Tottenham will not let Redknapp walk into England job

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy says the Football Association (FA) will have to think twice before luring Harry Redknapp into the manager's job.

The Spurs boss has been widely tipped to succeed Fabio Capello when the Italian tactician's tenure ends after the Euro2012 Championships but Levy says that Redknapp's current contract might make things a bit more difficult than the FA expects.

"Harry's on a long-term contract. If and when the FA were to contact us we would have to deal with it accordingly," Levy said.

"I understand that sentiment, but the reality is that is probably two years away before there will actually be a change.

"As far as I'm concerned I'm sure Harry wants to continue managing Tottenham and we are delighted to have him."
