Tony Fernandes: ‘Harry Redknapp is staying’

[MYU]

Too early to say he has been a managerial failure. A couple of wins and he's been the most successful manager we have had in 20 years.

Even if he puts us in tenth place people won't like him, people will not change their views.

Please don't forget Warnock. That promotion season was pure magic.

I won't, that's why Redknapp needs those wins this season. It is possible.

I do think it is time for harry to go , but out benevolent benefactor whos richer and more business savvy than every single one of us (except facto and weare) wants to stick with him so i will back them both and the team every game and hope he is right to have such faith.

Very true. I think West Ham has the same situation. A lot of their fans only waiting the possibility to criticize Allardyce.

I'm not a coward ginge I'm a realist . Look at the fixtures , you yourself said you'd conceeded redknap isn't the man last week . It's my opinion that if he stays it's over . He's been here two years and we've been pretty much dreadful for all of it , what's suddenly going to change ?

Yea were going down. You can wish all you want but if Tony is ok getting beat in close games for the rest of the season at home and pointless on the road, then were SOL.

THIS!!!!..... said it a while ago!! Its all very well getting rid of HR but who's going to replace him???- que a list of unproven 'young' managers who know sweet fock all of football at a high level and the stresses/pressure that come with it (transfers, media, highly paid footballers, fans etc etc etc).

Yes Harry needs to go 'but' only if he can be replaced.

Brilliant post. Agree 100%.

isn't the "magic number of safety" 38 points? That's 6 wins in 18 games plus a draw. That's just for safety. too be the most successful manager, he will probably need to pull off 7 or 8 wins. I would love to see where we are getting those wins/points.

what will cheering on the boys achieve? it hasn't achieved anything in 10 away games so far, despite the vocal travelling fans?

Singing loudly for 90 minutes does not make the players faster, stronger in the tackle nor cut out the defensive errors that have blighted the season. Better players, coaching and tactics will improve the results and from what we have seen from Redknapp, Jordan, Bond and now Hoddle over the last 2 years I don't think we will see anything better.

Point taken but at the same time, what will slagging them off or staying quiet acheive? Absolutely nothing because Tony wont be sacking Harry, so really getting behind the team is all we can do.

Or everyone cant curnt off the team and manager for the rest of the season and demoralise the club and be able to say 'see i farking told you so' when we get relegated.
Sounds horrible to say this but i am certain a few on here and at the ground have gone so over the top with the slating of harold and tony and the players that they would be absolutely sick if we stayed up and looked like total mugs. Honestly believe that.

You actually think that people would rather we didn't stay up so they can tell some divs online that they were right all along ?

I find that ridiculous to be honest

Unless we lose the next 3/4 on the trot

Its what i think or i wouldnt of typed it. Its not beyond the realms of reality to believe that some on here like to moan about rangers more than they care what division they are in.

I would really hope it isn't true

Now I don't like Redknapp and also think Fernandes is incompetent but I still want us to win every game regardless as the club is bigger than any manager/Player and owner also no point going to games if you think like that

Whilst perhaps I don't agree with the actual decision I do think he has done the right thing making a firm decision either way !
