Ooorrrrr it could be that manages the team until the end of the season, and then reverts to his director role next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 People wanted someone in charge who is experienced and who has won promotions. I don't mind it until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laugh when people criticise his money spending, if the chairman is giving it to him, he'll spend it! In any scenario he'll be better than DW!! Well he managed to get at least one team of overpaid mercenaries promoted from the championship, so let's see what he can do with ours. I do agree though - I think he is a great motivator and I like him as a manager as long as he doesn't have control of the purse strings (although his signings surely can't be worse than most of the ones we've made without him this season).

Gulp Herry Redknapp is in talks with Derby County over a shock move to become the club's director of football. Redknapp, the former QPR manager and Telegraph Sport columnist, has been approached by the ambitious Championship club and could be appointed in the next 24 hours. Derby are keen to offer their support to interim manager Darren Wassall who replaced Paul Clement earlier this season. Wassall has received criticism from a section of Derby supporters over recent results but Mel Morris the Derby chairman is determined to keep him inn charge until the end of the season. Talks are ongoing with Redknapp, 69, and his appointment should be confirmed this week, ahead of the East Midlands Derby against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Redknapp has been out of work within football since leaving Queens Park Rangers in January 2015. The manager who took Spurs to the Champions League has turned down offers to manage abroad in that time. Maybe sounds to me like we wanted him to come in and help coach for the last few games, but the only way we could get him was by giving him a DOF role at the end of it?

Yojimbo Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 This has to be concerning in the time of FPP. Harry Redknapp financial ruins just about every club he's associated with. At least he'll suit Morris' tactic of throwing money at things to see if something sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind it until the end of the season. Exactly. I'm surprised but I expect it gives us a better chance of promotion this season than the status quo, and that's key. Also, whatever else you think of him, Harry does tend to play attactive football - not so far from the Derby Way as some would suggest. Finally, he won't want to move from the south coast, so I suspect it would only be temporary. Maybe he'll stay at Mel's till the end of the season.
