Former Tottenham manager David Pleat has warned Harry Redknapp he can't do it on his own.

Pleat said: "Tottenham has a great tradition and history that completely eclipses the values and demands of Southampton or Portsmouth, with the greatest respect.

"Harry will be in a greater goldfish bowl there and he will find it a very big job.

"He can't just deal with the first team - this club has a very wider aspect, there are all sorts of commercial areas, there is a high turnover, there is an academy to look after.

"The attention on a Tottenham manager is great and he will need help. It is important he accumulates a good staff around him - what he calls them is the trick.

"Don't call anyone director of football - the press, the media, the supporters do not understand it and will not accept it."
