Why All The Clever Money On Sacking?

Redknapp, who was first on Mike Ashley's list to replace Sam Allardyce (but turned us down),  dismissed any notion that he was about to leave Tottenham after odds tumbled on him becoming the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season.

Bookmakers slashed odds on Redknapp leaving White Hart Lane from 50-1 to evens at one point despite him having led Tottenham to their best start for 50 years.

Redknapp: "I'm definitely not leaving. It's absolute nonsense. Absolute rubbish.

"I couldn't be happier than I am here. There's not a chance of that happening. I love it here and I have no intention of leaving. It couldn't have gone better for me."
