Lomas & Redknapp

[Muttley]

I picked up a copy of the Evening Standard at Kings Cross tonight to read on the way home.

There was an article in the Sports section about Steve Lomas and Millwall's upcoming game v QPR.

One paragraph said:

Redknapp gave Lomas a glowing recommendation earlier this year and advised Doncaster to appoint him when they were looking for a new manager.

Is/was this common knowledge? I can't remember seeing anything about it.

Did DRFC approach Redknapp for his opinions? Or is he just a self-appointed loudmouth?

I would imagine and hope the club do their homework by asking about potential new managers so it is entirely possible.

Don't be daft bfyp! Can you imagine JR, or the person(s) in charge of our club writing to Arry(who by his own admission in court is semi-illiterate). A more likely scenario was, "How do you get your dog to be the principal owner of a property potfollio that is losing more than the Dons in in the late 70s/early 80s"

[GazLaz]

JR speaks to a lot of people in the game when appointing managers. Sure I've heard that link before.

With the way PD is doing I am certainly glad that JR decided NOT to listen to Redknapp.

Chuffing ell lads. I skim read that header and thought it said "Louise Redknapp".

Reight disappointed when I opened the thread.

I reckon Redknapp might have had something to do with O'Driscoll being our manager, after all, weren't they at Bournemouth together?

While that could be possible, I think the hammering we received from SOD's Bournemouth made JRs mind up...

Was that the game at BV where we won 4-3?

[RobTheRover]

No, the tonking we took on the south coast in L1

[Jenny]

I think So'D gets too much credit for that tonking - it was more Penney's reluctance to replace a player that was quite clearly injured before it was too late.

[The Red Baron]

I don't think it was so much the fact that they beat us 5-0. It was more to do with JR being impressed by how SO'D had built a footballing side on a limited budget.

[RobTheRover]

Yes...

...and they tonked us too.
