Interestingly when it became apparent the FA wanted Roy Hodgson as the next England manager and then his subsequant appointment, Spurs win back to back games. Good news for this season maybe that we can finish the campaign with a little more certainty. The bad news is that we will be stuck with Harry Redknapp for a while yet.
This summer we can expect more thirty plus signings and high wages swallowing up our transfer budget. That is not to say that his all of his signings have been poor, but they are uninspiring and for a man with a vast knowledge of English football, the wheeler-dealer is unable to unearth any young talent.
In the past we have gambled on young talent, there were plenty of misses on players such as Andy Reid and Wayne Routledge, but plenty of hits. If Redknapp had been in charge would we have ever signed the likes of Bale, Dawson, Huddlestone, Lennon etc. I think not. Redknapp has taken Spurs back to the days when we paid silly wages for players past their best with no real investment in the future.
It is time for Tottenham to return to buying young talent and promoting young talent through the ranks. Give the likes of Carroll, Smith, Parrett, Townsend etc the chance to show they have a place at this club. What is the point is keeping these players if they will not be developed into first team players.
Redknapp to me reprsents jobs for the boys, play your favourites and forget the rest.
