RedKnapp is a great manager. His record speaks for itself. His teams are great to watch and the lessons he learned in the company of modern day legends at the academy of football-West Ham- has stood him in good stead. You can't play week in and out with the likes if Bobby Moore and others without learning a thing or two. Players like Defoe and Lampard owe a lot of their success to his coaching skills and mangers like Ferguson view him as a quality manager because that is what he is.
