Well, we weren't talking about other managers, were we? We were talking about Redknapp. But, as you mentioned it, I'll indulge.....

There is a big difference between younger managers and Redknapp. Younger managers are just starting out, and will do what they are told. If a younger manager even tried to have a say on who they will, or won't work with, they would soon be black marked as being a trouble causer. Redknapp is a seasoned pro, and has been relatively successful in his career. Which put's him in a much better situation than a younger manager, as he can make certain demands from directors, without it damaging his career. A young, inexperienced manager can not have that kind of freedom.

It's entirely possible that I've forgotten more about football than you will ever know about, so wind that neck back in.
