In his defence, he was on Sky one night and they were discussing someone booting Muscat, Harry basically said he had it coming. Not much I know, but a more incisive comment than his state-the-bloody-obvious son has managed in numerous afternoons of bullshitting.
"We are looking at a different level now, we're not looking at top players. We're looking for players that can get you out of the Championship next year."
So you want to sell the team that you and Hughes paid over the odds for, buy a new team to get out of the Championship next year and then no doubt get rid of them and bring in a new crop of overpaid twats. No problem 'Arry! Here's the chequebook.
To be fair to 'Arry, under him Spurs finished 4th, this year under AVB they finished 5th......
Redknapp had Van Der Vaart and Modric in his side last year - very important players. AVB also lost Kaboul and Sandro to injury this season - two more important players. Spurs got 69 points under Redknapp. They got 72 under AVB.
But then AVB spent plenty of money on replacements. Lloris, Vertonghen, Dembele, Dempsey, Holtby, Sigurdsson. And had Bale in dominant form
All true, but the point I was trying to make was that comparing Harry's exploits last year to AVB's this year is not quite as straightforward as 4th place vs 5th place. Apart from anything else, the Spurs fans are right behind AVB. They must like what they see.
Three cheers for all of the above remarks disparaging 'Orrible 'Arry. I've never understood his appeal, and never had any respect for a man who runs his teams like glorified pub sides (punch-ups on the training ground at West Ham) and stands up in court and admits he's so illiterate he can't even write out a team-sheet. And to think loads of people wanted him for the England job! He's a wrong 'un, and no mistake.

In other words their achievements are largely comparable. I wasn't aware the Spurs fans were particularly anti 'Arry last season either.
