Harry Redknapp dismisses exit talk

Harry Redknapp has denied speculation that he has resigned as Tottenham manager, describing the rumours as “scandalous”.

Redknapp was moved to discredit a wave of speculation last night in which it was claimed he had quit with a year still to run on his Spurs contract.

Negotiations over a new deal have stalled since the start of the year when the 65-year-old was linked with the then vacant England manager’s job.

In the past week Redknapp has made it known he would be uncomfortable heading into the new season without a longer deal while also defending his relationship with chairman Daniel Levy.

And the former Portsmouth manager was again forced on the back foot yesterday as he denied more exit rumours, telling ESPN: “No, I haven’t resigned, and I have no idea why it is being suggested that I have resigned. This is an outrage, an absolute liberty for people to be putting around this kind of rumour on the internet.

“It is not true, there is not a chance I will resign. Why should I? I have a year left on my contract.”
