Redknapp saved us from a terrible manager and a bad league position. Us playing great football had nothing to do with him. We had Bale, Van der Vaart and Modric, how on Earth were they ever going to play shite football.
Wow.
Just.... Wow...

Gross was poor but AVB made supporting Spurs a chore and that is different from just being shit, I didn’t even enjoy it much when winning.
Has to be AVB; simply couldn't understand why he was appointed and he had a voice like a particularly creaky door that used to drive me nuts.
Gross Def worst I've seen.
Yeah ozzie was a crap a manger, and at times felt like his training was "defenders, go do stuff over there" but gross was just a shit shit shit version of wenger. And that whole tube ticket thing. Still makes me shudder..
Worse than santorini?
That's not even possible
Still think Andre deserved to end the 13/14 season
When you consider the situation we were in when he took over (two points from eight games) and then qualifying for the Champions League in his first full season, Redknapp's interest in the England job is, for me, an incredibly minor issue.
The FA should have given him the job but they went with Hodgson purely because they didn't have to pay compensation to West Brom.
There was also the court case. Any person in the world would have been unsettled by all of that. Managers are human beings too.
Yeah both fair, I think in general I've been quite lucky in my time on this earth that Spurs haven't had any standout shockers.
AVB was incredibly dull football, but it wasn't particularly bad performing points wise for the most part IIRC.
That said, fucking hell Poch is so much better.
I always felt sorry for him and his honesty and reputation did him a lot of harm. Stats fuck with your mind and as bad as Sherwood might have been, he certainly managed better than 1.1 points per game while the manager and never lost 14 out of 30 games - unlike someone whom most of us do adore, still would have Poch above everyone though !Tactics Tim was a bit embarrassing but I wouldn't say I "hated" the guy.
Aye took over a team with serious problems too. Soldado, Paulinho and Chirches all we're pretty poor.I always felt sorry for him and his honesty and reputation did him a lot of harm.

Dosen't make up for his mistakes but you have to take things into context.
Managing games from the executives box. What a weird thing to do.What was your issue with him?
I remember watching Tottenham training under Ardiles.
No wonder they struggled to adapt to Francis' fitness regime because they just went for a jog round the training pitch and practised a set-piece.
THAT WAS IT.
This was at the start of the 94/95 season after the opening game against Sheffield Wednesday and before the first home game against Everton.
They practised this incredibly convoluted and intricate set-piece that involved God knows how many passes and I thought to myself 'That is NEVER going to work.'
The major flaw in Ardiles' plan was that he forgot that there was an opposition who might, just might, try to defend the set-piece.
They then tried it during the Everton game and the manoeuvre broke down after the second pass...
