I have a gut feeling that Harry won't get or will not accept (if offered) the England job. This of course is contrary to overwhelming popular opinion.
Why would a man who will be 65 soon and has suffered ill-health want to take up such a poisoned chalice? He is in a tremendous position at Spurs and paid very handsomely. His contract at Tottenham is up for renewal in summer 2013 so any approach from England, if ultimately refused, would assist him in renegotiating his contract. In addition there is a buyout clause of £5m in his contract so the FA will have to pay a minimum of £8m+ if they want to prize him away from Daniel Levy's grasp (as he is paid £3m+ per annum).
I laid Harry @ 1.44 when the Capello announcement was made. So you haven't missed anything because you could lay him at a shorter price now (1.37 as I write).
The market seems clueless as to who might get the job if it's not Harry. Except that there has been a tiny move for Pep Guardiola who is now a best priced 10/1. I'm not suggesting a bet on Pep as the larger prices have been missed. But if you are thinking the same way as I am your options are to lay Harry @ 1.37 and/or have a small interest on Pep @ 10/1 with William Hill (only 7/2 with skybet).
