i don't know exactly but i don't think nolan was on a fortune, nor was enrique. haha aye, we're still stuck with niall ranger though, he was arrested for assault last night, already trying to take bartons place

Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone on Twitter: "Can't believe who just sneaked into the training ground the back way! Wow."

transfer deadline day is not good for spurs fans' hearts... rasiak to VDV and everything in between

so long 'arry, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out

he's done a very good job at spurs, no doubt about that, but he's always been looking after number 1 (no, not the goalkeeper) every quote he comes out with you can rewind 3 months and find the exact opposite, he'll say whatever suits his agenda at that particular time

tbf that can be said for almost any football manager.

[PaoloTramezzani]

maybe so but most managers agendas are aligned with their club... it's players, it's fans, it's chairman

i don't know, maybe I'm holding everyone up to Martin Jol's example, granted he didn't always see eye to eye with mr levy but you felt like he had the club at the heart of his decisions, he felt like a tottenham man from the day he took over from santini

the moment the england job came up redknapp's approach changed, notable in his language always talking about tottenham like some foreign entity 'tottenham', 'them' and 'what they are going to do' lo and behold a couple of days before hodgson was confirmed it was back to 'us' and what 'we are going to do'

I'm just glad we've got Levy, though he's in for a tough summer, he'll be pilloried in the press if he ditches redknapp

[housecat87]

thats fair enough, i though most spurs supporters would side with redknapp in this contract issue considering some of the success he brought, although losing a 10 point lead is pretty dismal. can see how it would upset a few when he starts to believe his won hype too much. always been a fan of martin jol in the way he behaves and carries himself.

[housecat87]

and hes gone, still seems a bit harsh but spose its hard to say without being privy to the contract negotiations. still, what a fall from grace

[PaoloTramezzani]

all the twitter noise is coming from journalists and all the upset fans on skysports are from other teams

it's a shame that it's come to this and if we were after a new manager we should have sorted this out as soon as chelsea won the CL

i guess levy thought harry would accept his contract offer and they couldn't find a compromise

[Radio Ladio]

Would have thought Abramovic & FSG are pretty gutted. Both would have jumped on Redknapp is he was available at the time. Where he gonna go now I wonder? No high profile teams in England are looking for a manager are they?

Haha yeah, they'd only ever be interested in managers between jobs and redknapp would have been top of their lists if he didn't have that pesky year left on his contract!
