Harry Redknapp flattered by England talk

Harry Redknapp admits that he is flattered to have been linked with a move into the vacant position as England manager. The Tottenham coach has just finished a high profile court case and on the same day Fabio Capello stepped down from the position.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • Many believe Redknapp is the perfect candidate for the role, and Redknapp is flattered by the report.<br />

    "It is nice that people put me in a position where they think I've got a chance of the job", Redknapp said.<br />

    "What you can get out of Harry would be 11 players playing at their maximum. Harry's a legend. He'll do it. The way he gets teams to perform better than they had done in the past - he's doing it with Tottenham and he definitely did it with Portsmouth - he is a guy who can do things. He ticks pretty much every box."<br />

    "Yes, it's flattering. Other managers have come out and said nice things and I appreciate everybody's support in everything that has happened in my life in the last little spell.<br />

    "I've had great support from everybody and that is important when you go through a situation I've been through you find out who your friends are for sure.<br />

     "It is hard enough managing a league club, let alone your country. It is two very difficult jobs and you have to focus on one job."
