No one points out the obvious, which is there is simply no incentive for Levy to give Harry a new contract. Harry has virtually no other realisitic career options other than Spurs, so why offer him a longer deal? Harry would clearly like a longer contract, but unless he resigns I doubt he'll be fired. But it certainly doesn't mean there is this huge rift between them that has been reported by largelly anti Harry ITK's for years.

That actually makes so much sense.
Why give a 60+  manager a new contract or indeed go on a major spending spree with said manager when you can afford to wait it out a year and see what options are available.
Contrary to popular belief Spurs have not mortgaged their future on being in the CL , they have not gone down the Leeds route , and Levy has shown that he is a canny operator when it comes to selling players while they retain a high value , so it makes no sense for him to tie down Redknapp on a long term deal.

Infact if I was a business man I would look at Harry as an asset whose value is receeding and as such short of winning the league or coming close to it , his negotiating position is only going to get weaker.
Were he a man of many options , he would not be crying to the media about his lack of contract.

Wouldn't be surprised if this happens. Levy has to be furious over the fact they blew a sizeable cushion between themselves and other teams looking for 4th once Redknapp was linked with the England job.  And I think if he does get sacked, he might end up just going into punditry, as I can't see anyone else taking him on. The question is, had Chelsea not won the CL, would Levy still be looking to sack him?

Yeah that awful run they went on really did cost them. There's no way Spurs should have finished below Arsenal. They cost themselves the CL place, not Chelsea.

Levy has every right to be livid at that Arsenal comeback game and the subsequent run Spurs went on. They phoned it in to a large extent from that point on and it cost them big time. Redknapp did little to arrest the slide.

Agree that this could well be the end of his top flight management career if he goes. Can see him either going abroad for a paycheque or sitting in a studio. He's not getting any younger and he had that health scare last year too.

I wont be sad to see him go. Never been a fan.

Spurs have hit a glass ceiling somewhat.it's really difficult to make that final push now unless your Chelsea or city.Harry has taken them to the highest level he can.last time they were in this position it went wrong with commolli and juande.

If they get a high level continental coach it will be interesting,they will have to adapt a bit but their players easily have the ability to do it.

Think he'll go to the likes of Al hilal and such for that one big pay day. He pretty much admitted to having offers from them, though he does like to bullshit doesn't he?

Don't buy this whole england crap affecting tottenham, for me it was the refusal to rotate the squad and basically pull a martin o'neil and just run his starting 11 in to the ground then blame bullshit such as luck.

Yep. Im sure Redknapp already knows Dubai like the back of his hand. Can see him knocking about in the sun for a year or two in semi-retirement.

Dont buy the England thing either. His teams struggle at the same point every season through a lack of rotation and lovable 'Arry's refusal to actually condition them and maintain their fitness levels.

Spurs was always a stepping stone on the way to the big one for Redknapp. Now that ship's sailed can believe his priorities have changed.

Everyday Spurs ITKs are posting about the war between Levy and Harry, to the point that most believe it, citing the "no smoke without firs" argument. But the ITK info beggars belief if you look at it objectively. They are as bad, if not worse than the gutter press for talking absolute sensationalit bullshit, only they carry much more weight and a far more trusted amonsgt the fanbase.

No one points out the obvious, which is there is simply no incentive for Levy to give Harry a new contract. Harry has virtually no other realisitic career options other than Spurs, so why offer him a longer deal? Harry would clearly like a longer contract, but unless he resigns I doubt he'll be fired. But it certainly doesn't mean there is this huge rift between them that has been reported by largelly anti Harry ITK's for years. The reasons they claim for this apparent rift are so illogical. The ITKS have managed to turn a working relationship into a soap opera style marriage break down. There is no reason to suggest they've ever been close enough to have a falling out and the reasons put forward for their disagreements regarding the club are all totally absurd. One of our most trusted ITKs (who is well known to hate HArry) has even claimed that Levy is our DofF and Harry has little to do with signings. Alot of people actually believe this and see it as a reason for the "clash" between Harry and Levy. One even tried to claim Levy was furious Harry mentioned his mother had died the other night! Yet anyone who saw Harry say it would know this to be utter bullshit. Yet our fans truely believe it.

Not sure you have the usual ITK stuff with Redknapp though.  The man plays everything out in the press anyway, so there isn't usually much speculation to be had. 

Look at last night for instance, Twitter was awash with rumour that Redknapp had resigned, so what does he do?  He does what any manager does when there is idle gossip on a social networking site - he ignores it...  Doesn't he??

Oh no, this is Harry we are talking about here... Harry releases a media statement!! 
Why does he need to speak out every 5 minutes based on what he claims is rumour and speculation?

Anyway, I won't believe Redknapp has gone until Dave Whelan phones Sky Sports News and announces it!

Personally, I think he has done a terrific job at Spurs. Brought in some quality players, helped them become even better players and turned Spurs into a top 4 side.

Spurs fans should be careful what they wish for.

Strange situation. He is very unlikeable but I feel he's done a decent job. It seems alot of Spurs fans aren't fussed if he goes.
