‘Arry won’t leave Spurs now

Harry Redknapp has made it clear he will not consider leaving Tottenham for the England job before the end of the season.

The Spurs boss is the frontrunner to take over the reins as Three Lions manager ahead of Euro 2012, after the departure of Fabio Capello.

However, he insists it would be unfair of the Football Association to expect a manager to leave his club at such a crucial stage of their campaign.

“It would be easier for everybody (if the FA waited until the end of the season),” Redknapp said.

“Whoever they go for, they will probably be in a job anyway so it’s going to be difficult for them to walk out of their clubs at this stage of the year.

“It wouldn’t be fair, whatever happened or whoever was asked.”

He added: “I couldn’t do anything or go anywhere now.

“This is where I am. I have to concentrate on Tottenham. If I didn’t it wouldn’t be right for the club.

“We have had a great season, I wouldn’t want the players to start thinking, ‘What is he doing, is he going, is he staying?’.

“I am here and I have to be until the end of the season, whatever happens.

“I owe it to Tottenham to keep concentrating on the end of the season, because there is so much to play for.”
