Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he is loving his time away from the game.

In his column for The Sun, Redknapp wrote: "It does not seem like five minutes ago that the season ended and yesterday I was in my back garden feeding the birds and enjoying a break.

"I love football, it is in my blood. But I would be lying if I said I am missing it just now.

"Instead of getting up at 5.30am to drive to Tottenham's training ground, I can stay in bed a bit longer.

"Every day it feels like I have won the Pools."
