Harry Redknapp's family wary of England job

Redknapp family wary of England job

Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp fears that the England job may pile too much stress onto his father.

Harry Redknapp is the unanimous favourite to land the Three Lions job ahead of Euro 2012, although the FA have confirmed that no appointment will be made until the end of the Premier League season.

The 65-year-old has said that he is flattered by the interest, but son Jamie has been voicing his concerns over the potential move, according to The Mirror.

Pressure, high expectation levels and the commute north to England's new training base in Burton-on-Trent are said to be among the worries of Redknapp junior.

It was reported yesterday that Spurs have offered Redknapp a new contract and a £50m transfer kitty to stay at White Hart Lane.
