The Premier League season ends on May 13, and Euro 2012 starts on June 8.

Harry Redknapp: "It would be easier for everybody (if the FA waited until the end of the season).

"Whoever they go for, they will probably be in a job anyway so it's going to be difficult for them to walk out of their clubs at this stage of the year.

"It wouldn't be fair, whatever happened or whoever was asked.

"I couldn't do anything or go anywhere now.

"This is where I am. I have to concentrate on Tottenham. If I didn't it wouldn't be right for the club.

"We have had a great season, I wouldn't want the players to start thinking, 'What is he doing, is he going, is he staying?'.

"I am here and I have to be until the end of the season, whatever happens.

"I owe it to Tottenham to keep concentrating on the end of the season, because there is so much to play for.

"The job cannot be done part-time - Sir Alex Ferguson had a bad experience of managing Scotland on a part-time basis at the 1986 World Cup following the death of Jock Stein.

"If Sir Alex struggled, it has got to be tough, hasn't it?

"Mind you, it was Scotland, so it is different! But if somebody takes it to the end of the Euros and it does not go well, where do you go then? Back to your club with your tail between your legs, I suppose.

"It's a job that somebody has got to go in and do full time.

"The talk about the England job was going on all that day before the Newcastle game last weekend and they came out and played some fantastic football.

"It is not a distraction, not at all.

"I have just been thinking about Stevenage all week.

"It will be a tough game.

"They will be up for it, but we are a good team as well and if we play as we can we should win, but we know we will have to be at our best to do so."
