No Reunion With Public Enemies Number 1 and 2 On Saturday
Saints fans were coming face to face with what are generally considered Public Enemy number 1 and public enemy number 2 at Loftus Road on Saturday but now the reunion is off.
It is far to say that Harry Redknapp is generally considered the worst manager in Saints history and is hated for the utter shambles he made of his year in charge at St Mary's culminating in the clubs relegation from the Premier League in 2005 with a disinterested "Arry" of course claiming that it wasn't his fault but everyone else.
If Harry is number 1 then for older fans Glenn Huddle is number 2 for the way he did the dirty on Saints back in 2001, Mauricio Pochettino of course is in the top 3 and it is no coincidence that the name Tottenham Hotspur is the club apart from Saints that links them, that club just seems to attract a certain type of manager it seems.
But the reunion with Redknapp and his coach Glenn Huddle schedules for Saturday is now off after Arry resigned and Huddle soon followed him.
Redknapp has cited that he has a knee operation scheduled so therefore can't give his full attention so it is best he resigns, what an excuse, I bet the op would have been postponed if QPR were in mid table and in the Capital One Cup Final.
Of course he has already been making his excuses, but the reality is that he has ailed at QPR and is getting out before the finger of blame is pointed at him, if QPR go down e well whine that he was never given the resources and if he had got in who he wanted in the January window For Sure.
Glenn Huddle has followed him and they have been joined by another ex Saint Joe Jordan who has jacked in his hand in support of Array.
So now baiting of Redknapp for Saints fans on Saturday which is probably for the best as we can concentrate on what matter most and that is all three points.
