There's a brilliant interview with Harry Redknapp in the Radio Times this week.
He basically says all modern day footballers are complete arseholes who hide behind their agents, none having the balls to say things to his face.
He tells a funny story about Darren Bent. Bent missed an open goal in a match and in the Sky interview straight after the game Redknapp said "my old woman would have scored that". Rather than approach Redknapp directly, Bent called his agent who called the Spurs Chairman to inform him Bent wanted a transfer. What a fecking ponce.
Redknapp goes on to say footballers can't take any form of criticism anymore and he has to walk on eggshells, even with the younger reserve players.
When a no-nonsense manager like Redknapp is saying these things, it must be even worse at clubs like Bolton who have soft managers. How did this happen? When did players stop being employees who do as their boss tells them?
I blame the fans. They are too quick to idolise these twats and treat them like Gods. We should be booing these players at every opportunity, are you with me?
