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.

Many believe Redknapp is the perfect candidate for the role, and Redknapp is flattered by the report.


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


"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."


"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.


"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.


 "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."
