Yes really, in cases like this the prosecution evidence needs to be water tight, I don't think it was.

His public perceived 'dodgy geezer', therefore he must be guilty reputation, went before him, and will continue to do so despite the not guilty verdict...mud sticks.

Speaking of reputations, using the NOTW 'investigation' as evidence wasn't the brightest thing for the prosecution to do in the current climate.

What I'd like to know is where was this high profile figure who was going to turn Queen's evidence and spill the beans on the whole bung culture?..more internet gossiping fishwives nonsense, surely not?

Surely the millions of pounds on Harry's investigation and court case could have been better spent on investigating the likes of Barclays Bank, Vodafone, Boots, Tesco, etc for cheating public funds. The return of initial investments would yield billions instead of Redknapp's paltry thousands. Enough to half the UK deficit.


I'd like to see NOTW and the Police in the dock over the Harry Redknapp affair too.


It does put a smile on my face watching 'red devil' backtracking over the prosecution evidence.

Capello knows he has messed up (not in the Terry-captaincy issue but simply as a coach) and was looking for a way out so he would not be blamed when it goes tits up at the Euros. It's the managerial equivalent of a player going down in the box "looking for it".


Harry should stay where he is and not even consider England until after the Euros - appoint a caretaker manager for now (Brooking?) - He needs to start with a clean slate as England boss and start from scratch at the beginning of a campaign not try and clean up someone else's mess.

Did you say 'Harry Bunce!?' "Now look sunshine...!"

Irregardless of what anyone thinks of Terry (and my view of him is not something he could repeat to his mother) the FA left Capello with no choice. Either a manager is the manager or he isn't. The FA completely undermined Capello here. And let's not also forget that Capello is the highest paid international manager ever by far......which only leaves me with one word....'Chelsea' to illustrate where throwing money at the game gets you. Now we are less than 5 months away from an international tournament with no manager. If anyone was in doubt that the FA is run by f*ckwits before, they won't be now.

100% Agree FA run by total f*ckwits they are the biggest problem every England football team has to overcome.


It's quite obvious there was zero communication with the manager.


It?s a common problem among British ?high? level management just incredibly arrogant.


This country is going through an incredible period of misjudgement and incompetent decision making from Council child protection all the way up to the FA it?s an embarrassment.


But the press will paint is as a great situation.


We remain a country RUN by the pathetic British PRESS !!!!

The FA's tactics don't suggest incompotence or arrogance to me - it suggests a canny acknowledgement that the (plenty arrorgant himself) manager had lost the support of much of the team and country, and had made a rod for his own back with Terry on more than one occassion. By "going over his head", they set in place a chain of events which led to yesterday's resignation - something which saved them millions in compensation


They are now set fair to install a popular manager in plenty of time for Euro 2012. Capello is one of the richest managers in football regardless. What exactly is to get upset about, or start pointing fingers about the "state of the country"


As for innocent-until-proven-guilty - absolutely right and still applies here. terry isn't being banged up because of the accusations - he has been demoted from his captaincy.. Just as he was for the (less serious) allegations around the Wayne Bridge nonsense. Just as Woodgate and Bowyer were dropped when their assaults were unproven and alleged.


As a self-professed leader, Terry could have saved his manager and his team a lot of hassle by seeing the circus that would overshadow any footballing considerations, and stepped down to concentrate on clearing his name. The counter argument is that could be seen as admission of guilt but it's possible to state otherwise and fight the case on facts

What SJ said about JT etc EXCEPT the FAs incompetece and arrogance was in giving Capello an improved and non-results orientated extension to his contract PRIOR to the WC in South Africa, which folloiwing the debacle thereafter has left practically everyone scratching their heads about a) Why? and b) what to do with an overpaind, failed international manager who 'wouldn't' fall on his sword after failure as he had a watertight lucrative contract.


They may have used the JT situation to oust him but they chose him and then put him in the driving seat (contractually) in the first place.


Incompetent.

Ah yes the FA are a bunch of geniuses?


No doubt from the same school of management as British Leyland and RBS school of Genius British management.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
