Why, not only is Redknapp not receiving flack but being defended by mainstream media hacks?
Far better managers than Redknapp have, are and will be under pressure and scrutinised for such a record. But yet again, Redknapp's chummy relationship with the media proves it's worth. |
First all I think you need to give Spurs leeway considering the entire season they had, it isn't great but it's hardly been awful either. So I actually think any excessive flak is unjustified.
However I totally agree that certain other managers, pretty much all of them, would be under a lot of pressure by now. It is because of his relationship with the media and it's absurd that while Wenger gets immense pressure from the media for achieving 3rd with the same kind of resources, 'Arry gets none.

This is getting more and more absurd. The SPL needs to do something, it's becoming really damaging to the image of Scottish football, something which was already not especially great.
