He's a victim of expectations.
To be fair thought that's bit like having two kids, where one is expected to attend Oxbridge while the other you're just happy if they can brush their teeth on their own.

Hmmm, if Redknapp had kept his gob shut about the England thing, in fact if he'd just kept his gob shut, we might not be such a rubbish situation.

Southampton - Mauricio Pochettino (Jan 2013) - safe
Stoke City - Mark Hughes (May 2013) - could yet go

My preference is Michael Laudrup but that is because we missed the boat on Martinez who they should have got originally.

Either way it's time Dawson was moved on and Paulinho needs a kick up the arse. He is meant to be a "Box to Box" midfielder. Also Akkotto never should have been sent out to QPR, we have played most of the season with out a left back.

I'd say Laudrup to Spurs.

For the sack I'd say Hughton.

Longest to shortest.

I agree with Mr weeze that Malky's days are numbered. Rumours around the club are that a Turkish manager is lined up for the job at the beginning of January.

Who the hell would want to manage them? Whoever takes on the Spurs job is going to have as much expectation as Moyes get from Utd fans, though the expectation is justified in Utd's case as they have a lot of recent history they'd like to continue.

Unless be really pissed off his England assistant Franco Baldini who is now Technical Director at White Hart Lane. Spurs are wealthy enough to attract a mercenary like Capello.
