Fuck you Case, you totalitarian dictator! :bae:
That is one thing that gets annoying about some forums - topic police. Mods closing threads because they decide no more discussion on a given subject is allowed, e.g. Modric in the summer.
If people don't want to discuss it, the thread will tumbleweed. Isn't it enough to let the board decide whether the topic has become stale?

Good post. Redknapp has yo-yo'ed in my eyes over the past couple of years. It's hard to dislike the man at the moment, though, with the current level of performance. I would favor a bit more squad rotation on many occasions, though. We've got a talented team with a lot of depth, but I think Redknapp tends to stick way too closely with his starting 11 and can be accused of playing those players whether or not they are truly fit. Don't get me wrong, Spurs need to shift some deadwood, getting rid of Pav, etc. But it's hard to imagine that players like Sandro, with boat loads of potential for the future, sticking around for long with the little playing time he's getting.
Don't get me wrong, Parker was an inspired signing. His performances have been immense, and the partnership between modric and him has been world-class, but there needs to be a balance. Would Kaboul have gotten a look if Dawson had been fit these past few months? Would Defoe get a look if VdV wasn't fit? Does Sandro not deserve squad rotation, rather than cleaning up the game as a 85th minute sub? Should Walker be playing every game, or should Corluka get a look in as well in Europa matches?
Happy with the results, but I agree with the criticisms of him calling certain supporters "idiots" and what-not.
I agree wholeheartedly about your interpretation over the modric saga, though. My one sticking point over that would be that I thought his comments over Modric's "head not being right" was a bit patronizing. I think you've got the right of it, but if I were a player I think my head coach saying that my head wasn't right would fucking infuriate me. My eyebrows were raised over comments like that, and I think some justifiable questions could be raised over Redknapp's man-management in that respect. I agree with the Gio saga, but then again it's hard to sell off a player if he never gets in any playing time in a decent league.
Redknapp needs to be more flexible.
