Milan Mandaric has called on Portsmouth's new owners to move for Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.

The former Pompey chairman told The News: "Harry Redknapp is a fantastic manager. He knows and understands the game far better than most. He's a top manager and the right manager for Portsmouth. I rate him so highly.

"Managing people is his best quality. He's not perfect and sometimes he would drive me crazy, but that quality always prevails. When we were struggling I brought him back to the club.

"It wasn't a popular decision in all areas, but Portsmouth have the best supporters and they forgave him because they could. It was the best move for the club. Harry ate his humble pie and the rest is history."
