ive hated this crook since day dot of him taking over Hughsless , bar that Chelsea game we were pathetic in that season, yes we started badly but we gave up when he took over, look at the job pullis did at palace a year later with a squad worse than ours and with a start worse than ours , and saggy face had samba and remy in January , all capped off with him racing down the tunnel after reading and all the players laughing he then had a budget of 80 million to play some of the worst football ever known to man in one of the worst championship seasons ever , we got lucky when that cnt was thinking about what golf clubs to join ( he should have been sacked there and then after saying it in the interview ) it was more to do with clint hill that we went up (and a huge slice of luck for once ) we then went 3-5-2 and sold our right back, abandoned that and went 4-4-2 and treated every away game as a "bonus game" man utd &Everton away were the most pathetic of displays in premier league history, he signed dross like sandro who had no kness and a shot rio Ferdinand and niko bloody kranjker , you had the farce of zarate on 65k a week and the only answer he had was to ask the board for adeybour im gutted as I would have loved for him to come back here with that dopey expression coping stick left right and centre and then to try and blag it later and say " I don't know why ", "I got them up " shtick he does , hopefully he gets the villa job in a couple of weeks so we can boo him and terry
A shame in some ways, because he'll be on Goals on Sunday in six weeks' time being able to give it the "we signed 14 new players and they only gave me three games to bed them in" bullsht. Just as with us, "if I'd been able to bring one or two in in January we'd have stayed up". He's left in time for it not to be his fault, for it to appear quite harsh, with enough meat on the bone for Martin Samuel to crawl out of the lower festering reaches of his saggy, withered colon and tell the world how harshly done to 'Arry was and how he definitely would have turned it around. Samuel, remember, who backed up 'Arry's claim that his knees were so bad he couldn't even watch his grand kids play football, that they had to get him a taxi to go 150 yards from a book signing to a restaurant, but subsequently (after no surgery at all) took over as the manager of fcking Jordan.
But the Burton game a couple of weeks back told you everything you needed to know. 1-0 up at half time, completely outdone by Clough in the second half - Clough spotted the weaknesses, changed and coached his team accordingly, turned it round and won 2-1 with a team shorn of its best players through injury and assembled on a tiny, tiny fraction of Birmingham's budget. Afterwards it was all Redknapp on TV moaning that he hadn't been allowed to sign more players (got angry when the Sky guy pointed out they'd signed more than anybody else in the Championship) and then went on a long rant about how whatever these "young, modern managers tell you, you can't take a team out on the training pitch and put on a couple of training sessions and lift them from here to here, it doesn't happen". Even though they'd just lost to Burton Albion, who've gone from non-league to Championship doing exactly that.
Redknapp was a good manager once but he's been a spent chancer for years now, taking advantage of foreign owners. If you could still get results through screaming at the footballers and throwing crockery around Peter Reid would still be in the Premier League, and likewise the preparation, training, tactics, analysis etc now is so, so, so advanced and vital that you can't just be that guy that shows up a couple of days a week, signs loads of players from favoured agents, pick the team, do a bit of a speech and send them out there.
If he wasn't so rich, if he wasn't such an absolute insufferable cnt, if he wasn't so clearly and obviously bent, if he hadn't fcked our club over for the next ten years, and if the press didn't continue to aggressively rim him because he occasionally picks the phone up to them and tells them Robbie Keane's going to Celtic then it would be sad.
But he is, and he is, and he is, and he did, and they do, so fck him. Fck him right in his baggy face.
It's never his fault and every journalist and sports TV presenter falls for it. Even Gary Richardson did so on his excellent Sportsweek hour last Sunday. On came Harry about the four hamstring injuries, not getting who he wanted and Gary was falling for it left, right and centre. Not a mention of the capitulation against a Preston side who hadn't scored away from home all season. Oh, but he said he kept Birmingham up last season. Yes, only because Huddersfield were fielding mascots and programme sellers for the last few games in preperation for the Play-Off Final.
It’s almost mourning for the loss of bagpuss. Instead they should be mourning for the money he’s now cost them, the position in the league and possibly cheering that he’s now gone!
His defence of Harold had me laughing & then he went on to detail the problems with that man!
He (DavoBirmingham) does point out some glaring inconsistencies in the owners' behaviour.
A lot of the Birmingham fans were so traumatised by the Zola experience, that Harry was welcomed with open arms with few questions asked (although questions had begun to be asked about the results this season).
I watched BT sport last night (Spurs) and he was on there commenting about Kane being a "top top" striker and all his normal blah phrases.
Then Birmingham go and win tonight.... Superb... but the bloke is a fake, how does he get these jobs when he is total rubbish.
Yep, he is a Bombay Shytehawk mate, of the highest order. Although it's galling when you hear him saying he would've taken Birmingham up and bizarrely a lot of Brummies are sad to see him go, I am hoping all these plaudits from his media chums and some moronic fans, will entice some idiot chairman to employ him. And then we can sit back and enjoy the schadenfreude.
Well personally I'm stunned Birmingham won. I thought there was a "losing mentality" that couldn't be explained there? That no manager has been able to crack?
