Harry Redknapp rules out return to Portsmouth and pledges future to Tottenham
Published 22:45 02/10/09 By Darren Lewis
Harry Redknapp has pledged his loyalty to Spurs after the odds on him leaving the club were slashed yesterday.
Bookmakers yesterday claimed to have taken a flood of money on the White Hart Lane chief becoming the first Premier League manager to leave his job as the odds dropped from 50-1 down to Evens.
The 'gamble' came after claims that Redknapp is ready to launch a rescue bid to save his ailing former club Portsmouth.
It also followed false internet rumours claiming that he had been arrested.
Redknapp - who led the south coast club to FA Cup Final glory last year - said: "It’s just a rumour, am I going back to Portsmouth? It’s just nonsense, I’m not leaving Tottenham. Of course I’m not leaving Tottenham.
“The chairman [Daniel Levy] doesn’t want me to leave either, that’s for sure. Things have gone fantastic here. And there are no forces from outside either, absolutely not.
"If I want to leave, I just leave and go. I walk in one day and say I'm off. I am a bit like that if I am upset. But I have no intention of doing that here.
"I get on very well with the chairman. He has been good as gold. I love it here. I have created a great atmosphere here at the training ground and people have a smile on their face, more than they have ever done.
“Basically someone, somewhere has started a rumour. Someone has rung a bookmakers and tried to have a bet. I don’t think it’s jealousy; I think someone, somewhere has heard a silly rumour that Harry’s not happy, but I don’t really know.
“It’s just such a silly rumour. All managers have had rumours at different times about leaving. Or maybe a bookmaker is trying to get some publicity.
“Someone rung up the other day and said I was getting up a group of investors to buy Portsmouth, I told them: 'I don't know what you’re talking about.' But that’s the type of rumour that happens. People saying: ‘Oh, Harry’s got involved with Michael Tabor or somebody’.
“I said it was absolute rubbish, Michael’s not buying Portsmouth and I’m not going anywhere. A couple of mates have rung me up and asked me what’s going on. They’re obviously on Twitter or whatever it is.
"I can't work the computer so don't see the silly things. But this whole thing has been a load of nonsense. Me or my wife, we live in the old world. I am glad that I don't see that stuff.
"It is nonsense. It is a load of old rubbish and a I've had a couple of calls from friends asking what is happening. 'Nothing' I've said."
Redknapp takes his Spurs side to Bolton this afternoon having been beaten his seven league games so far by only Chelsea and Manchester United so far this season.
He believes the bookmakers who say they have taken an avalanche of cash on his future are over-egging the situation.
He said: "You see it all the time. When people talk about you being able to have a bet on this and that.
"You call up and try and get a £50 bet on the next manager to go - they will let you have £20. So if someone has rung up and wants £50 on me, as they have heard some rumour, then the bookies make a publicity thing of it and its free publicity for William Hill."
Redknapp has also admitted he could be powerless to prevent striker Roman Pavlyuchenko leaving the club after the former Spartak Moscow marksman insisted he would be off if he does not get nore game time.
Big Pav is out of today's squad for Bolton and Redknapp added: "It is difficult because Crouch, Defoe, Keane, they're all playing well. And Roman had an injury. I do understand where he is coming from. He works hard, is a fantastic player but I can't do anything about it.
"It's been hard leaving Crouchy out, let alone getting Pav in the team. He's got a massive game for Russia. Language isn't an issue, he's a good lad, a smashing person."

Jesus i have been sat at home all week and this place has been reletively quiet......go away for one day and our manager is about to quit/be sacked! Crazy stuff....
Sounds like bollocks but with this club you never quite know.....
I could be making this up completely but when Arry first joined wasn't there some rumour/statement that it was in his contract that if the transfer scandal (at Pompey) ever blew up he would walk?

Where 'Arry is concerned there frequently is smoke without and fire without smoke.
:wink:
I posted it earlier in the thread. I spoke with a close business contact late this afternoon who I know for certain is very friendly with a member of the board.
He told me (so second hand) that there was a very serious issue with Harry and that the club were taking legal advice re their position. He also told me that there was a fair chance that Harry could be gone on Monday.
Make of it what you will, I certainly don't know what to. However I'm pretty certain that something has happened in the last 24 hours and that all of the rumours are not completely unfounded.

Without meaning any disrespect to you or your contact, but third-hand information is not the best source of information.
Here's a chain of events for you
Harry has an argument with a non-playing or coaching member of staff;
The staff member complains to their superior
The superior reports to a board member that there was a major problem between Harry and a staff member and Harry wants him out by Monday.
The board member then mentions to his friend that something's going to happen at the club on Monday involving Harry
Your friend, remembering the police questioning Harry some time ago and puts two and two together and comes up with seven, and then he tells you.
Not that that's what's happened, mind you. Just an example of how the innocuous can turn into headline news. It's Chinese whispers, mate. It's like the new Guiness advert where the toast keeps changing. Redknapp himself has said he's going nowhere. If there was a potential problem at the club involving him, he would have been asked by the club to say something unequivocal. Or the club could have made an excuse to cancel the press conference. And he would have understood the wisdom of doing so.
Everything that we hear over the next few days has to be taken with a massive bucket of salt and the default position should be that it's bollocks until something tangible emerges. The more rumours appear, the less clear the situation becomes, which then leads to further rumours and so on and so on.
