Re: Harry Redknapp one of the worst managers in PL?
There's probably a lot to be said for making the players feel good about themselves and the game. That was certainly Joe Mercer's outlook but he had Allison to sort out the tactics.
Harry doesn't believe in any sort of football "science" and that's shown up my the fact that early in the season, he's got 3 of 13 midfield players out already, one (Huddlestone) half-fit and three suffering injuries during the game. That says to me that something is fundamentally wrong.
The game has changed but 'Arry hasn't. He's an old-fashioned manager, a wheeler-dealer and a media "personality". He's also an expert in deflecting blame away from himself and his methods. That won't wash any more if you want to sit at the top table.
I hadn't realised that most of the better players in their squad were already there when he took over. Nearly all his signings have been duds, apart from VdV and possibly Sandro. Just goes to prove he'll do a job getting a club out of trouble but can't take them forward on a long-term basis.
