I read a thread a while back that someone had spoken to Kevin bond and he had said there was a bad apple in the dressing room.



After doing some digging I have found a few things out not 100% on all but I trust my source.



1. Harry and bond have had a falling out. Bond has the support of most of the players. Harry now drives himself to and from London rather than car sharing with bond.



2. Bobby Zamora is the bad apple in the dressing room or rather was. Other members of the squad did not like his attitude, performances or lack of effort. Harry likes bobby. Tension arose leading to bond/Redknapp falling out.

Since Zamora has returned from injury he has redoubled his efforts and found some form. Apparently one player told him he was the only person in the world who got shorter when he jumped for the ball and he didn't appreciate it much.



3. Wally downes. He is the defensive coach! Make of that what you will. He is also well known as a prankster and as a lighthearted influence on training sessions. It is thought he was bought in to introduce a bit of fun to the squad and encourage some team mentality and comraderie between the squad. He is popular with a lot of the more senior players.



I got the impression that Redknapp has lost his love of the game and is really just going through the motions. He wants to do well but has struggled to motivate himself and the team. Bond and Jordan are trying to take up the slack. Bond possibly feels that Harry is letting us down hence the falling out. Of course this is just my speculation based on what I was able to discover over the weekend.
