Harry Redknapp is linked to the England job and by the time the Three Lions take to the field at Euro this summer, he will probably be England manager. Fine. We're not going to fight that and pretend like it is not going to happen because it is and we will be left wringing our hands while Daniel Levy searches for the next Tottenham manager this summer. In the meantime though, can Harry just focus on the job he has, or at least not invite more speculation about his impending move?
Of course he can't. If he could then he just wouldn't be Harry, but really, now is not a good time to speculate about the England team.
"Let's be honest, you would love to have Paul Scholes in the Euros this year," Harry said. "He'd be in your team, he's that good. Whoever's there would love to take him, I'm sure. You'd love him to play. He plays like the Spaniards, like Xavi [Hernández] or [Andrés] Iniesta. He does not give the ball away."
"You need men in your side, you need characters if you are going to win anything," Harry said, referencing all of those top lads. "Frank [Lampard] is still a top player. You write Frank off at your peril. He's still a top player in my opinion. Stevie Gerrard is still a top-class player. We have got some good players in our midfield."
"I think there are some good candidates," but Harry still had some praise for a Spur, eventually and kind of. "Gerrard is a good candidate. Stevie Gerrard is a fantastic player. There are one or two who could do it. Scottie [Parker] could do it, for sure, but so could Steve."
See, Harry, this just ramps up speculation. At a time like this, you could just shut up. It would do everyone a load of good. Step one, Keep managing Spurs and their tr'ffic players. Step two, England offers you the job. Step three, you take the job. It's simple and between step one and step two, you do not need to add in a step where you talk about England and make everything unbearable. Step two is coming anyways.
This has been your weekly lesson in shut the hell up. Next week, we'll discuss that reality TV girl whose name I don't know.

Might as well ask a fish not to swim
Or a Liverpool fan not to be paranoid. If Harry’s breathing, he’s talking.

Watching Harry pick the England team is going to be amazing.
So many top top lads for just 11 spots. Scholes, Lampard, Parker, Joe Cole, Gerrard, Beckham…. That’s a right triffic midfield innit?
in midfield?

What is the oldest avg team age in the WC?
If Harry is in charge for 2014, we might just see something special. 2 more years for all these guys to get older, but Harry never forgets.
Shutting the hell up
Is not what Harry does. Harry talks. Harry talks as long as anyone will listen, and then he talks for a long, long time after that. Harry’s always got his car window down.
The other day The Fiver said something about a Harry interview, ending with “Harry abruptly ended the interview, 37 minutes later.”. That’s about the size of it.
The difference here is that as England manager the media is actually interested to hear it, even if no one else is. Nobody really wants to hear that much Tottenham chatter, but England? They’re going to have to open a separate channel just for him.
A hilarious article about 'Arry
A bit harsh, but you can’t argue with the facts as he presents them. He even left out “managed Southampton to relegation between stints at their arch-enemy”, which is a positively novelistic achievement, except you wouldn’t buy it if it was in a novel.
