Liverpool are trailing Spurs’ manager Harry Redknapp as a successor to Rafa Benitez according to football365.com. After guiding Spurs to fourth place in the Premier League last season, Redknapp is seen as an ideal candidate to replace Rafa. Despite increasing rumours, Spurs’s boss insists he would not leave Tottenham.
Here is Redknapp’s statement to ESPN Soccernet:
I am not being presumptuous turning down Liverpool, because I haven’t been offered the job and haven’t spoken to anyone about it.
There is no need, as I have one year left on my contract at Tottenham and I am not thinking about anything other than being at White Hart Lane next season.
I can tell you that I have not been offered a new contract, but that doesn’t mean I am looking to move on – far from it.
I am loyal to Spurs, I want to stay at Spurs and I have a contract with Spurs, and I’d be happy to sign a new contract at Spurs if I was offered one, but in any case I have one year on my contract.
Would you like Harry Redknapp to be Liverpool’s next manager?
