REDKNAPP - I`M GOING NOWHERE
Posted 02/10/09 16:01EmailPrintSave

Tottenham 10/11, Draw 12/5, Bolton 16/5
Harry Redknapp dismissed any notion that he was about to leave Tottenham after odds tumbled on him becoming the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season.

Bookmakers slashed odds on Redknapp leaving White Hart Lane from 50-1 to evens at one point despite him having led Tottenham to their best start for 50 years.

After taking a training session with the first team before leaving for Saturday's Barclays Premier League match against Bolton a bewildered Redknapp laughed off the rumours.

He said: "I'm definitely not leaving. It's absolute nonsense. Absolute rubbish.

"I couldn't be happier than I am here. There's not a chance of that happening. I love it here and I have no intention of leaving. It couldn't have gone better for me."

Internet sites were awash with speculation, some suggesting Redknapp could be on his way back to Portsmouth for a third time in a bid to rescue the club which has gone seven matches without recording a point this season and which this week was unable to pay some of its players.

The Portsmouth situation was compounded when new Arab owner Sulaiman Al Fahim, who has promised a £50million cash injection into the club, was taken to hospital with kidney stones.

Redknapp, whose Spurs side have won five of their first seven league matches this season, said: "I left Portsmouth more than a year ago. Hopefully, Portsmouth will get sorted out. I don't know where people dream these stories up from.

"I just hope the guy who is in hospital recovers and puts his money in and Portsmouth will be fine. It's been a difficult year for them.

"They've sold £80million worth of players and it's sad to see them in that situation.

"I just hope the guy sticks to his word and gives Peter Storrie (Portsmouth chief executive) the help he needs to sort the club out."

Redknapp, who left Fratton Park just over a year ago, sympathised with Portsmouth manager Paul Hart.

"It's difficult for Harty," said Redknapp. "I took him there. It's just sad. As somebody said they've (Portsmouth) found the only Arab who seems to be struggling for money. Everybody else has got millions of it. It's sad to see them in that situation."

Redknapp, however, defended his own record at Fratton Park which saw a host of big name players win the FA Cup at Wembley less than 18 months ago.

Redknapp said: "People say 'You bought players like (Lassana) Diarra.' Yeah, well they (Portsmouth) paid £5million for Diarra and paid him £50,000 a week.

"But he was there for less than a year and they sold him for £22million. Where is that money? Where is the money for Glen Johnson. Where does it all go? It's sad to see."

Redknapp admitted he realised there were problems at Portsmouth under former owner Sasha Gaydamak but he urged Hart to keep believing that the club's problems could be surmounted.

"You've got to keep going," said Redknapp. "I sensed with the previous owner things were not right. You need owners who are interested in the football club, who want to support the team.

"I don't know why people get involved in football clubs when they are not really that interested in the club. That is what has happened to Portsmouth in my opinion.

"When they got £5million compensation for me they were really happy to accept the money. In fact, I think they called a taxi for me."

William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe explained the odds tumbling, saying: "It is probably a bandwagon effect as usual, based on unsubstantiated gossip, but in volatile markets of this nature you can't afford to take a chance and we are being inundated with calls from punters wanting to bet that Harry will be the first to go."

As for the football, Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe trained on Friday and Redknapp will decide on Saturday whether to risk him against Bolton at the Reebok, where he would wear a protective dressing on his dislocated fingers

What a load of rubbish, same thing happened with Benitez a few months ago, lots of betting on him being the next manager sacked. There's also no way in hell Redknapp would leave Spurs, they've done well together and look to finish in the top 6 this season.

What I'm curious about, is the number of bets that would have been made to make betting companies think that it's on the cards. Are we talking hundreds of bets?

I'm guessing they were covering themselves due to uncertainty. You wouldn't want to have 50-1 odds where information could be out there saying he will be sacked.

I'd say it's usually a few large bets followed by a load of small bets.

Same thing happened when McClaren was supposed to be going to Newcastle from Middlesboro a few years back

Talking single figures if a bunch of accounts start to pile in before the inevitable avalanche starts

Rafa situation was different as Liverpool were performing badly, he was stalling on contract and had publicly attacked the new owners. that was the weekend were all he said in his interview was 'as always I am concentrating on the team and training' after the owners had told him to butt out. then they lost on the Saturday and by Sunday night all the 'red' forums were in meltdown saying he had gone (even got reported on talksport that he was supposed to have been fired) He came a lot closer to going than people think

There's also no way in hell Redknapp would leave Spurs, they've done well together and look to finish in the top 6 this season

This is the same Harry that walked out on Pompey
Went to their arch rivals Southampton
Walked out on Southampton and back into Pompey

Was offered the Newcastle job then turned it down at the last minute
Then walked out on Pompey again as he knew they were in dire straits and went to Spurs

So yeah, what a load of rubbish and there's also no way in hell Redknapp would leave Spurs. Most loyal guy in the world.

Alex Ferguson burns cats in his spare time.

I mean, I have no evidence for this, but if I allege he does it a lot, it backs up my point, right? No?
 
well, i don't like to think it, but, if your saying that and are willing to stick to it then I see no reason to not trust you Weebull.

What the hell is fergie doing burning cats the sick sick *******?

Here's a picture of Alex Ferguson burning a cat. I mean, clearly I've just done it in five minutes in Photoshop, but LOOK AT HIM. HE'S QUITE BLATANTLY BURNING A CAT.

The sooner you people realise the truth, the better.

I'm sure you'd be saying the same thing had he not turned your lot down and you were currently 4th in the Prem though eh?

Well I don't we'd be 4th in PL with Harry, no. He wouldn't have gotten all the money he's had at Spurs. :p Plus he'd be off after a year to go back to his spiritual home at Pompey.

As for being 4th, been there done that. Been up to 3rd and 2nd as well, it's even better. Not as good as top though, like now. ;)
 
It's October. Time for Spurs to get a new manager. 'Arry's doing a good job on the pitch so we've got to find another reason to sack him.

Either that or this is all Megson mind games!
