I was thinking about a post I made on another thread and this scenario came into my head:-
1. Harry has turned the club around, has got CL qualification and has enjoyed a great run in Europe
2. As a result, Harry is in the frame for the England job
3. BUT we have failed to qualify again and if the club doesn’t return to the Top 4 in 2011/12, the FA may decide he has lost his touch and that 2009/10 was a flash in the pan. Result:- Harry doesn’t get the England job.
SO -
4. Harry walks at the end of this season and goes to his beloved Hammers who have just been relegated to the Championship
5. Harry will undoubtedly be able to recruit quality "relevant to the cause" of immediate promotion and may well get a few "old school" guys to go with him eg Crouch and Krankers who will be assured of a quick return to the top flight with Sullivan and Gold underwriting their salaries.
6. Harry gets the Hammers back up immediately romping the Championship thus displaying his credentials as a "man manager creating success" resulting in him reaffirming himself of the darling of England and ensuring the national job.
Any thoughts?
