Bookmakers suspend betting on Harry for England job
7:20am Thursday 9th February 2012 in Sport
Bookmakers suspended betting on Harry Redknapp succeeding Fabio Capello as England manager after the Tottenham boss was acquitted of tax avoidance charges.
Redknapp is seen as the most likely choice of successor by the Football Association after Fabio Capello’s dramatic resignation yesterday.
FA chairman David Bernstein has previously said there was “a national desire” for the next England manager to be English and Redknapp’s success, especially with Spurs in recent years, makes him the outstanding domestic candidate.

After all the stress he's probably been through with his recent trial why would he want the pressure of managing England, it must feel like your on trial constantly being the England manager the amount of attention and stick you get from the press. And why would he want to leave Tottenham?!? The best thing the FA can do is offer Harry the opportunity to manage England through the Euros without leaving Spurs. If he does a good job and enjoys it then he can have or if he has a shocking tournament then he can go back to Tottenham.

This should NOT be "Honest Arry".

Perhaps Pearce will do well in the Euros then he becomes the favourite .. or Huddink, Mourinio, Pardew,
.
Almost anybody BUT NOT Redknapp.

Anyone who expects 10% of player transfer fees in and out of a club won't want a job with no transfers!

Allegedly HR also received a % of Jamies transfer to Liverpool from Bournemouth for £350k. ......... so these perks do go back some years at least since 1991

So he hasn't won much, he's got a childish arrogant attitude, rumours of finical/betting miss-doing has followed him for years and he jumps when the mess he created gets to much and starts making a new mess elsewhere.
Or do I not like him cause I still think of him as a skate?

To me that was the most shocking revolation about Harry during the trial, more so than tax evasion.
