Always Managing: My Autobiography

Frankly, I am huge admirer of Harry Rednapp. After all, he is the best English manager in my humble opinion. In fact, I started to admire him since his West Ham era where tons of youngsters were discovered and moved on to becomes superstars eventually. I admire his achievement in Pompey as well as my beloved club's biggest rival in Tottenham. So, I am looking forward to this book ever since my nephew brought it back from UK. Thanks again to my dearest nephew on this...

Daily Mail said it is "stunning". Sunday Times mentioned it is "rollicking" and Talksport claimed it is simply "extraordinary'. I would say this biography is stunning, rollicking and extraordinary! I love it so much that this is a book I found it hard to put down once I started. In fact, I only spent 3 days to finish this book. It was a nice read with tons of wisdom and sincere revealing by the current QPR gaffer. In my humble opinion, this book is on par with Sir Alex's latest biography.

The small flaws perhaps lies with the fact that certain confusing (at least to me) issues were not explained by the man himself. The sudden departure and row (was it a row?) with Daniel Levy was briefly mentioned without further details. Then, the England post issue which eventually goes to Roy Hodgson was mentioned; but, again with limited details. Finally, I wish to know more on the current QPR squad after they gain promotion this season. However, since this book was published earlier; the story ended when they are relegated to League Championship.

Overall, this biography provides great insight into football and the world of Harry Rednapp who had been playing the role of gaffer for more than 30 years. I would recommend this book to any football fan, regardless of which team they support. As such, for a rating of 10, I am going to rate it at 9/10. Harry has had a great career and hopefully he will continue to "always managing"...
