Premier League Update: Tottenham Hotspur to allow Harry Redknapp to talk to Chelsea
Days after Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp was being linked with a potential move to Chelsea, Spurs have gone on to allow the manager to talk to the club over a potential move.
In an unexpected surprise, Redknapp was spotted at the Chelsea training ground. However, as a result of these events, Redknapp’s odds went from being 25-1, to the bookies taking down any and all bets regarding the managers move to Chelsea.
Carlo Ancelotti, who was dismissed as Chelsea manager on the last day of the Premier League season, was given the marching order for not winning any trophies with the Blues. For that reason, it has become rather unclear as to why Chelsea would even want
to pursue the manager. Redknapp has not managed to turn Tottenham into a trophy winning club and should he move to Chelsea he would have a lot to prove.
At the same time, Redknapp was previously being favoured to take over from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 manager, after the Euro 2012 campaign, but should he join Chelsea, that would seem highly unlikely.
Tottenham have apparently given the manager permission to talk to the London club, in order to determine what he wants to make of his managerial career.
According to most experts, a move for Redknapp to Chelsea, could prove to be a rather disastrous one. The manager, if anything has proven to be a mid-table manager. That means, the manager can only help a team break into the middle of the League rankings
and at best compete for a spot in Europe, nothing more and nothing less. However, considering the amount of development that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 have undergone over the last couple of years, they are now a team, that at their very worst needs to finish in the top three
of the league. Also, apart from that, they need to be bringing home at least one form of silver ware.
Those demands seem to be a little too high for someone like Redknapp and on paper, he just doesn’t seem like the manager Chelsea really need.
On the other hand, this link with Redknapp has also gone on to rekindle the Guus Hiddink – Chelsea link. Hiddink despite being tied down to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026, is still being named as the favourite to come into Chelsea, but no statement has been released by the manager,
or the club regarding that rumour.
All in all, it is now going to be a wait for another couple of months to see who comes in as the new Chelsea manager.
