It's laughable when all people compare between Mancini and Redknapp is their trophy haul won over their respective careers. Mancini has always been at big Italian clubs and couldn't of went to Inter at a better time with the weakening of his rivals in the scandal that engulfed Milan and Juve at the beginning of his tenure.
Harry has grown as a mananger, did a very good job at Portsmouth (the finances were more the boards fault I’d argue) and you have to take your hat off to what he's achieved at Spurs so far.
Players such as Bale and Modric have improved under him, they go out to beat teams and more often than not, this tends to work. VDV has also been a terrific signing.
I think we'll finish behind Spurs as they're just a better side than us that Harry has moulded over time. My hope is that Chelsea lose to United twice and we get something from the bridge which we are more than capable of.
I'm not having a go at Bobby here, I can see what he's trying to do, I just think that there's too many average players at the club and not all of this can be put at Hughes door. He certainly needs to be given time to right the wrongs so patience is the key. We don't have enough pace in the side to get behind full backs and our lethargic passing allows defences to re-group anytime it looks like a counter attack is on. Hopefully we can get these and other problems sorted in time, just the right players need to be brought in.
