I am getting rather fed up with Harry Redknapp slagging off the QPR players. I have just finished reading the book "Harry's Games" by John Crace -- about Harry Redknapp -- and the quotes on Page 165 re Southampton players all seem rather familiar. "Would be a terrific achievement to stay up...toughest job I've taken on....have to beg, steal and borrow a few players because this group could not even get us out of the Championship...this club has accumulated a lot of players but we are short of quality". I wasn't overwhelmed when he came to QPR but his lack of success since then and his continued criticism of the players (nothing to do with me, guv) have made me even less enthusiastic about him. Wasn't it his job to motivate the players he had and sort out the problems? I've been a supporter since 1974 but cannot honestly say I am particularly looking forward to next season under his "leadership" -- more players in and out, just as he has done at West Ham, Southampton, Portsmouth, with no great attempt to think long-term and develop youth players and bring them through. |  | | |  |

Yep.
1st point - Cheese???
2nd point - that was my exact fear with Arry for the Rs job. He likes to buy his way out of trouble. He's not a tactician or a coach |  |

He's the guest on the podcast this week, and expands a bit on the subject matter there - an interesting listen
I'll let Clive (less than happy with the implications of some of the analysis!) post his usual link to it so as not to get lost in this thread | |

Some more thoughts on that book....
It highlights how Redknapp has operated the same way over the years. The more I read it, the more my heart sank at the thought of him still being there next season. If nothing else, it should be required reading for every member of the board to let them know what they've let themselves (and the club) in for. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Does the book say anything about HR team talks before games ? |  | | |

Very little, apart from one reference to telling a player to effectively "go out and run around a bit" (would have to plough through the book again to get the precise quote). | | | |
