Redknapp’s final season at Tottenham became overshadowed by his own High Court case – he was cleared of tax evasion – and then the expectation that he would succeed Fabio Capello as England manager.
Spurs ultimately finished fourth but only after being in the top three for much of the season. So has anyone ever explained to him why he lost his job?
“No, not really,” said Redknapp. “I know the reason but I don’t want to repeat it. I didn’t go home, lay in bed and turn the lights off. That’s life. There’s far worse things going on. I didn’t have an inkling of it. I was disappointed, obviously. Three months earlier there was talk of a new contract so it was a big surprise. It just came out of the blue.
