Harry Redknapp has said his departure from
Tottenham Hotspur was nothing to do with
the way he was managing the team.
.
The focus has come back onto Redknapp's
departure from White Hart Lane as he faces
his old club for the first time this weekend,
as manager of QPR.
.
Redknapp was sacked in June 2012 during
the European Championships and a certain
amount of confusion remains given that he
had again guided the club into the top four
and only missed out on the Champions
League as a consequence of Chelsea's
somewhat unexpected victory in the
competition.
.
Aside from a spring slump that effectively
meant Spurs missed out on third place to
rivals Arsenal, it is understood that
Tottenham Hotspur's owner Joe Lewis
favoured a change and the club's hierarchy
wanted a more modern infrastructure -
lending credence to Redknapp's words.
.
"Yeah, it was political," the QPR manager
admitted. "I've got my own feelings about
what happened but it's difficult for me to
say."
