Portsmouth boss Redknapp: We'll take UEFA Cup seriously

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp says he'll take the UEFA Cup seriously next season if they qualify for the competition.

Redknapp said: "I just want to win the FA Cup. Whether or not we got Europe for winning it, I wouldn't care.

"I haven't thought yet how we could cope with the UEFA Cup - playing Sunday, Thursday, Sunday for much of next season. Our squad is good but not overloaded with numbers.

"Let's be honest, (English) teams who have got into the UEFA Cup this year have wanted to get out of it.

"We all want to do it, sure because it is a feather in the cap, but I watched West Ham play in it last season against Palermo, a terrific side who beat them but then played 11 reserves in a later round and went out."
