Harry !

3. Improve the squad. Harry's reluctance to rotate is because the "understudies" are inferior. We need effective back up for Bale, Lennon and the FBs. We need new strikers, a new CB and hope that Huddlestone gets fit to give some creative cover in CM.

----------------------

This would be my focus, and if im honest i dont trust Harry to have the ability to do this

nevr said i wanted him out....

justw ant him too shut his pie hole with the media...

and wise up a little tactically....



bale thru the middle/roaming worked once,not its all he does...maybe it worked then as it caught the other team out.....!!!

he's blind too what he does wrong....

Be very careful what you wish for chaps, wasn't Juande Ramos going to be our saviour?

Some of the recent selections have baffled us all but the fact remains that we've been a damn site better with Harry than we were for a very long time before he came to us.

I don't know why our form dropped so suddely and dramatically but I would think the whole court case and England media frenzy guff would not have been beneficial to any manager, particularly one that has also undergone heart surgery recently.

I say give the bloke a break and be grateful for small mercies, I don't recall many seasons when Spurs fans were collectively disappointed at being fourth with a game in hand over the team above them , a couple of weeks before the season ends.

never been a fan of his for all sorts of reasons (dodgy character-tax, transfer fees dodge, all previous clubs gone bankrupy; tactics are rubbish/non-existent; alienates players-thhese players are the club's assets and become less valuable as a result-eg DOS, Ade, Pav etc; no training-we have scored maybe 3 headed gols and 1 free kick, conceded lots of set piece golas; cant keep his mouth shut; Spurs is not his love-just looking for career advancemnet; crap transfer dealings Saha/nelsen/keane/cole+james that he tried to get/belamay etc etc

for all the above; get rid i say and as fast as possilble. this man does not have our interest at heart

For a manager with so may flaws, he's done pretty well to take us to 4th, 5th, a couple FA Cup Semis, CL QFs beating Inter & AC Milan, and on the brink of 4th place once again!

I suggest you take off your plastic wrapping and get real!

I am happy for him to stay but the following needs to happen:

1. HR needs to stop with the "Spurs fans have never had it so good" attitude. It's insulting and points to a lack of ambition.

2. HR needs to pipe down in the press. "Spurs not selling stars" one day, "Modric may go" the next. Sure, be honest but engage brain at the same time. If asked about Modric, easy answer, "he's s Spurs player on a long contract, he's a key player, discussions are ongoing and we'll see what happens" WHY say more than that?

3. Improve the squad. Harry's reluctance to rotate is because the "understudies" are inferior. We need effective back up for Bale, Lennon and the FBs. We need new strikers, a new CB and hope that Huddlestone gets fit to give some creative cover in CM.

People have criticised Harry's tactics but when Lennon has been out the options have been very limited, usually involving either VDV going (but not staying) wide, of Bale getting a roaming role with 3 in CM. Hudd injured has meant Modric is the only creative force in CM. Bale played every minute of every league game except 2, which were as a result of injury. Even Rooney has not started 4 games and been subbed in 5 or 6 and on as a sub in a couple.

A bigger & better squad = more tactical options = more effective rotation without weakening the team.
-------------------------

Accidentally cut it out of what you posted, but is it really a surprise to you Devonshire that the 'we want you to stay' songs have quietened down since:

a) we hit relegation form

b) Harry continued to seem to undermine Spurs through all his 'out the car window' interviews

???

As to what I have quoted:

1) Even Harry wouldn't dare to bring that one out again I shouldn't think.

2) He'll never change, sadly. He might pipe down a bit (see point 1) but it's very much a part of who he is as a manager.

3) Harry has never rotated at any club he's been at - it's a huge part of his approach, and is nothing to do with the quality of the back-ups, so splashing out on better squad players makes no financial sense at all, and it's pretty apparent Levy already shows this concern. Bassong played pretty well (borderline brilliantly, for me) the first half a season he was with us. The first choices came back, he never got a minute on the pitch (even as a late sub), no confidence was shown in him, and as a result his confidence was broken. Never looked the same player since. Just one example. A second - this season Defoe comes in, scores almost everytime, and then gets dropped. He's a pure striker, did everything he could do, and still falls out of favour.

It's borderline delusional (sorry!) to think that Harry will rotate if he has better options on the bench. Will never happen.

'Arry has not done much better than Jol did. OK, he got us to 4th, not fifth, but that's only important because of the artificial value of CL footy. If the Prem only had three places in the CL, no one would be impressed by 4th place. And BMJ had a considerably weaker squad of players.
