Jamie Redknapp On His Father's Future

Did you know that Jamie Redknapp has a column in the Daily Mail? I didn't, because I don't read the Daily Mail. Usually we're not huge fans of linking their stuff, but this is a case of Jamie Redknapp writing his own words, not a story about a transfer or injury. There's no ethical issue here, and no reason to believe that the words aren't credible. In his column for today's Daily Mail, Jamie wrote about his father's trial and his professional future.
Unsurprisingly, Jamie doesn't give anything away, but he's pretty blunt in saying that whatever he wants to do is his choice, and that no one should be mad if he does or does not become England manager. I'm inclined to agree.
Dad is the manager of Tottenham. He loves his job, loves what they have created and believes they are going places. This is the best squad he's ever worked with ... I don't want this to sound selfish, but whatever my dad ends up doing, he has to do what is best for him. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, it's not meant to, but, after what he has been through for the last five years, it has to be his choice. He hasn't been offered the England job, the FA haven't approached Tottenham and Tottenham aren't keen to lose him. That's where we are.
I'm going to spew some opinion with no basis in fact. I think that Harry Redknapp is going to become the next England manager, and I think we're going to get some money/incentives for it. He's not going to be offered the job before the next friendly, even though today's Mirror reported otherwise. That's today's edition of Kevin's unsolicited opinions with absolutely no basis in fact. No, I do not "call this journalism."

You know what I'm wondering now
What if Levy manages to gently twist ’Arry’s arm into staying, if only for a few months, in his current post, or makes things too difficult for the FA for him to be prised away immediately- do we get another Luka situation where’s there’s question marks over Redknapp’s head over where he wants to be until he departs? Will it affect the rest of our campaign?

What kind of leverage does Levy have?

A contract
Spurs are entitled to compensation if another team (or FA) take him away. Chelsea payed Porto a ton of money to get them to let AVB go, it would be a similar situation here. Harry has 15 months left on a $3-mil a year contact, so that’s the absolute minimum. I would imagine Levy would demand more than that to cover the ‘turmoil’ etc. of losing a manager, especially if it ends up being before the season ends.

On the flip side,
could Spurs have an “easier” road to the FA Cup now?

He can only ask for compensation
Trust me, you do not fuck around with the FA.

The way they do business is with hold grudges and generally being above reproach
I mean, unless you want the club to be fucked over at every red card review and shit like that.

I’m not exactly upset if Harry leaves. I loooove him as a manager and wish he could stary for years but in sports this stuff is inevitable. If you can’t get over change, you’re a pretty crappy fan. The important thing is Levy and all the stars would still be here. It sounds tough but in the end I feel we could get over it.
Yeah it's not like he's going to another club where he then could take all your stars away

If we
basically end up swapping Harry for any one of Capello or HIddink I would say that’s actually a pretty big upgrade. I realize Capello coming to Tottenham is highly unlikely, as it looks like he will probably retire or go manage in Italy. However, Hiddink is a possibility I think. That would be great.
