I think Harry would be much better off staying at Spurs. The England job is a thankless one and he has seen many of his colleagues who have taken the position go down in flames. He has a good side at Spurs club (that supported him in his latest tax troubles) that are likely to wind up in the CL next year compared to an England squad in need of a massive overhaul. I think we will use the England job as leverage to get more funds from the Spurs board to be able to sign Bale and Modric to long term deals and buy a new striker.

I agree that would appear to be the smart move, but I think the allure of rebuilding the national team may be too much for him to pass up. I love the soap opera that is the English National Team! What a mess.

England coach is a lot less work than Tottenham coach, and likely pays better. Nice pre-retirement job. He'd probably get a 4-6 year contract. I think he will jump all over it if offered. It isn't like Harry hasn't walked out on other teams before in midseason. Priceless how AVB is pushing him for the job.
