Poll: Would you be happy with sharing Redknapp?

[Mr. Green]

Maybe Harry could even insist on an additional midweek international friendly. Preferably played somewhere far away, hostile, in a different time zone, at a stadium with a 5 hour donkey trek as the only access route. Then completely by coincidence not include any Spurs players in the squad...

Clubs are not obliged to release players outside the specified international dates...

Why do people think the England post requires a full-time manager at this time? You see shared duties routinely happening in North America with their national basketball and ice hockey national team programs. By and large, it works very well and this approach offers England the best overall, short-term solution.

A manager like Harry who's already running a top Premiership side is completely current to the game at many levels. He probably hears, sees and schemes about more things than some ivory tower-appointed interloper. Let Harry have the post with Pearce or some other assistant attending to the minor administrative details. The team will practically pick itself.

Only issue would be how much the strain of the trial has affected Harry's appetite for action.

If the FA were looking for a slightly longer-term solution, I'd be chasing Mourinho. Ideal holding-pond post while he awaits the retirement of Sir Alex.

Good point I am suprised more countries don't go this route. Harry for example watches a shedload of matches for scouting and game planning in England as it is, the only thing he would be missing is the time off when international matches are being played which most of the team he is watching these macthes as well

Some people are clearly madly in love with Redknapp seeing as they'd make such an intimate example as wife-sharing. It doesn't really hold up as an analogy when you bear in mind that we've had 6 managers in the last 8 years.
