Harry Redknapp... Betting gone mad!
The ever-revolving madness that is the bookies' odds on the next Everton Manager took another dubious twist today with reports claiming that "Harry Redknapp seems likely to take over the reins of the Everton job from David Moyes"...
Bookmakers reported a drop in price this morning to 7/4 on the QPR manager, who has just presided over the relegation of the heavily resourced London club. His price has been cut from 25s to 7/4 overnight with a reported flurry of activity on this market.

Just came back off holiday, turned on the radio and started to drive home from the airport and heard us linked to 'appy 'arry. Nearly crashed my car as I shouted no F****g way. The wife would not talk to me till we reached the tunnel, not like me to swear in front of her! Please not, even fizzer is better!

Mark Hughes is the only worse candidate I can think of. And that's a close run thing.

I refuse to believe this story. Someone is extracting the urine. Surely even Kenwright wouldn´t be insane enough to offer the job to this clown. Even an internal appointment would be preferable to Arry. There cannot be any truth in this, can there......?

NOOO! He is the biggest mercenary in football, just beats Hughes. He'll take the Fellaini money and use it to buy some new Pedigree sticks for Buster or whatever the dogs' name is.

Could you imagine 'Arry in the dugout with his melted wax pig face, just about to bring on Jermain Defoe for Peter Crouch who he'd signed and then sold and then re-signed for half the price, then blooming Joe Jordan turns up and says he's done a deal to bring back some 38 yr old Nigerian called 'the Yak'!?!??........if this rumour is true I'll eat my hat.

'Arry is that bent he would quite happily spread Mr Chairmans bullshit as long as the cheque was big enough

For all his faults, he does set up teams to attack in an expansive way...certainly a nice change from what's been mostly served up for the last 10-15 years.

If Dirty Harry is named I'm off to "the Theater of Dreams" with DM, temporarily.
Dirty Harry will stay until another, better offer us tendered to him.
I turned Blue (my 1st introduction to the EPL) in 1999 when the 1st Yank, JMM transferred in. Stayed loyal, traveled across the pond several times to Goodison and some away fixtures. PLEASE, this Dirty Harry stuff is total shite.

Pur-leese! This is quite obviously bullshit. Don't get so wound up people. for all his many faults, Kenwright wouldn't be looking for a used car sales man in a month of sundays.

Why not? Safe hands. Nows the business inside out. It wasn't his fault that QPR went down, he came in too late. Don't think he'd come because he would want money to spend but if he did I would be pleased. He's a proven top manager which is more than you could say for some of the candidates put up by the usual bloons on here.

It won't be Harry as apparently it is reported in the Mal online that if Martinez doesn't arrive it's going to be David Weir as our new manager.. As well as impressing those responsible for the appointment in his interview he also has the backing of David Moyes.

Just another name to add to the media/bookies feeding frenzy. It's tiresome and irritating now.

He won't come. We ain't got any transfer budget for him to wheel and deal.

Funny how opinions change. Less than 18 months ago there was a discussion on here in which the majority of posters were singing HR's praises, largely for the job he was doing st Spurs, but also because he'd won the FA Cup with Pompey. He was someone that many posters here suggested could be the man to take us to the next level. It was probably about the same time as he was getting touted for the England job. I distinctly remember this, as I got a bucketload of abuse for suggesting otherwise. Reality check I guess?

Patrick Murphy # 169 Perfect reasons NOT to appoint Weir. Replacing one DIRE DEFENSIVE DOUR Jock with another is just ludicrous.

Mark a little bit disingenuous to say a majority, melted wax face a a track record of bankrupting clubs and leaving them deep in the shit, he's another Barry biggest squad in history Fry except he has a clever offshore bank account holding dog. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, then or now.

It wouldn't surprise me if one of Stubbs or Neville has already been installed as our new manager and whilst Moyes is still here he will be helping out whichever one it is. It won't be announced because of BK the luvvy, he will think out of 'respect' to his idol Moyes, he won't want to release it while he is still our manager.
Expect our new manager to be announced July 2nd.

Tim,
What evidence do you have to suggest that David Weir is "DIRE DEFENSIVE DOUR...?"
For the record, I don't want him to manage us either, but your casual & persistent xenophobia towards the Scots offends me.
This 'Jock,' thing...please knock it off.

Gavin, I'm not suggesting most people who read or contribute to toffeeWeb - but certainly the majority of people who contributed to that thread. There was a huge 'Arry love in. And I got loads of abuse for pointing out what I consider to be a few of his many failings. I guess it was either about the time Saha went to Spurs, or Harry was on the FA's radar for the England job and Moyes was being mentioned for the Spurs job.

Open on Harry Redknapp sitting in a pink leather armchair in staggeringly tackily designed living room.

Mark Stone - No Mark, he's at home in Chez H, but he DID use the same interior designer as Neville.
Katie Price.

Martinez is first choice, then one of the lads. Pereira has fallen away as bill finds his football too dangerous. BK's only talking to the cockney godfather to seek his advice on off-shore tax havens.

I suspect Harry and BK would `see through each other` so it wont happen.
The Formby Favourite remains `one of our own`.Alan Stubbs.Supporting evidence is that he bought every Evertonian a coffee last week by way of celebration.
Stevie G`s lot also have him as `already appointed`.No mention of Weir.
No work tomorrow,so no Wigan goss but I still have their man as fave.

I think the bookies keep altering the odds to try and get some money in their satchels as I believe there is very little betting on our next manager. Maybe they have thought well their after Martinez whose side were relegated so maybe there after Harry whose side was also relegated.

Leaving aside whether he should be entertained, or not, as our next manager, I'm disappointed at several people on here using terms like "twitchy eyed" and "melted wax pig face". Are you charitable individuals aware of the fact that his facial tic among another of other problems derives from being in a minibus accident in 1990, while in Italy following the World Cup.
"In June 1990, while in Italy to watch the World Cup, Redknapp was involved in a road accident along with Michael Sinclair, the chairman of York City, Fred Whitehouse, the chairman of Aston Villa and Bournemouth's managing director Brian Tiler, who died along with four other people. ...their minibus was in collision with a car [and] flipped onto its roof and skidded fifty yards along the road. Redknapp was doused in petrol and pulled clear of the accident by Sinclair. Redknapp suffered a fractured skull, a broken nose, cracked ribs and a gash in his left leg. Ambulance services arriving at the scene believed him dead and placed a blanket over his head. Unconscious for two days Redknapp was flown home two weeks later in a special air ambulance paid for by AFC Bournemouth."
Yeah, let's laugh at guys who've suffered misfortune such as that, we're Everton we are! And that Brian Tiler, an even bigger loser, eh!

At least Pompey got some compensation from Spurs when Redknapp was head-hunted - £8 million, I think.
