Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has hailed Arsene Wenger from North London rivals Arsenal as a 'great manager' as the two prepare to meet in Sunday's North London derby. Friday marks the 15th anniversary of Wenger's appointment as Arsenal manager, but lately results have left supporters doubting the Frenchman's value.
"You know what it's like in football. You lose a few games and suddenly Arsene Wenger's a poor manager," Redknapp said.
"The man's been a great manager at Arsenal and I am sure he will be for many years to come. God knows what people are saying about him on the radio.
"They have had injuries. That has been the problem. I think the centre-half (Thomas) Vermaelen is top drawer. They have missed him. I think he is a fantastic player."
