its seems almost a certainty that harry will get the england job after capello leaves after the euros. but i can't understand this...why would harry take it now?
For the first time he has built a squad capable of challenging for major trophies at spurs, and he will almost certainly guide them to being the top side in london, and into the champions league. Surely he wouldn't want to leave spurs now when they can make a genuine title challenge next season? Doesn't seem the right thing to do if I was Harry.

Depends how his trial goes I think.

I agree with the OP, this is the best squad he's assembled at the best and biggest club he's managed, if I was HK I wouldn't give a second thought towards the matter, Spurs all the way.
I suppose a lot boils down to his pay, but I don't think any of us know the true difference between the two jobs.

Before he took the Sunderland job I would have had Martin O Neil for England. He took an average Villa side and made them top 6 material. Look at them now.
Harry will find it incredibly tough to turn down the England role.

Harry will find it incredibly tough to turn down the England role. Will he though? Playing for England means nothing any more to players, hence the huge amount of established England players mysteriously picking up 'knocks' before every friendly. Does the managers job mean anything to managers? I see it as a final big payout prior to retirement. The last job of your career kind of thing. Redknapp will not boost his reputation at England and then be able to come back to a bigger job than what he has right now. If the prestige means nothing and he doesn't want to retire after England, then he should stay at Spurs and perhaps take the England job after the next manager fails at it. It's a cursed job managing England, nobody has come out of it with any credibility since Bobby Robson. |

Harry has long moaned his bag off about foreign managers and said that no English manager worth their salt would turn the job down. He's going to look like a hypocrite and a bottler if he turns it down now.

It's because England aren't actually anything special when it comes to football. |

I suppose really it depends whether he feels he can do the job satisfactorily from his cell in the Scrubs.

In November he had a heart attack scare, so perhaps a steady part time England role (on even more money?) would be a good move for somebody in their mid 60s?

I'm not entirely sure Redknapp will even be offered the England job. The FA is notoriously conservative, it failed to back Terry Venables because of fears that he had skeletons in his cupboard, so El Tel went. If any dirt sticks at this tax evasion trial Harry won't be offered the job.

I honestly don't think Redknapp will take the job. I've never been convinced from day one of him being linked with it.

If a English born manager is the FA's no1 priority, they should look no further than Alan Pardew IMO.

I fit all those criteria - give us the job! |

Possibly, although he'll get a much easier ride from the media than Sven, McClaren, Capello etc got. |

I don't think he'd go for it.
He wouldn't be able to have a % of transfer profits written into his contract for a starter.
He needs to think about Rosie in all of this.

The England job is the biggest job in the country.
It's an honour for any English manager to manage England.
Can't see him turning it down at all.
Let's just hope he gets offered it.

If by some miracle we won Euro 2012 would Capello still go? Now I'm no fan of the bloke, but isn't it ridiculous that we're going into a competition when the manager knows he's going to be replaced, no matter how well we do?

Agree with second post....The trial may have a say in it all, unless he can mastermind success from inside a cell ala Noel Coward in the Italian Job  |

Italia '90 Exactly, I never liked Bobby Robson and was one of those calling for his head, but he went up massively in my estimation during the World Cup. Wish he'd stayed on. |

Could he mix the Tottenham and England jobs, or is that just the sort of thing that only happens in the realms of Football Manager?
It's funny how these court cases keep coming up for Redknapp whenever the England job becomes available.

No need to worry about the court case. I've no doubt he'll get plenty of character references that beg forgiveness for any (alleged) crimes because at least he plays the right way, and he never goes on tele to criticise refs

The England managers job remains, despite everything, one of the most prestigious jobs in world sport. Arry knows he could only get one chance.
