    Might be waiting to see what happens with England job.

    Would rather have him than Redknapp.

    I have a sneaky feeling Harry may turn it down TBH

    If Spurs end up getting into the champions league, and its looking good for that, then he may well like a shot at that. I would not blame him too. The England job has rapidly become a 'Poison Chalice'

    Can't see England even interviewing a guy who has been out of work for 4 years never mind giving him the job.

    Maybe he doesn't want to be a football manager any more. I mean, what's he waiting for, the Barcelona job?

    Curbishley for England? Can't see that in a million years. I do wonder what he's waiting for if he's turned down the Wolves job?! Won't get a better offer I suspect.

    Redknapp will be appointed on a p/t basis and then f/t after euros

    Maybe not Jay, the absence from the game doesn`t go in his favour and I dont even know if he is in the running/betting for the post, but him and Hodgson are the 2 I would prefer and they probably both dont stand a chance.

    Around 16/1 4th Fav Hodgson and Curbishley 66/1 along with Simon Davey and Glen Hoddle.

    Like Grand National betting that.

    Looks like 1 horse race and only 1 interview needed.

    I reckon Harry is wanting to do the euros then back to Spurs or make a decision afterwards.

    Re: I have a sneaky feeling Harry may turn it down TBH

    FYI, that's poisonED chalice. A chalice is not inherently poisonous, neither is it a vessel constructed specifically for the retention of poisonous liquids or substances. It alludes to the purposeful addition of poison with the deliberate intention of harming the unwary individual who may consume it's otherwise innocent contents as illustrated in the final tragic death scene in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Though to refer to a particular subject or situation as 'a poisoned chalice' infers not only a warning to be wary, but also that it is common knowledge that the chalice is poison and that it would be most foolhardy to proceed any further yet thy head take the form of a turnip.

    Re: I have a sneaky feeling Harry may turn it down TBH

    Yes, it's poisoned not poison, the phrase like...

    wiki-

    Poisoned chalice

    The term "poisoned chalice" is applied to a thing or situation which appears to be good when it is received or experienced by someone, but then becomes or is found to be bad. The idea was referred to by Benedict of Nursia in one of his exorcisms, found on the Saint Benedict Medal: Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas! (Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!).
    William Shakespeare uses the expression in Act I Scene VII of Macbeth. It occurs in the opening soliloquy of the scene when Macbeth is considering the ramifications of the murder he is plotting.
    But in these cases
    We still have judgment here; that we but teach
    Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
    To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
    Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
    To our own lips.
