da roleta: Bolton chairman and FA board member Phil Gartside has apologised to Tottenham after being quoted as backing Harry Redknapp for the vacant England job.
The Three Lions have been without a manager after Fabio Capello walked away from the post earlier in the year, with the White Hart Lane supremo the favourite and frontrunner to lead the nation to Euro 2012.
Gartside praised Redknapp’s track record at Tottenham and called him an outstanding candidate for the role in an interview with the BBC last week.
Meanwhile, Spurs’ form has dipped whilst the speculation has been ongoing over their manager; Gartside admits he has apologised to Daniel Levy over the comments.
“I’ve been quoted out of context and had an apology from the BBC and have apologised to Daniel. I was giving my personal view of how I rate Harry,” he confirmed to Mirror Football.
As yet there has been no further news on the potential next England boss, but a decision and action is expected in coming weeks.
