Laudrup will certainly help them attract players but his last few jobs haven't been massive successes. Perhaps, like Rodgers, he'll be better building on an already established playing style.

Redknapp rumoured to have secured £3 million in compensation from Levy.

However after tax that will only be £3 million.

Gazzeta Dello Sport claim tonight that AVB will sign a 3 year deal at Spurs.

Coral have suspended betting on new Spurs manager.

There are two versions doing the rounds. The other is that AVB has asked for a 3 year deal, rather than be offered it. A number of bookies have stopped taking bets just in case.

In Germany there are rumours that Ralf Rangnick (he who turned down WBA) is to to speak to Spurs tomorrow.

[frimmers3]

you forgot to add who much profit they make from selling these mediocre players on to clubs like manchester united.

...Harry Redknapp, but the fact is he has had tons of money and spunked it on various attacking players when he could have built a successful team.

Yeah, his initial signings of Palacios, Chimbonda and Cudicini were such attacking moves!

His other signings like Naughton, Walker, Bassong, Kaboul, Gallas, Friedel and Parker were only to add more goals to the side weren't they? Not to address some of the defensive frailties they'd shown at times.

His tactics have been completely missing, in fact it seems he just sends 11 players onto the pitch with no instructions.
This is typical spurs. They always seem to appoint managers who have no clue about teamwork or defensive structure, in fact lacking any tactical knowhow whatsoever seems to be the main criteria for becoming a spurs manager.
Harry Redknapp makes Kevin Keegan look like a tactical mastermind on a par with Otto Rehagel.

Really? Their blend of attacking football was fantastic at times, and that doesn't happen by accident, that's through good tactical setup, balance and the management to get the best of out the players available.

Defensively their record was actually pretty solid. Only a handful of sides conceeded less at home or away, and the fact they finished fourth meant he didn't do too much wrong on that front.

His attacking signings over the years like Defoe, Crouch, van der Vaart, Adebayor, even Saha and Keane, pretty much all contributed well to the building of the side and squad. He only really had a few blemishes on his transfer record at Spurs (Pienaar being one).

I'm no fan of Redknapp at all, but he is a very good manager who gets a lot out of a real mixture of players, and to top it off he always gets his sides playing attractive football.

Indeed. Ideal in "talking bollox" shocker.

Not a bad rant though.

Indeed, every now and again I feel the need to point out the extent of the bollox though.

[blindedbythelights]

Rumour abounds that AVB about to be confirmed at spurs

[leww_rfc]

Laurent Blanc to Spurs I've heard.
