Editor's Viewpoint: A golden day for Harry Redknapp

Thursday, 9 February 2012

Tottenham Hotspurs' manager Harry Redknapp had a golden day yesterday, firstly cleared by a jury of charges of tax evasion, and then learning that England manager Fabio Capello had resigned as the row over the axing of Chelsea's John Terry as captain of the national team continued to escalate.

Redknapp is everyone's favourite to take over as manager of the England team - the only question now seems to be when.

The other side of the coin, of course, is that the England vacancy is a concern for Tottenham. The club is enjoying its best season for many years and Redknapp is credited with creating a team capable of challenging for major honours. If he leaves can the club find another manager with his golden touch?

Why my kids feel Olympics are not the real thing now

I did quite well in my school exams, but the only thing for which I can confidently say I stood out like a beacon among my fellow pupils was my record-breaking 100-metres dash.

Think your money is legal tender? Don’t bank on it

Readers have a habit of shining spotlights on unexpected issues that throw up interesting queries. Or, on occasion, a downright can of worms.

World must open its eyes and see Israel for what it is

Why pick on Israel when there's so much injustice in the rest of the world? The answer is to be found in the specific circumstances which gave rise to the launch of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign in July 2005.

PR machine is driving Sinn Fein power push

Sinn Fein's ard fheis opens in Killarney tomorrow. Like most conferences held by successful political parties, it is a well-managed set-piece. It is a PR event and it is aimed at the voters watching on TV.
