Harry Redknapp: Admitted the performance against Stevenage would not have impressed the onlooking David Bernstein

Sky Bet

Harry Redknapp joked Tottenham's draw with Stevenage on Sunday will not have helped his chances of becoming the new England manager.

High-flying Tottenham were held to a surprise goalless draw by League One Stevenage during their FA Cup fifth round clash at Broadhall Way.

Redknapp is the overwhelming favourite to replace Fabio Capello as England boss but, with Football Association chairman David Bernstein in the crowd at Stevenage to watch the game, the Spurs boss conceded the performance would not have enhanced his claims for the England job.

"I bet he was impressed with the football I served up, yeah," admitted Redknapp.

"He was probably thinking - 'who is this geezer?!'"
