Harry Redknapp to Spurs. Who saw that coming?
Spurs have shelled out a shit load of cash, yet again, on paying off Juande Ramos, Damien Comolli, Gus Poyet and Marcos Alvarez and had to pay Portsmouth £5m compensation to acquire the services of Redknapp.
I wonder how much Spurs have spent in compensation and pay-offs over the last few years? Hoddle, Santini, Jol...
They needed to do something drastically and they certainly have. Spurs fans will be delighted with the appointment I'm sure, but can Harry really turn it around at the Lane?

If they fail to beat Bolton today, they'll head into the North London derby on Wednesday night still searching for their first Premier League win of the season. Ha!
If Harry fails to keep Spurs up, they'll go down having forked out £60m (OK they sold Keane and Berbatov for £51m, but at what cost, relegation?) in the summer on players, plus whatever Harry is given to strengthen the side in January, plus the £5m compensation for Redknapp and what must be at least £10m pay-off for Ramos, Comolli and their cronies.
What appalling business that'll be.
I think they'll have enough to stay up, and I couldn't imagine a season without a North London derby - it just wouldn't be right.
But if I was a Spurs season ticket holder, I'd be non-too-happy with Daniel Levy... especially if 'arry does as he did at Southampton - take the club down then shoot back to his comfort zone.
Amazing Harry Redknapp fact: Apart from stating that he used to follow Spurs when he was a kid, it is common knowledge that 'arry was actually a Gooner. He's already sliding down in my estimation.
