Tottenham's Harry Redknapp is named Premier League manager of the season

[Kinky Gerbil]

Fulham have been rubbish in the league so its right Harry got it.

And beach Hut, you are a fool.... Spurs made a profit last year and we are run by Jews

 

[Simon Morgan]

Thought all the yids on here wanted 'arry out not so long ago? Think McLeish deserves it myself. Where were Spurs when you took over? In a false position you bent, baggy-faced twat

The good news is that the "manager of the year" award is often a curse. Expect Spurs to fail miserably next season and Redknapp to be sacked.

I cant stand him, however he is doing a good job

How long before Spurs go into Administration ?

All this talk of Hodgson winning the manager of the year was ridiuclous from start to finish. Why would he win it? They've won once away all season (on the opening day against almighty Pompey) and they've been truly average in the league all season, with the 3-0 thrashing of Man Utd aside. He's not been the best manager in the league this season by a country mile. And neither has McGleish, for that matter. Joe Hart has been inspired, but he'll be gone next season. They don't score goals and they rely on two decent central defenders and a good goalkeeper to scrape through. They went on that long unbeaten run where they kept playing average teams, and it masked how average they actually are. But they've done well to finish where they will.

Surely the manager of the season is the guy who has won it in his first season here? He only signed Zhirkov (ok, for £18million!) and guided them to the title having scored 7 (seven) on 3 seperate occaisons. Maybe 4, if they have a laugh tomorrow.

Fulham would easily have been in the top 7 if it weren't for their run in the Europa league. For all the big boys complaining about the number of fixtures, Fulham have actually played the equivalent of HALF a Premier League season in Europe.

I guess it's where you set the bar though, they have been average this season in the league, but then Chelsea spent more on one player than they have in 3 seasons. It's not a level playing field is it?

Besides Chelsea may win it, but by normal league challengers standards they've been average.

Actually I tell you has been ignored - Mick McCarthy - how has he kept Wolves up?!

I disagree, much as though I like Fulham and Roy Hodgson, I don't think they would have been too much higher than they currently are without a European campaign, because they can't pick up points away. They couldn't last season, and they haven't this. I just don't think you can make a case for Hodgson being Premier League manager of the season, because their achievements haven't been in the league.

It's not a level playing field, it never was and never will be. Football isn't equal. I don't think they've been average, I just think it's been a far more competitive league this season than what we're all used to.

I'll agree with McCarthy, he deserves to be mentioned at the very least. He's done brilliantly to keep them up. But I think that, overall, the award has gone to the right man. He's taken his team into 4th in the league, could even make 3rd, and he's done it ahead of a team who spent massive amounts more, which doesn't really mean anything in this context, but it makes the achievement look a bit grander.

Should have been Hodgson IMO.

Could you elaborate?

No denying that Harry has done an amazing job at Spurs this year but even I think Roy Hodgson should have got for what he's achieved at Fulham.

Whats your beef with Harry, Kinky?

 

[Scotty Mac]

Yes he's spent money, but so did the managers before him.
Ramos spent a lot of cash and yet couldn't even get them out of the relegation zone.

ramos wasnt suited to english football though - he bought in the likes of gomes, pavlyuchenko, modric who redknapp knows how to use in a premier league environment

with the money redknapp has and the squad, i dare say most managers in the premier league would have been able to guide spurs into the top four

martin jol would have done it if it were not for a dodgy lasagne, so it is not a jesus-esque type miracle that they are there this year as some people seem to be making out

 

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

Harry Redknap is a twitching twat. Him winning manager of the year is a travesty. Mcleish or Hodgson ahead of him any day.

Agreed. They had a good squad last season but were mismanaged.

Spurs haven't exactly been thrifty either. Perhaps it should go to Wenger - he's hardly spent a penny and they challenged for the title for a good while. I think Redknapp has done a good job, but I don't think he's manager of the year. I disagree with your assessment of Fulham, the amount of games they've played has been ridiculous - with their resources I'm amazed they weren't in a relegation battle.

He is dodgy, He makes excuses all the time to cover up is mistakes.. just something about him
