Harry could read the back of a shampoo bottle and still tell an interesting story.

[Joeking]

Remember being in school and there being a load of hype around a big signing that summer, was underwhelmed when Merse turned up ... 2 weeks into the season I ate my words, absolute poet! Wonderful season.

[jerome]

great choice with the music, it goes so well with Harry’s cockney accent . . Kinda makes it seem like a scene from snatch

[shaunmcnally]

It's brilliant to hear Harry's side of this story, exactly the same as Mers told it! Brilliant stuff, and this says a lot about Harry's man management, he knew exactly how to handle this situation

[SonnyK]

Harry was the most uncomplicated manager of all time and he always delivered. His priority is get the players on the pitch and get them to play well. It’s why he would have made a great England manager. At Spurs his only tactic was give the ball to Luka Modric 😂 all the players were told when you get the ball “give it to Luka!” One time Palacios passed the ball to someone else and Harry chewed him out and said “I don’t care if he’s two yards away from you Wilson, always give it to Luka!” Also Joe Cole said he asked Harry what to do when he was about to send him on for his debut and he asked Cole who his favourite player was and he said Zola so Redknapp said “go play like him”

Sir Alex gave the same leniency to Cantona . Some players are just mavericks but their talent is worth it.

[TheHungryTrollRawr]

The thing is, had he been an average player, he would have been hammered for it - possibly out the door! But because of his talent, the team needed Merson more than he needed them. Great decision by Harry

[stevesaunders]

It goes to show it is just whatever works for you 😅 there are no set rules

[seagulls]

Well done Harry for being decent there is probably a few other stories you could have told there but you kept it clean and respected merson in the process

[shanekelley]

Merse did this at Villa too! Love Merson but lol!

[AnotherRandomFellow]

I heard Merson's version too. Funny

[stonesdon]

Great manager Harry. Wish he got the England job

[UnchainedMelody]

And nowadays players get criticized by pundits for their haircuts and being on social media...

[kennywilkinson]

Would love for us to sign delli alli and him do a merse get us back up there

[yamyam]

Watched him at walsall and you could see the difference in class to the other players even though he was in the latter stages of his career

[UKSoloHiking]

Proper manager Harry was. Imagine the managers today letting their ego go for the sake of the team like that. Jose would be on tv in 10 minutes slagging the guy off lol

[JHBBASS]

That’s terrific management right there

[danh]

Merson was class at pompey the fans don't forget
