Is Harry a proven great manager?

[QPR71]

I can pull out threads where I was critical of Hughes, where I wasn't saying he was a terrible manager, where I was saying he is just not a good manager at all, that his record at Fulham was poor, and people were getting mad at me. These same people now say MH was a joke.

That's how superficial some of the fans are. If we do manage to go down, the top players leave, and then struggle next season in the Championship, some of these Harry lovers will start saying "wait, maybe Harry wasn't ever a great manager at all, maybe he was a good manager when he had lots of money to spend, but great? Nah". Yet when I say this, I am a "negative" bloke!

your logic is so weird...if you were an F1 team leader, you'd pull a car that could get points to save it for later. you'd run the car with worn tyres to save them for next year. then when you had
a car that couldnt perform, youd tell the driver to go all out attack.

Go on now, go, walk out the door,
just turn around now'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one, who tried to hurt us with goodbye?
Did you think we'd crumble? Did you think we'd lay down and die?

This is a set up
I dont think Redknapp is proven as a "Great manager" but I think he is a pretty damn good manager

but if I click on no then it looks like i think he is **** which he clearly isnt

its ****** so i wont vote

why the need for all this stuff anyway, Redknapp is our manager so we should get behind him and the players as we are not going to get any better of either at least until the end of the season, save all the introspection and had wringing until we are either saved or relegated

looking at the question it feels like a trick. yet if a trusted fan asked the same question it would be ok....its the poster of the question i suspect as ive seend only digs at
QPR hidden behind a veil of "im only citicising out of concern" and "its just my personality to question everything"...if either was true, plenty of positive comments would
exist too...put it another way..i feel no love for QPR coming from this guy

I am not sure whether he is a great manager, he is a great motivator and of putting together a great team. I cant wait to read the book about him and his team that backs him up if it ever comes out. Hopefully the role that Big Joe Jordan has played is reveled. A quiet man and one day I hope he gets the recognition.

Redknapp is overrated imo.

I wanted hodgson as england manager and I think the press over do it with regards to jumping on the harry bandwagon.

my spurs mates thought he was the man...not saying they're not happy with avb mind...but they know who took them there

In response to the original OP; I don't think Arry is a "great manager" in the same league as people like Fergie (obviously) and Moyes (whom I think is a brilliant manager and lined up to replace Fergie) - but he is certainly a very very good manager.

Finacial discussions aside (whole new can of worms n all that), but the way he took Pompey from near on relegation certs to a 9th place finish the next season plus European football was some achievement, whether you like him or not.

Then at Spurs he took them over bottom of the league (granted they were underachieving massively and really wouldn't have stayed there for long IMO), and took them to finish 8th in the league before gettigna 4th place finish the next year - not too shabby.

Another poor post from you Marshy, the poll results back that up too

IMO Harry's greatest quality is getting the best out of the players he's managing. He inherited a squad from MH with some very good players, as well as some demotivated average ones. He's got a lot more out of them than MH.
He made Spurs a consistent top 4/5 team, which they weren't before.
His track record is decent overall, we can always pick holes in anyone's results. People go on about Pep Guardiola. I'd like to manage Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, David Villa, Pedro, Dani Alves, etc ,etc ,etc.
If Harry keeps us up, then yes he's a great manager, if he doesn't he still good IMO

Best manager we have had for many a year. Biggest profile and best motivator too.

[Bluehoop]

He is a great man manager. He's certainly also a very good manager but if he's truly great remains to be seen onver the next 3 months.
