ruins every club his been at financially .

Such bollocks. If you blame Redknapp for the Pompey mess, you must be pretty deluded as to how that club was being run. He helped them out by giving them 16M for Defoe, Kaboul and Crunchie.
Not many wanted Defoe or Kaboul back, and he was slated for it.
He didnt ruin West Ham, SCBC or us either. No idea where that nonsense comes from

The word Incredible springs to mind.
Good points: He is the last English manager to win a major English trophy.
He, initially gets results and does well at clubs but his way of managing is unsustainable. His double deals and his double talking catches up with him. Chairman and players loose respect.
Compare AVB and HR there is no comparison as people and as a manager.
Bad points :
Bournemouth - financial problems - relegated
West Haw - sacked (got caught talking to Newcastle)
Portsmouth - Financial problems - relegated
Southampton - Resigned - financial problems - relegated
Portsmouth (gave him lots of money) - resigned? BIG financial problems.
Spurs - Sacked
"He helped them out by giving them 16M for Defoe, Kaboul and Crunchie".... Exactly, helped them out?
Won the league with record points tally taking the club to the highest division in their history. Relegated three yrs later, and he was there for two more years. Nearly dies in a car crash, sees his friend killed in that crash, and eventually quits.Bad points :
Bournemouth - financial problems - relegated
Established a youth accademy that saw the likes of Ferdinand, Lampard, Carrick and Cole come through the ranks.West Haw - sacked (got caught talking to Newcastle)
Won the Championship and promoted to PL. Fell out with Mandaric and resigned.Portsmouth - Financial problems - relegated
Took over halfway through the season and couldnt keep them up. Was there for one year. Resigned.Southampton - Resigned - financial problems - relegated
Joined halway through season, and kept them up. Following year led them to highest finish in their history.Portsmouth (gave him lots of money) - resigned? BIG financial problems.
Not even going to bother. If thats your outlook on his time here, then there is no point.Spurs - Sacked
Mugged myself off here! :bale2:
Apologies. I think I realised late last night when laying in bed and obviously couldn't be fucked/wasn't bothered enough to come and edit it!

What about Burkinshaw? 2 FA Cups and a UEFA Cup. Terry Venables? 1 FA cup and 3rd place finish (albeit when English sides were still banned from European competition). Hell could even argue that Pleat first time round was a pretty decent manager and had us playing some exciting stuff, with Hoddle, Waddle and Allen.
I do feel Redknapp was a great manager for us and he did bring back some consistency in terms of top 4-5 finishes. In fact those two seasons after CL qualification we were well placed to easily finish top 3, yet his inability to rotate the squad saw us fall away badly. We also failed miserably in the trophy hunt, we were unlucky against Utd in the League Cup, shouldn't have capitulated to Chavs in the FA Cup semi. I don't believe under Redknapp we'd have ever been able to win the league or a cup competition, which he saw as being more of a hinderance.
