Redknapp - should he stay or should he go?


Few would argue against Harry Redknapp being the best candidate for the England hotseat. After all he is patriotic, declared his desire for the job, and has proved time and time again his abilty to get the best out of his players. But is the England job the best path for him to take?

Many times in the past has a coach been championed by the English press to take over as national manager. And after 1 bad performance or surprise loss the same man is vilified and hung out to dry - a fate that not even Sir Alf Ramsey, the man who brought the World Cup home, could avoid.

The fickleness of English press has a negative impact on whoever takes the lead role, and in order to fill column inches no place is off limits. Every stone will be unturned and every skeleton will be found in his metaphorical closet. Is this a necessary stress for a man of nearly 70 years with nothing to prove professionally?

At Tottenham Hotspur, Redknapp has taken the club to a new level and many believe he is on the verge of taking them to greatness - with some even daring to whisper the word "champions".


Redknapp has the potential to become an eternal hero in the white and blue side of North London, achieving the same undying love reserved for only the great Bill Nicholson. Can the England job offer such attractive prospects? As always, only time will tell!
