The amount of anti-redknapp hysteria on here in recent weeks is laughable.
Redknapp took over a complete mess from Hughes. Attitudes were poor etc and the team was not playing as one. Despite efforts to turn it around, the challenge turned out to be too much for Harry.
Last season, we got promoted at the first attempt. Not many teams achieve that and Redknapp deserves a lot more respect than he has been given. The job would have been arguably completed a lot sooner if we did not lose Austin for a prolonged period.
This season has been difficult, but what did we expect. We are in a lot of debt, we are trying to run the club sensibly and we are a small club. We were always going to be in the bottom third of the league this season and that is where we are. The season is not over and we are a point adrift of safety. Yes, some of the purchases have not worked out, but it is difficult to transform a team from Championship standard to Preimership and Leicester and Burnley have struggled also
Some of our fans are very unrealistic and may I suggest, spoilt. We have no right to remain in this league but when I look at clubs like Palace, their fans don't give up when times get hard. They get behind their team.
In short, cut the "redknapp out" rubbish. We will survive if the fans get behind the players for the rest of the season. There will be a fine line between who stays up and who goes down. The quality of fans support could well be the deciding factor.
