Harry getting new contract

[basskadet]

Daniel Levy is planning to sit down with 'Arry after the weekend & draw out a new contract that will keep him at Spurs for the long-term. I say well earned 'Arry, time to collect your reward.

His current deal will expire in 1 year from now so it is essential that we tie him down for the foreseeable future ASAP & I just hope that he is here to enjoy many more successes in the future!

COME ON YOU SPURS!

Harry to get new contract

[spurs2rise]

Good to hear.

At times I groan at his lack of tactics, but no doubt he has been very important for this club. Maybe its what we always needed - not the best tactically in the world, but someone who can Tottenham what we have lacked over the last few years - a team.

Harry: I’m at Spurs for life

JUST 18 months ago I took over a club who were bottom of the Premier League and were among the bookies favourites for the drop.
After taking Tottenham into the Champions League for the first time in umpteen years, those 18 months have taught me one thing:

I want to stay at White Hart Lane for the rest of my career. As long as Tottenham want me this is where I will be.

I have no desire to manage any other club, no temptation to go any where else and no thought that the grass might be greener on the other side.

Spurs are a fantastic club who gave me the chance to prove what I am capable of and I what we've achieved this season underlines that every one is pulling in the same direction.

My only brief when I came here was to save Tottenham from relegation, the chairman Daniel didn't talk of Europe just survival in the Prem and the team delivered for him in a pretty spectacular way by finishing eighth to completely turn the campaign around.

I've done the round of clubs and done the rounds of different divisions and can honestly say I've been lucky enough to have had a terrific time where ever I have been.

But nothing gives me the same sense of satisfaction I get from being in charge at White Hart Lane. Qualifying for the Champions League is without doubt the greatest thing I've achieved in my career.

But I can tell you one thing, my ambition, the club's ambition, the staff's ambition and importantly the ambition of the players doesn't end with qualification.

Next season Tottenham will look to improve again and the nucleus of the squad will be the players who are already here and the young kids who are coming through.

What has especially pleased me is the amount of character the squad have shown when I'm sure other teams would have been crushed.

When Tottenham lost to one of my former clubs Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi final at Wembley the spirit of most teams would have disappeared.

But somehow we managed to all pick ourselves up and the result has been a fantastic run of nine wins from 11 games that have got us into the CL.




Our heads might be in the clouds for a few days but I can tell you all our feet are on the ground and the day after the night before at Eastlands I was in charge of an amateur team.

My son Jamie was in charge of the opposition in a game at White Hart Lane. A very charitable businessman paid for the occasion with his hard earned cash as part of raising money for young kids to provide something called Music Therapy.

I swear that when I subbed one of the lads to give someone else a go, he walked past me muttering 'You don't know what you're doing!'

I'd gone from managing a talented professional team in front of 50,000 in one of the biggest games of the season to being boss of a side who probably got just as much enjoyment as my players the night before.

I enjoyed bossing the amateurs, ordinary working blokes who had a great time, as much as I do looking after Spurs and it's things like that, that keep everything in perspective.


Knockabouts like help bring a sense of normality or ordinary ness if you like, it can help stop small problems become big problems...or should it be wee problems.

That's exactly what we had up at Eastlands on Wednesday when Tom Huddlestone and some of the others had to do a drugs test.

The poor lad had run so much during the game that he had trouble having a pee and we were waiting on the coach for him for over an hour before Tom eventually appeared and we could drive off.

While we waited for Tom's waterworks to...well...er work, I got a text message from Sir Alex Ferguson. It was something simple like 'Well done and congratulations' Lots of managers I have got to know over the years also sent texts and it was really heart warming.

One thing Sir Alex knows about is how international competitions can affect your club football and that is one thing I'll have to be careful of next season.

If as I expect, England get to the final, it will mean an awful lot of my players won't have much time for family holidays this summer.

The World Cup final is on July 11 and just four days after that Spurs take off on a pre-season tour of America.

And in the first week of the season proper, Tottenham play in the qualifying round of the Champions League.

Who said, football wasn't an all year round game? Is anyone at White Hart Lane complaining about the schedule? No.

[Luke0405]

Come on Levy through bags of money at the man to keep him, Arry's old skool though money means nothing compared to football and achievements. I have no doubt he'll resign.

Tottenham Hotspur Boss Harry Redknapp Rages At Reports Of £2 Million Champions League Qualification Bonus - Goal.com

Strangely, 'Arry actually denied any reports that he would be getting any bonuses or a new contract with better wages when speaking to reporters today.

[woody]

get him signed for the next few years before the england job comes calling!

get contracts etc sorted out now so we can push onto bringing players in over the summer

[Spurs4life93]

Harry deserves a new contract.

And these quotes made me realise how much he loves it here:

I want to stay at White Hart Lane for the rest of my career. As long as Tottenham want me this is where I will be.
'I have no desire to manage any other club, no temptation to go any where else and no thought that the grass might be greener on the other side.
'Spurs are a fantastic club who gave me the chance to prove what I am capable of and I what we've achieved this season underlines that everyone is pulling in the same direction.

'Qualifying for the Champions League is without doubt the greatest thing I've achieved in my career.'
