Redknapp defends Chelsea owner Abramovich
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp defended the methods of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, who has recently acquired a no nonsense reputation when it comes to his hiring and firing managerial policy.
Tottenham prepare to take on Chelsea in today's early afternoon kick-off, and Redknapp shared his thoughts on Abramovich: "Abramovich is football mad. I've seen the man there, he's not going to accept anything but winning, he loves to win.
"I sat very close to him the other day (against Napoli) and you can see he's not a chairman with no interest in the football.
"He's always there, he doesn't miss a game. Having said that, I don't think he knew who I was."
