Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has opened up on a phone call from former Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, amidst the club’s dismal form. Tottenham are enduring a sequence of seven matches without victory across all competitions.

The results in the Premier League mean that relegation at the end of the season is a genuine prospect. Spurs are in 16th position, merely one point above the relegation zone, ahead of the weekend’s clash against Liverpool.

The match concluded in a 5-2 thrashing for Tottenham, heaping additional pressure on Tudor, who has suffered defeat in all four of his fixtures since succeeding Thomas Frank. Former Spurs players Ryan Mason and Robbie Keane have been cited as potential successors should the club opt to implement another change. Another name to emerge is Redknapp.

Speaking on TalkSPORT last week, the former Tottenham manager disclosed: “I got a phone call last week from Daniel, funnily enough. “I think I spoke to him once since I left all that time ago, and I was in the car last week, and suddenly the phone goes, it’s Daniel Levy.

“I thought ‘that’s strange’ and I was on the phone to him for about half hour, chatting to him, and he was explaining what happened to him, and how he got marched out of there, which was really strange.”

He went on to say: “And he did say to me ‘If I was there now, and I’m not just saying it, I would bring you back in until the end of the season, Harry’ – so it would have been interesting.”

Redknapp enjoyed a highly successful tenure at Spurs between 2008 and 2012. Of his 198 matches at the helm, he secured 98 victories, drew 48 and suffered 52 defeats, guiding the club to Champions League qualification.

Redknapp has previously made clear his willingness to return to the club. Speaking at the Cheltenham Festival this week, he said: “I’ve been asked a few times if I’d go back to Spurs and it’s probably not going to happen, is it?”.

“Would I go back? Of course I would, but I doubt very much it’s going to happen.”
