craig 5,199 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'd try and snaffle Harry Redknapp. He's out a job and could be talked into taking the job if he's allowed to leave when a league club want him as their manager. It's worth a bash! And that right there is all that is wrong with Scottish football. Redknapp is 65 yrs old. He has never "grown" a team, always bought one. But we want him to spearhead our revival ? Short termism at its worst. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Amokachi 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Redknapp is just as out of our league as Guardiola and Mourinho, even if we're in the SPL 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean apart from when he managed West Ham and he gave Ferdinand, Carrick, Cole, Defoe and Lampard their debuts for the club? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect very little. He may have given them their debuts but the problem with Scottish football is deep-rooted. We keep hearing about how we should get these acclaimed managers - but what we need is a long-term approach rather than a quick fix. That is my point. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of an assumption to make when you know nothing about it! Did SAF have anything to do with the progress of the Neville's, Butt, Scholes and Beckham? Your point re Redknapp has been blown out the water. Edited September 13, 2012 by Gazza_8 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 What's wrong with trying to get Walter or Eck back? I think they are available and both did a good job with limited talent before. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'd take Walter but I wouldn't touch Eck with a barge pole. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I listed Redknapp in my first post. He'd get the team attacking and probably would have won both games this week. If he got us to Brazil then it might inspire the younger generation to get back into playing football and put down the Wii for a while. Its the SFAs responsibility for structuring the development. The national team manager just has to go get us to win games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we've had nearly 20 years + of negative pish and it doesn't get us anywhere. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played them and that's what counts, who knows what involvement he had prior to that? Probably a pretty substantial involvement. Redknapp as the number 1 would be the most long term decision they ever made because he would get the team playing attacking, progressive football for the first time in 20-30 years. But as I said earlier, we have just as much chance getting Guardiola or Mourinho as we offer diddy money and have a squad full of them too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
