Wheeler Dealer

[Tic_Tac_Addict]

If anyone gets to within talking distance, or even shouting distance, of Harry Redknapp I'd fully expect you to call him a Wheeler Dealer.

Well, I will anyway.

[MrTea]

I didn't mean it like that

I just loved how they sounded like old lovers.

Is this to do with the interview where he told the guy to fackorf after Saturdays game?

Why?

Would you call him that if he had a pretty scarf too??

Yeah.

And the reason I called him a pr1ck, was because he's just had a go at someone asking a harmless question. Because he's a football manager doesn't give him the right to speak to someone like that. It was uncalled for.

He's obviously got a guilty conscience if a comment like that provoked such a reaction. Guilty as fvck...

This.

The guy didn't even say 'wheeler dealer' in an offensive way, he was just being playful.

Harry is guilty as sin, dirty prick.

you dont think it has anything to do with coming off the back of a loss to wigan, a build up of the lack of respect he gets from a large section of the media and the upcoming trial he has to face. the last thing he wants to be called is a wheeler dealer, doesnt look good on him at all.
he was letting off some steam, all managers do it, wenger kicks bottles, fergie kicks boots, 'arry tells reporters where to go. today he stopped his car and happily spoke to reporters. its not as if it was even live on air, hes more professional than that.

anyway, i dunno why i even bothered replying, hes doing a fantastic job at spurs and i wouldnt want anyone else in charge. so in the words of the man himself..... you can fark orf!!

Honestly?

[EarZ]

u dont remember the BBC propaganda documentary where all he said was "andy todd (i think?) is a player id be interested in"

im sure he doesnt want the delboy label hes branded with and his names always thrown about.

the only tabloid that doesnt slag himoff is the sun and thats only coz he writes for them.

[Bossanova]

He doesn't do himself any favours by constantly talking about players he is 'interested in'.

Any other manager in his shoes would just say "I don't discuss players that aren't on my squad", and that's that.

Not all this 'Fabiano is a great player' bollocks

[EarZ]

that entitles people to call him a "dirty prick" does it?

i like kelly brook. il tell anyone that listens. am i a dirty prick too? or a wheeler dealer? or a fraud? or anything else hes been labelled with?
everyone wants to hear their manager talk about possible transfer targets. theres nothing more frustrating than cagey press conferences. he gets misquoted all the time. someone says to him "what are your thoughts on fabiano" he replies "hes a great player but at 25 mill, its a no goer" wow big deal, hes being honest. if we made an enquiry for the player behind closed doors, the player would still know we were interested anyway.
look at the scott parker saga. we enquire privately, west ham mke it public and all of a sudden, harrys public enemy number 1. he done nothing wrong there.

[Bossanova]

You don't get paid millions a year to take abuse, so I don't throw it your way.

[EarZ]

oh, you played that card. we've all used it so i'll leave it at that.

[Supremacia]

It's a triffic, triffic moment of telly. Top class reporting, top top class.
