Is it Redknapp's fault that Storrie constantly agreed to the signings etc? Who was to blame for Leeds, O'Leary or Ridsdale?

 

Everyone seems to suggest it's Ridsdale so why is it Redknapp in this situation?

 

Redknapp and Storrie are in cahoots, and worked together at Upton Park and Fratton Park.

 

Look at how many deals Willie McKay has done with Redknapp/Storrie down the years.

 

West Ham fans are also still wondering what happened to the £29M from the sale of Ferdinand and Lampard years ago.

"I don't know where it all goes,'' Redknapp said. "We all thought we built a terrific team there. But you're only relying on the owner. They've had four or five different owners and they need someone to come in and take it on and steady the ship really.''

 

£5 million house in the exclusive coastal development of Sandbanks, near Poole Harbour, or the nearby Lorenzo's restaurant????

Because of Bournemouth, Southampton and West Ham. As well as Portsmouth.

 

Chairman/Owners should be stronger. They should see 'arry is interested only in short term relative success, to top up his unwarranted reputation as a "top" manager, and making money.

 

Best bet would be not employing him. He'd never get a job north of Watford.

So it's Storrie's fault then? Redknapp has absolutely no authorisation on signing any cheques, he just identifies what he wants and asks for it.

 

Yes, he's obviously irresponsible by asking for certain things, like O'Leary was, but it's the financiers job to determine the budgets, surely?

Phil Brown was good on Football Focus. Pointed out that he was interested in some of the players that went to Portsmouth but couldn't compete with the wages they paid them, and now they can't pay the bills. Also asked how the Premier league can give them next year's tv money now when they aren't going to be a Premier league club next year?

 

I'm feeling very Drago about all this. If they die, they die.

From my understanding the Premier League and the FA have been unable to implement any type of safety net, mainly because of the reluctance of the clubs. So let them fold
