    Harry Attacks Spurs Fans Again. Big Mistake.

    Well there we go then, good old Steptoe senior never would have
    phoned into Talksport so anyone who does is a brainless idiot. Not that
    I’m defending those that do phone into Talksport mind you but Harry has a
    hell of a cheek criticising Spurs fans for daring to criticise his
    recent record when he spends more time on the radio and TV talking about
    himself and what he’s achieved (did you know Spurs only had two points
    from eight games when he took over? I’m amazed he hasn’t mentioned it
    more often).
    I’m sure I speak for all Spurs fans when I say we enjoyed this season
    in the Champion’s League immensely. Fantastic games against A Milan,
    Inter Milan and Real Madrid are what a club like Tottenham Hotspur
    deserve every year and therein lies the problem. Harry’s deficiencies in
    bolstering the squad this season have cost us 4th place and another
    crack at the Champion’s League next year.
    He’s admitted today that he was ready to move for Luis Suarez, a
    proven international striker, in January only, apparently, the scouts
    gave him a bad writeup so H binned the move. More deflection, it’s the
    scouts fault, not Harry’s and this is becoming one of my biggest
    problems with the man.
    Everything is someone else’s fault, he’s responsible (in his own
    mind) for any glory that has come (and let’s be honest, one top four
    finish and a QF of the Champion’s League doesn’t exactly fill up the
    trophy room at White Hart Lane) and God forbid any of the loyal Spurs
    fans question the league form this season. Only brainless idiots would
    do that apparently.
    Let me make this clear Harry: any good you have done for our club,
    yes, OUR club, our blood, sweat, tears and hard cash over decades, will
    be completely nullified if you continue your petulant attacks on our
    fans any time they question your performance. One win from thirteen
    games is relegation form, not Champion’s League and Manchester City’s
    money had nothing to do with the spineless and inept performances
    against Wolves, West Brom, West Ham and Blackpool, amongst others, all
    season.
    You did not buy a striker when we were desperately crying out for
    one. That is not good enough and if you don’t like the heat, maybe it’s
    time see if your mates at the FA will push Fabio early and give you the
    job you’ve been openly touting for during your whole stay at our club.
    The honeymoon is over. We’re Spurs for life, you’re just visiting, don’t

    Cracking find Baz, i do question if that is what Harry has actually said about Spurs fans or if it is something the Meeja has fabricated. BUT If it were true i would have to question my loyalty towards Harry, am 100% behind Redknapp but if starts to attack OUR club and OUR fans this is unacceptable and something would have to be done!!!

    If this is legitimate then show him the door now. He has every right to defend himself but when he shows more diplomacy towards corrupt officials than he does our fans, and labels brainless those who pay out their hard earned to watch the team they love then, as far as I'm concerned, he no longer has the right to boss this team.

    Continuity goes out the window right after any respect that was ever held for him.

    I stress again, if this is legitimate.

    Thanx 'arry appreciate that me ole spanner. The bit about Suarez is totally gauling. I had supported 'arry thinking we had been out-bid by the Scousers and yet we could have had him. Wnonder if this will bite 'arry on the a*se tomorrow ? Suarez for a hat-trick anyone ? But it's not 'arrys fault it's the scouts. Surely 'arry if you were intrested you shold have had a look your-self . . . . .

    Harry Redknapp has revealed that he considered signing Luis Suarez in January but opted against making a bid after being told by scouts that the Uruguayan was not up to the grade.

    Great find Baz, this a quote from harry

    Redknapp believes that he and Tottenham are victims of the curse of increased expectations, after their impressive Champions League campaign this year.

    "Maybe expectations have been raised, but they don't have any brains, they don't understand," he continued.


    "If they think we should have Champions League football every year, then what's been happening during all those years we didn't qualify?

    "I didn't see us reaching the Champions League previously.


    "It's not as if it's something that happens every year but hasn't happened this time, so it's a disaster."

    harry seems to have opinions on everything and is everywhere. he loves himself.

    i new we could of got suarz but we didnt. all harry seems to do is turn our fans off him

    So Harry has come out calling any of our fans who dare to criticise him “brainless idiots”. Luckily Harry doesn’t listen to radio phone ins, which seems strange given that he must be one of the most regular callers into Talksport.

    what he actually is quoted as saying was about the ones who ring up phone ins when they havent even seen the match, "but heard it on the radio" then go on to say we were rubbish today. yeah they can have an opinion but come on its not the same as watching it live on tv or at the ground is it, so why should he worry about what they say or take any notice?we have had a dissapointing end to this season but i wont jump all over redknapp for that. best weve had for years, i dont want another change on the basis of the end of one season.

    Never the less the fans still have the right to view there thought whether they watched it or listened to it on the radio , and the good thing about the radio is the commentator will always say if a team is playing well or not , so its not like a wild stab in the dark to pick up the phone , i know you say its the best we've had for years but that was last season , and yes it was the best we've had for years, but this season it's been the worse we've had for years , 1 win in 13 is terrible, even worse than Ramos

    Fair comment Shear, but why say anything? EVERY club has 'fans' who go onto these phone ins and spout nonsense. So what?

    What bothers me is that he is the soul of courtesy to every official or opposition player that turns us over, but he can't keep from having a pop at the fans who contributr to paying his wage?

    He don't have to be nice to them, he just has to ignore them. By doing what he's done he's put himself deeper in the mire as more than just the malcontents will be questioning his tenure now.

    It's the 99.9percent of fans that apparently agree with him that gets me. How the f*ck does he know? The other thing is, we have a waiting list of 35000. Those fans have no option but to watch on television or listen on the Radio. They are entitled to comment Arry it's what fans do.

    Baz ! i heard that radio interview and it wasnt at all like this quote you found...wherever, i have my gripes against harry but he doesnt deserve that sort of criticism and twisting of his words.

    What he said was the truth, quoting that city have the dosh and we dont, we cant pay the wages that they do, man utd and chelsea, arsenal are perrenials in the comp.......thats what he said, and words to the effect that we have only been in the comp once and yet here we are expecting to be there again, without the money city have.

    Makes sense to me, but he has made mistakes, he should have dealt with the gomes problem, centre backs and a striker was important, tactically he is also a bit way off the mark.......

    Talk sport loud mouth but die hard Spurs fan Danny Kelly has apparently checked the stats. Officially Spurs are in their worst run of form for near twenty years and 92 was the last time we failed to win more than one game in thirteen. How is Harry not being asked serious questions about his management. Whatever you think of him this has never happened to Wenger Fergie even O'neil

    Iv'e been keeping an eye on this site without commenting cos basically i wanted to enjoy the season without talking to the doom merchents but Lought your in your stride now mate. Go for it son, the truth is out, If you slag off some one for long enough, eventually they will hit a tough patch and you can claim you knew all along.

    Harry has given me the best couple of years football ive seen at spurs in decades & I say Thanks Harry can we have some more please. And if you can find a way of kicking the spineless fans into touch along the way more's the better.

    You don't own the club Lought, you either support it or you dont, & you dont.

    Harry's bang on putting the winging fans in there place. Half of them that ring up are p*ssed and the other half are so delueded they think their rant will make a difference when any true fan can see it's just another media system winding up the public so it can fleece it.

    The team chucked away the league against the bottom four this season for no other reason than under estimating them and 9 times out of 10 thats the players not the manager.

    6th or 7th place is a crap season is it? well we must of moved on miles then.

    Fans all to happy to look for resons to slag a team off rather than support a team thats struggling.

    yea ok so im not a fan now. harry is not a great manager. and when he gets in trouble he moves on.

    its never harrys fault. its everyone else fault.

    go read jims comments hes said what me and lobo have been saying for ages.

    i hope harry gets locked up because i think hes dodgy.

    when man c didnt get 4th they didnt stand still and now they could end up 3rd and just won the cup final yet twitchy saying 6th is good lol.

    face it harrys a bottler not a winner.

    the players hes after scares me. roll on sunday when we lose again because harry has not got the bottle to drop vdv.

    that is called weak managment. even the players say they dont practice free kicks corners and theres no match plans for the smaller teams.......

    we are crap at free kicks and corners yet vdv keeps taking them.

    One comment that Harry is supposed to have made was, Its been a fantastic season, one of the best Tottenham have had. We reached the last eight of the Champions League and were pushing for a top finish in the Premiership. This season has been tougher and if we finish fifth it will be a bigger achievement than sneaking into fourth position last season. Well it looks like Harry is quite content with what he has achieved so how dare anyone question his failure to build on what we achieved last season. I can not see that finishing lower in the league than we did the previous season can be classed as being successful, no doubt he will be ecstatic next season if we finish 10th. Also, when he states that it is one of the best season's Tottenham have had, well Harry, take a look at the history of this club and you will find that you are not the greatest manager we have had, but for the supporter's sake and the club I do hope you do become a manager that will live on in the memories of the fans, just get rid of that attitude problem.
