Redknapp close to being sacked say The Times & SSN

[ollyhoops]

Whoever the new manager is will need to be carefully chosen with the next 3 years in mind, he will have a lot of rebuilding to do next season as 15 players are out of contract and he will need to start again fresh.

Funny how no one is ever good enough in the eyes of fans. Virtually without exception people on here were saying "good god no" to the prospect of Carlton Cole. You know, the striker who scored again at the weekend for a mid-table Premier League side. We aren't going to get Jose Mourinho. I don't have an opinion either way about Laudrup really but at least he is a modern, forward looking manager whose team talks are unlikely to resemble a John Smith's advert and who might actually sign some good up and coming players rather than old cronies who are basically being signed on a very generous form of incapacity benefit to sit on the treatment table.

Well said!

kenny jacket or
martin jol anyone

[ollyhoops]

Do you remember when we hired and sacked 3 managers in one season? The QPR calander had a new manager every month.

in green/simpson/phillips/austin/faurlin/ned...........the nucleus of a decent eleven is there for next season....get rid of the driftwood n aging legs ala hill/aj and add some young new starlets n no more than two season loans n who knows!

Dont want laudrap either, but really not bothered if h gets the sack today. Would love warnock back , he would get us up and give him a minimum one season in the prem.

Monumental change for you Kev eh!!!!!!

Laudrup got the swans too far too fast, then couldn't get the backing he wanted for more players (tho he got some) due to being in the europa league. He saw what was coming. As I've said before, this competition can be the kiss of death for lower placed prem teams who haven't got enough class players to fight on two fronts. I think he fell out with Jenkins over this.

'Following Swansea's 1–0 win over Newcastle United on 2 March 2013[38] and the club moving into 8th position in the top-half of the Premier League table and seemingly safe from relegation with 40 points and 10 games left, Laudrup told that he wanted Swansea to finish eighth. Saying that it would be "incredible" and that "coming eighth [will be] like winning the league" for the club. Because he felt "the first seven spots" were already taken by Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton.[39] On 3 March 2013, though Laudrup had said that his "intention" was "to stay" in south Wales for the next year, Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins said that the club were in the "process of looking for the next manager" of the club in case Laudrup did choose to leave the club'.[40]

Madness, most smaller clubs think of themselves as a lot bigger than they are.. We've seen it before "a few" times.

Should we pay Harry off?

[1973 ranger]

Yes we shoud as keeping him will cost us the chance of promotion. Every manager around us have worked him out so if we do make the play offs them teams have our number and opinion is based on the results against them.

[West London is Rss]

The greedy bast*d shouldn't want a pay-off.. aint he got enough already?!

[brightonr]

Should we pay Harry off?

I think he should do the decent thing and resign. He won't though, as reading that talksport article, he seems to think that most of us would have been happy making the play offs. This just demonstrates how stupid he is. Why on earth would the overwhelming, odds on favourites to win the league with a massive playing budget in Championship terms, be happy with a play off spot?

He's an overrated and clueless manager. The sort of bloke who would have been happy to finish 14th if he were managing Burnley with their squad.

Just go Harry. Save your moaning, whingeing and bleating for those who haven't heard it often enough over 30 years.

[Hitman34]

its very hard for me to say this but i will swallow my pride for this one comment.

even warnkock won promotion with the likes of hulse,makie,derry and other limited players.

redcrapp has spunked 12mil and we are scraping a few wins here and there but cant seem to get more than four shots on goal in any game.

he needs to fark off weather tony pays him off or not.

[ollyhoops]

Are you hoping Leeds do us a favour Saturday?

[Hitman34]
