Redknapp: People at top didn't like me

Harry Redknapp refuses to be downbeat after being sacked by Tottenham in "strange, unexpected circumstances".

Spurs confirmed the 65-year-old's departure in the early hours of Thursday morning and while the former Portsmouth boss admits he wishes he could have stayed, he believes the writing was on the wall as he was disliked by the Tottenham hierarchy.

He told The Sun: "I won't slit my throat over it. I want to get on with my life instead of moping about getting the sack.

"I loved every minute of my time at Spurs and I've no regrets whatsoever. I don't feel bitter, nor regretful, there's no confusion or anger."
