The Football.....

I wonder if any of them had a choice to come , Ferguson certainly must of been forced , we would be the last club on his list although with his date of birth he might become a cult figure if he plays well .

What's the DOB thing about?

Redknapp H resigns due to impending knee op'.

Now call me cycnical but if QPR were top of the League and in the CL etc - would he still be resigning?

Of course he wouldn't. He's probably one of the most overrated managers/coaches in the game. His dog Rosie is probably picking the team.

Was that the dog with its own bank account?

My first thought when I heard the news was, "Any excuse".

I can't see any top division club bothering with 'Arry again, his days are over.

Totally agree SJ he's been getting by on the false reputation of being a "Great" manager for years and as you say "any excuse"
I can't see him being a manager anywhere in the future, I dare say he will end up at a club as some sort of ambassador, an advisor or some other pathetic made up title or worse still, as a pundit on Sky with his dull, know all son.......................Please spare us that.

Redknapp has always baffled me as a manager. He's allowed to run up huge debts with no real reward and buys the same group of players because he thinks they're 'good lads', an opinion he'll have voiced hanging out the window of his car. I always thought of him as a sort of Del Boy character.

A mate of mine said that if he had been appointed England manager he'd have given up on football. I couldn't disagree with him.

He is 67 and minted so maybe another possibility is that he will realise he has had his day and drift into the background.

I thought his wee dug was the rich one and gave him pocket money?

If he does take a step back, I hope he uses the time to learn how to write.

He's not sure, gets confused easily apparently

Understandable in a man of his advanced years I suppose. He must have a lot on his mind with all those tactics he came up with, as well as remembering Peter Crouch and Jermaine Defoe's phone numbers.
