He saved Pompey from relegation, but took the Scummers down. 2 out of 3? He's got a long, uphill battle to fight, but he's got most of the season left and some deep pockets in the transfer window.

Can't say I'm disappointed with the change. While I am not a Spurs fan, anyone interested in the league should hate to see what was going on there. While JS is right in his insight on Redknapp leaving Pompey, you do hate to see him move away. Yes, he did all he could with the money he had or maybe didn't have but he made Pompey a team that could surprise you on any given day and of course make the Cup run. The Gaffer is right that Harry will give them a kick at Spurs, but my feeling is that maybe the magic won't work this time!

We'll be fine. Don't worry about us. We worry enough about us for everyone!

More importantly than Ramos being sacked was that Comolli got the sack as well. You have to point the finger at him for not adequately strengthening the spine of the team. I still maintain that Spurs were wrong in firing Martin Jol but that's ancient history now I suppose.

The rumour mill will be working overtime now that Trader 'Arry is on the job. January chopping and changing will happen. I wonder if Tony Adams will join him as an assistant?

I do feel bad for Pompey as he's left them in the lurch again but that's the nature of sport these days.

No toss up how he'll be remembered--as the man who led them to their worst league start ever.

Poyet? Newcastle?
Ramos - does it matter.
Redknapp took Saints down - no guarantee he will get them playing. But I admit the change was good - Fat Sam/Adams/Phil Brown/Curbishley will all be touted for Pompey. Fat Sam I am sure has already called them.

More chopping and changing at Spurs. I have no sympathy for them, but their ineptitude has now impacted on another club. Poor, poor Pompey. Doesn't seem fair that they're the big losers out of Spurs colossal cock-up.

What are the odds on Ramos getting another gig sooner rather than later, and doing A-OK?

Any guesses where he or Gus Poyet might resurface? Poyet is held in high regard, but he hasn't exactly set any records for longevity (or leaving under friendly terms) in his last few gigs.

Agreed. Im not a huge Redknapp fan but any change is a good one at this point. Im very hopeful for a fresh start and think Harry can crack the whip and get those bumbling idiots figured out eventually.

Spurs finally made the move I was hoping they would to try to salvage something out of this season. Redknapp will definitely give these players the kick up the backside they need.

Cheers,
The Gaffer
