify a bloke for taking on a virtually impossible job is madness. Whatever you all think of harry you have to admit that behind all the self promotion and bull**** he don't do a bad job whichever club he takes on as long as he is allowed to do his job,something that he wasn't allowed to do here.

gonzo Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 My view on Redknapp has softened over the last couple of years. He left the skates originally when Milan Moronic brought in Avram Grant over his head and against his wishes. Redknapp was content here until Lowe did exactly the same by bringing in Clive Woodward.

Sorry but I don't agree with that at all Gonzo. He was never content here, he was never comfortable, he was never interested. I was excited when we got him as I thought he would turn things around, but from the second he arrived it was apparent he wasn't interested. He is clearly a good manager but was never going to do well here when he couldn't be bothered. He's a complete ****. My view on him will not soften, he took us down and then ****ed up our best chance of getting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Harry is a d!ck don't get me wrong but would you really hang about ?? He obviously does not/did not get on with Lowe (who would) and he didn't give him any cash. A la WGS, Souness, every other of the managers that walked through our revolving door.

Fair play I say to him. Thanks Harry Redknapp, those comments can only do some good for Saints and certainly no harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His body language spoke volumes and he had no passion at all. At the time I thought you barsteward, you've only taken this job to give the blue few down the road the bird.

explorer saint Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 What gets me about Harry is when discussing his managerial record he defends his record with us by stating he didn't have enough time to save us. Now if I remember he did have over 20 games to save us and we were not bottom when he joined. Would of thought 20 should of been enough and where did we finish, bottom if I recall. My attitude towards him has improved but I doubt if he had been saying those nice things about us if he was still down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
