Yeah thats whats making me laugh with all this redknapp talk. This is a team who every one expected to be in the uefa cup or as some nutter predicted above arsenal this season.
Ok so you think Redknapp has an unfair advantage over Moyes? Lets look at who had an easier task shall we.
Moyes enters his 7th season as boss, it doesn't get much more settled than that. It's purely his squad, he knows all his own players inside out, they know all their team mates, they have a game plan and are a team of grafters with a great wok ethic. It works as they've finished 4th before. They also have some fantastic players. As for having to use your youth system, well isn't this down to Moyes and his overall skills as a manager??
We've even had to blood Man Utd's kids for them this season!
Redknapp walks into a total shambles of a team suffering it's worst run in it's 127 year history. It was just impossible how bad we were. Rock bottom having not only just lost two strikers worth 50 goals a season between them but it's best player and also it's captain. Ok we spent money but our £8m RB season long injury, £8m GK throwing the ball into his own net. £15m Bentley just a shambles. You're banging on about Defoe £15m but he got injured as soon as we bought him and only played couple of games. £15m Keane horribly out of form with confidence shattered thanks to Benitez.
Don't underestimate how important a pre season is or how hard it is to lift a team with no morale (Spurs had hardly won a game since winning the Carling Cup!)
Yet you think it's "laughable" to suggest Redknapp and Moyes is a certainty? Hmmm
They you actually have no idea the difference in level and spending between the top 4 clubs and the rest. The gulf is huge to maintain a squad and get results.
All that would happen with spurs if they qualified next year for the CL is the same as everton when they did. They got knocked out early and the extra games became a toll on a small squad.
Make your mind up, one minute Spurs are expected to do well as we spend so much, then we don't have enough to compete and have a small squad.... which is it?
How do I have no idea? I think you're looking a little foolish here, Spurs have spent more money than Arsenal, I think that's well known isn't it? We also have a £400m 60k stadium on the way so....
