PFA chief Taylor: QPR boss Redknapp mischievous over Spurs England claims

PFA chief Gordon Taylor is critical of QPR boss Harry Redknapp over claims his former Tottenham players were keen to duck England commitments.

Redknapp's claim that English players asked him to pull them out of national games while he was Tottenham manager have added to the blame games being played in the wake of the Three Lions' World Cup exit.

"I know Harry, I admire Harry, and I don't know in what context he's said it, I'm perfectly happy to talk to him about it, he's a football man and it may have come from one particular player for some special reason," he told Sky Sports News.

"It's a little bit mischievous to throw out grenades like that at the end of a World Cup disappointment. I think we all have to get focused and move on."
