Harry Redknapp Tips Mauricio Pochettino To Takeover At Arsenal

Harry Redknapp has backed Mauricio Pochettino to replace Unai Emery followed up by bizarre Sadam Hussain comparison.

Tottenham Hotspur ended their relationship with the Argentine this week and immediately appointed Jose Mourinho as his replacement.

Arsenal are in a queer spot themselves with Unai Emery failling to deliver wins. The Gunners faithful have lost hope on their manager and wants to see a new face takeover. Pochettino is a rightful candidate even though he managed their direct rivals for over 5 years.

“With Pochettino going from Tottenham, there will be one or two Premier League managers waking up this morning thinking, ‘oh my God, this ain’t too clever’,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

“And there will be one or two chairmen very excited this morning thinking if there’s any way they could get him in. What a signing he’d be.

“There are clubs in London who are having a terrible time. Why shouldn’t he go to Arsenal if he wants to? You think the Arsenal fans wouldn’t love him there?

“If you go in there and start winning football matches, they would have taken Saddam Hussein in there when he was about, the fans don’t give a monkey’s! If you start winning every week, they’re singing ‘there’s only one Saddam’.

“It happens in football – Sol Campbell went from Tottenham to Arsenal, George Graham did it, Terry Neill did it, Pat Jennings, one of our greatest goalkeepers in history, even he made the change.

“It can happen, as long as you can do the job. I would have thought Arsenal will be looking at Pochettino now thinking, ‘could we? Can we?’”
