Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp insists their form slide has been out of his hands.

Redknapp insists his team's slump has been due to a mixture of bad luck on and off the pitch and is adamant he can bring Champions League football back to White Hart Lane next season.

"We lost people like Michael Dawson and at the start of the season Tom Huddlestone," Redknapp said.

"They're people who are important to the squad.

"We have had a disastrous run, it's like someone has hit you with a sledgehammer, but we've only played bad once really in the league - against Norwich.

"We're positive and it's all systems go from now on.

"We are looking forward to the last four games, we are in a great situation where we can still make Champions League and we are ready to go for it."
