Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is battling Setanta TV for coaching targets Tim Sherwood and Les Ferdinand.
The new Spurs boss wants to tap into their experience, as well as that of Teddy Sheringham, who is another Redknapp target, says the Mirror.
But Sherwood and Ferdinand have been hits as football pundits since being recruited by Setanta in July last year and the TV channel does not want to let them go.
