Tottenham's Redknapp praises O'Neill on Sunderland job

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill has received praise from Tottenham's Harry Redknapp for the job he has done at the club since taking over.

The Northern Irishman took the reins from Steve Bruce in December and swiftly led the Black Cats away from the relegation zone and into the top half of the able prompting kind words from this weekend's opposing manager.

"Martin has come in, and as Martin always does he has got them up and going straight away and has done a great job there," Redknapp said ahead of the clash between the two sides at the Stadium of Light tomorrow. "They are a difficult team to play against.

"He is full of enthusiasm still and it's good to see him back in management again. He is a great character and a top manager.

"They had a great result drawing (3-3) at Manchester City last weekend and it will be a difficult game but we have to keep going."
