Redknapp bemoaned not getting a top club for years. Works wonders with us and then played poker with Levy, went all in on England and shit out. I certainly did enjoy the football though and my night in Milan was one of the very best moments. Ah what might've been.......
Considering there's threads for managers, yet if you have issue then you get attacked for raising said issues in there, this is the alternative thread.
This isn't to say that perhaps you didn't enjoy or appreciate certain aspects of certain managers, it's an overall "FFS" thread. I don't particularly think that we've had a manager for quite some time who has really done a job over the length of his term that reflects either the talent at his disposal, nor the opportunities available.
People go on about "we should have got Rodgers", but perhaps we get more frustrated that the scousers have two teams of managers who now fully utilise the potential in the players available to them.
For example:
Harry
Showed he could play fantastic football and get us near the top of the table, but also threw it all away with either stupid results or decisions each season. Finishing fourth twice was fantastic, but I keep wondering what future he could have built if he was fully committed to us - I look back to 2011/12 and think that's perhaps the best team we've had in nearly 3 decades; Bale, Modric, VDV, Ade, even with the ageing King and Parker throwing in good shifts. All this whilst Liverpool were down on their luck, City were still on the precipice, Woolwich still flapping and Chelsea were sans-Mourinho. Sigh...
AVB
Had Bale at his best, potentially the ability to sign some fantastic players if he put his foot down with Baldini/Levy, and still some great talent - but managed to completely undo the great footballing work laid down by Redknapp. Also, essentially traded in Van der Vaart for the fabled Silef Gujersson....
Sherwood
Had the ability to give us a "home grown" manager and restore the best parts of the Redknapp Dynasty, yet has somehow made us look like each individual player invents their own tactics, with our defensive players gaining more goal assists against us than the rest of the PL midfield put together. Gets the results, but also has manage to alienate the majority of the fanbase, despite the results, by acting like he's a pundit still.
I can only hope that we still have a chance at getting in a Rodgers/Martinez type manager capable of simultaneously not being a cunt, whilst getting the best out of our players.

Corners have been terrible this season, we get them, but we've done nothing with them.
I think it's down to having no one that can really head the ball - seen how Kane is the only one willing to take chances like that.
We could also have given Harry a super-facelift. He would have had a permanent smile, and difficulty communicating with the media.
Superb
