Tottenham boss Redknapp: Good luck to Roy, he deserves it

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has shrugged off losing the England job to West Bromwich Albion's Roy Hodgson.

Despite being a popular choice for the job among the fans, Redknapp was not even interviewed or approached about the job but he said it did not concern him.

Redknapp, speaking after Spurs' 4-1 Premier League win at Bolton, said: "I didn't wake up on Monday morning and think, 'What has happened to my life, I'm not the England manager'.

"It has happened. That is how I am. If it would have happened... it saved me making a decision in all honesty. I am very happy at Tottenham.

"I wish Roy Hodgson all the very best, I really do. I am fed up with hearing my name mentioned. I am history with that job.

"It's Roy's job, good luck to him, he deserves it. I just hope he makes a good job of it."
