Harry Speaks

'We finished fourth and were unlucky at the end, but I think the same outcome would have happened,' Redknapp told BBC Radio Five Live.
'Even if we had finished fourth, the chairman would have gone down the same road. But that is football.
'I had four great years at Spurs. All you can do is leave the club in a better state than you found it and I did that, for sure.'

Redknapp is determined to secure a new managerial position, despite the sacking.

'I feel great, I am ready. Football keeps me going, that is what I will miss. But I am not one for sitting at home,' Redknapp explained.

'I'm not coming to the end, I feel fit as a fiddle.'

Where a new role would emerge remains to be seen. The only vacant post in the Premier League right now is at Swansea and it is unlikely Redknapp would be tempted by the role.
Should David Moyes be offered the Tottenham job, Redknapp may emerge as a contender for a unique swap.
However, he may feel it is the right time to take a lucrative post abroad - particularly in the Middle East.
The are a number of rich sides in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar that would be interested in offering Redknapp a job.

Redknapp explained his sacking was not finance related, instead it was based on the club's desire for a change.
'It was nothing to do with contracts or me asking for anything extra at all,' he said.
'The club just decided they wanted to have a change. They own the club, they can do what they want, so that is OK.'
He added: 'I kept my counsel about that all through. It had no effect, it was just a decision the chairman decided he wanted to make. That is their right to do that.'

On his departure from White Hart Lane, Redknapp said: ‘I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Spurs and am proud of my achievements.
‘I have had a fantastic four years with the club, at times the football has been breathtaking.
Revolving door: Who's next in for White Hart Lane?
‘I am sad to be leaving but wish to thank the players, staff and fans for their terrific support during my time there.’
Redknapp was pleased to leave the fans with some happy memories from his tenure, even if he did not pick up any silverware.

'People who support Tottenham had lots to smile about, they were proud and that was important to me. I will never forget the fans,' insisted the sacked manager.

Chairman Daniel Levy said: ‘This is not a decision the board and I have taken lightly. Harry arrived at the club at a time when his experience and approach was exactly what was needed.
‘This decision in no way detracts from the excellent work Harry has done during his time with the club and I should like to thank him for his achievements and contribution. Harry will always be welcome at the Lane.’

I reckon that one of the managers at Euro 2012 may have a say in who manages us next season

By all accounts we have NOT got a replacement.
Makes real sense that
====================

I think it does make sense.

DL had planned to give harry another chance, but his behaviour in negotiating the contract made DL decide that a) he couldnt work with him b) he couldnt be trusted with the team for another season. He therefore had no choice but to let him go even though he had not planned to and therefore didnt have anyone lined up.
