Harry Redknapp: Unfair to leave Tottenham Hotspur for England

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has claimed that it would be "unfair" to leave White Hart Lane due to their current position in the Premier League.

The 64-year-old has become the overwhelming favourite to succeed Fabio Capello, who resigned from his post last week.

"I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't the popular choice," Redknapp told Abu Dhabi Sports. "I know I am, it's been everywhere, in every paper every day.

"But it's not an easy one. I have a good job and I work with good people and I have a good team. The fans have been fantastic to me.

"Just to walk away now, when we're in such a good position, it wouldn't be fair, it wouldn't be fair on Tottenham. I have to really keep focusing on Tottenham."

The North London side face Stevenage in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend.
