Come the summer, unless there is a conspiracy of silence amongst his friends, Harry's transfer policy at Spurs will get some public airing. It is nothing short of shambolic. Blame Levy all you like, and I know some do, but the truth is that IF Levy had given on ALL Redknapp's request, you'd be left with virtually no money to spend this summer and a bunch of early 30-year olds on massive fudging wonga; NOT progressive or smart!
I am ALL for experience, and will once again say that I was proven wrong by Scott Parker's signing (though we can now see that when over-used/knackered out, his pitch GPS goes funny) but everyone could see the issues yet Harry didn't address them definitively because he fears big money gambles.
As some have rightly said, Saudi Sportswashing Machine did very well without massive spending; look who Saudi Sportswashing Machine's chief scout is and where he came from!!!!!! Graham Carr left in February 2010, a time when fortunes were up up up. I'd like to know why...
Still looking forward to a summer of rebuilding, a new manager, youngsters coming in and the so called "Superstars" leaving.
"I said to the chairman 'Can you get me Carlos Tevez'. It wasn't possible, but that was my dream, 'Can we get Tevez'. We would have loved Tevez, but it wasn't doable because his wages are whatever they are ÔÇô ?ú200,000 a week, it's not possible at Tottenham to buy him.
"It was me thinking, 'He's not in the team, he's fallen out with [Roberto] Mancini'. You don't know do you, unless you ask. It was just a little try."

In fairness to both Harry and Levy, they did try to get someone else before Saha.
Nope with Harry still in Charge it will be:
David James
Not sure we can sell Saha, Nelsen and Cudicini when they are all out of contract anyway.
Those 3 plus King are already gone come 30 June unless we actively seek to keep them.
So become like Liverpool?
Adam - Blackpool
Henderson - Sunderland
Carroll - Saudi Sportswashing Machine
Downing - Aston Villa?
Liverpool - Reina
Fulham - Dempsey, Dembele
Chelsea - Drogba
Saudi Sportswashing Machine - Ba, Krul
Everton - Jaglielka, Baines
WBA - Dorrans
Our first priority would be to try and offload number of fringe players who clog up our wage bill while in turn offering nothing of substantial value to the team or simply need to move on for the sake of their careers
Saha
Nelsen
Cudicini
Gomes
Jenas
Corluka
Bassong
Bentley
Gio
King to retire
Id estimate thats around 500k/week in wages alone - tremendous amount for a club of our financial model.
As far as targets are concerned - I strongly believe we need to look beyond MotD for potential signings and aim to bring in at least one prospect similar to 'Berbatov' and Modric. In my opinion we only need 3 quality signings this summer - one in each part of the field - CF, wide midfielder/winger, and a CB. We could potentially survive another season with our current GK backup if funding is limited - i.e. we need to prioritise
Nope with Harry still in Charge it will be:
P Nev
David James
Nigel Quashie
Matt Upson.
Battling for 3rd and still the snidey digs keep coming.
