King: Spurs players want Redknapp to stay

Ledley King - Tottenham Hotspur Football News

Ledley King hopes Harry Redknapp snubs England and remains in charge at Spurs.

The Tottenham skipper has praised Redknapp for the work he has done since taking up the reigns at White Hart Lane but wants the gaffer to remain at the club.

Ledders has urged for focus until the end of the season and rightly so – we don’t want this speculation to derail our hopes of a title push or finishing in the Champions League spots.

There is no doubt in my mind that Harry will move onto take up the England position in the summer – but it would be a disaster if we were to lose our manager and not be comforted by the fact that he has lead us once again into the Champions League.

King told the press when asked about Redknapp’s future: “As a group of players we love him and hopefully he will stay.

“This sort of speculation always happens in football, but we would love to keep him.

“Harry has brought the club on massively. We were bottom of the league when he first came in and the results picked up immediately.

“Straight away he showed his people skills, his ability to lift players even when their confidence was low.

“He has gone from strength to strength, brought in some good players, experienced players who know what it takes. It has been really good.”

“We need to keep our focus until the end of the season. What will happen in the summer will happen,” he added.

“I am pretty sure the gaffer will be here until then.”
