It certainly is a bold prediction from Harry Redknapp. While United have made great progress under Erik ten Hag and have made a couple of decent singings this transfer window, they are still quite behind Manchester City and perhaps even Arsenal in terms of quality.

Arsenal have had brilliant transfer window on the back of a stunning season and they are certainly going to serious title contenders as well. They have already had one over City as they beat them in the Community Shield on Sunday.

Harry Redknapp suggests elite-level Premier League striker could follow Mauricio Pochettino to Chelsea

Luka Foley — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 23:14:52 +0000

Harry Redknapp believes Harry Kane could follow Mauricio Pochettino to Chelsea as the Argentine gets closer to becoming Blues boss.

Pochettino is set to be announced as Chelsea’s new manager very soon and this has led to some albeit far-fetched rumours that Kane could follow his former boss to Stamford Bridge.

Now, ex-Spurs boss of four years Harry Redknapp has given some Chelsea fans hope of Kane joining their team, saying to the Beyond the Pitch Podcast: “It will be interesting if Pochettino goes to Chelsea.

“That wouldn’t go down well with the Tottenham fans at all that’s for sure. It’s a great move for him and I think Kane’s building a house in that area. He’s a family man and he’d be happier not moving to the north of England or wherever he’d have to go.”

Kane has been in the Tottenham first team for ten seasons

However, Kane’s loyalty to Tottenham has been nothing short of amazing and Redknapp does think that it wouldn’t be surprising to see the 29-year old extend his stay at Spurs come the end of the season.

“I’ve personally got a feeling he’ll stay and sign a new contract. I may be wrong but I think he could stay at Tottenham.”

Kane has kept very quiet on his future, so nobody is any the wiser as to where he could end up. As a result, it promises to be a very interesting saga surrounding his next destination – if he does decide to move on from Spurs – this summer.

‘Take him all day long’ – Redknapp suggests world class star would give Tottenham the quality they lack

Jason Pettigrove — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 16:08:34 +0000

There are still nine games for Tottenham to play before the end of their 2022/23 Premier League campaign so a potential 27 points are up for grabs, however, the way that the teams around them are playing suggests that a finish in the Champions League positions could be hard to come by.

The north Londoners find themselves in fifth position and just three points behind Newcastle and Man United in third and fourth place, albeit the pair have a game in hand on Spurs.

Managerial upheaval and the removal of Fabio Paratici as managing director of football because of a worldwide ban, detailed by The Athletic (subscription required), can’t have helped to keep things on an even keel at White Hart Lane, with the first-team flattering to deceive on the pitch.

Only one win in the last six in all competitions per WhoScored hints at the issues facing the club at present.

Whilst not a crisis as such, it does give Daniel Levy a nod to what he needs to do in order to help the club get back to challenging for every trophy.

A first-class managerial appointment aside, player transfers have to be spot on this summer, and former Tottenham manager, Harry Redknapp, has suggested that his old club could do no worse than re-signing Real Madrid’s Luka Modric.

Speaking on talkSPORT’s Breakfast show, Redknapp said: “They haven’t got a Luka Modric […] if he don’t sign his contract at Real Madrid, what a player he’d be for two seasons […] you’d take him all day long.”

“They haven't got a Modric!” ???

“He’s as fit as a fiddle and will run the game. They lack players that can keep the ball.”

Tottenham set to approach Daniel Levy’s ‘preferred choice’ for manager who has been admired for a decade

Jason Pettigrove — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 08:50:42 +0000

After the way in which the Antonio Conte era ended at Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy has to get things exactly right in terms of his next managerial appointment, and it could be that he hires someone who was once his ‘preferred choice’ for the role.

Given the high-profile nature of the position at White Hart Lane, only a select few managers would appear to be right for the position, and to that end it would be understandable for the likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino to be approached.

Former manager, Pochettino, might not be available for long, however, as The Times report the interest from Real Madrid in potentially acquiring his services.

There’s also the notion that you should ‘never go back’ to a previous club, arguably because it’s harder to replicate what may have gone before.

Perhaps with that in mind, according to Football Insider, Levy may be prepared to approach Brendan Rodgers, recently relieved of his duties by Leicester City.

Brendan Rodgers

The outlet note a source as suggesting that Rodgers was Levy’s ‘preferred choice’ of manager when he was going to sack Harry Redknapp, only for Rodgers to take the Liverpool job.

Furthermore, Levy has apparently admired Rodgers since his Swansea days, and given that he’s now free to go where he wishes with no compensation payment to be made, the former Foxes boss is therefore an attractive proposition.

Not to mention his experience at the top level in the Premier League and his exciting way of playing football.

He certainly ticks all the right boxes for the north Londoners and time will tell if he ends up being the man to take the reins.

“When someone asks you, it’s hard to say no” – Harry Redknapp on a possible return to management

Luka Foley — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 18:51:09 +0000

Harry Redknapp has admitted he could return to football management if Tottenham ask him to replace Antonio Conte before the end of the season.

Despite sitting 4th in the Premier League, the mood around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is at an all-time low, especially after Conte’s scathing comments about the team following his side’s 3-3 draw with Southampton on Saturday.

Fabrizio Romano reported yesterday that discussions were taking place at Tottenham to relieve Conte of his duties at Tottenham and Redknapp has come out to say that he wouldn’t be opposed to returning to the Lilywhites dugout.

The 76-year old retired from management in 2017 but has told Talksport that he could make a comeback.

“If someone asks you, I think it would be hard to say no, I’ll be truthful. When you love it, you do find it hard to say no.

Redknapp managed Tottenham from 2008 to 2012.

“It’s not the money, it’s the challenge, you love it, the buzz of it, winning a game is a fantastic feeling. It’s hard to say no.”

This isn’t the first instance of Redknapp hinting at a comeback, with the former Spurs boss saying he may come out of retirement amid the news of Jesse Marsch’s sacking at Leeds back in February.

“Looked very low” – Former Tottenham boss believes Kane will now be having doubts about his future

Darren Looney — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 06:44:17 +0000

Tottenham were knocked out of the FA Cup on Wednesday night by Sheffield United and former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp believes Harry Kane will now be having doubts over his future at the North London club.

The striker is out of contract with the club in 2024 and if Spurs want to bring in good money for the England star then this summer would be the best time to sell the 29-year-old.

Kane has dreamed about delivering a trophy to Tottenham fans but that seemed to slip away on Wednesday as a Champions League victory this season is very unlikely.

If the striker wants to add medals to his career then a move this summer should be on the cards and former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes the Spurs superstar will now be thinking about leaving the North London club.

Harry Redknapp believes Harry Kane will be thinking about a summer move

“I looked at his face last night as he walked off the pitch and he looked very low,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

“He must have thought, my god, what’s going on here? He’s on the bench, he doesn’t start the game. You’re taking a gamble.

“They should have gone for it last night and Harry should be starting the game surely?

“I fancied Spurs to win the cup this year. I looked at it and thought this could be their year.

“With what’s left in [teams still in the FA Cup], [it was a] great chance. You look at the draw last night. I thought Tottenham would go all the way but it was a poor result.

“But he looked low last night and maybe he’s thinking to himself it looks like I’m never gonna win a trophy here.”

Graeme Souness suggests Leeds who their next manager should be

Saikat Chatterjee — Sat, 18 Feb 2023 11:22:48 +0000

Leeds United recently parted ways with Jesse Marsch as the club’s manager following a series of disappointing results.

The Premier League side have been linked with a number of managers as they continue to search for a quality replacement for the American manager.

Popular pundit and former Premier League player Graeme Souness has now urged Leeds to appoint Harry Redknapp or Sam Allardyce as their next manager.

He believes that the two could prove to be an impressive short-term fix at Elland Road and they could help Leeds beat relegation this season.

“You are looking at Leeds and others down there, considering candidates who’ve not been involved in our game and who will need time to understand its demands,” Souness wrote in his column for the Daily Mail.

“And by the time they get it – if, indeed, they do get it – it could already be too late. So, why not a Harry Redknapp or a Sam Allardyce, even as a short-term fix?

“You need someone who knows the territory, so there are no surprises. I come back to it: there are no new ways of playing our game.”

The Whites are currently 17^th in the league table and they will need to improve their results in the coming weeks if they want to stay in the Premier League next season.

Redknapp and Allardyce are hugely experienced when it comes to managing clubs under pressure and they could make a big impact at Elland Road. A short-term fix until the summer will also allow Leeds more time to search for a long-term solution.

Plenty of top managers prefer taking new jobs before a new season starts as opposed to joining midway. Leeds could have more options at their disposal in the summer.

“I would do it” – Former Premier League manager says he is ready to take on Leeds United job

Mehdi Gokal — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 17:02:59 +0000

According to TalkSport, Harry Redknapp has admitted that he is ready to take the Leeds United job.

Recent reports linked him to the job at Elland Road, and in an appearance on TalkSport’s breakfast show, the former Spurs manager said that he would be willing to take on the job for no wage, with a bonus for helping the team avoid relegation.

However, he did mention that he couldn’t start immediately due to the coinciding of Cheltenham week, which he wouldn’t want to miss.

He said (quotes via MOT):

“I would do it but it coincides with Cheltenham week and I can’t miss Cheltenham. ”

“I really can’t do it, I can’t give that up.

“But if someone asked me to go in, I’d go in with no wage just bonus for keeping them up. That’s the move.”

Harry Redknapp to Leeds?
