Redknapp open to short-term role

Harry Redknapp says it would be unfair to leave Tottenham to become England manager, but he is open to taking over in a caretaker role.
The 64-year-old Tottenham manager is firm favourite to take the reins as England manager after the shock resignation of Fabio Capello last week.
While Redknapp has played down talk of him taking the job on a permanent basis, he has suggested that a role as temporary manager at Euro 2012 is a possibility.
"Part-time? In the short term I think it's possible for the European Championships," Redknapp told Abu Dhabi Sports. "But I think in the long-term it's not possible to manage a club team and manage a national team."
"It's difficult enough to manage in the Premier League without having to worry about managing the England team as well."
"You want to be watching England players play, you want to be watching the opposition."
"Maybe for the Euros, it's not such a problem but once the Euros are finished and the new season starts in England, the manager has to be a Premier League manager. To do the two jobs, it would be impossible."
Redknapp was quick to reiterate that he is enjoying his time at White Hart Lane and that his immediate concern is to build Tottenham's recent successes in the Premier League, where they currently sit comfortably in third place.
"I have a good job and I work with good people and I have a good team. The fans have been fantastic to me." Redknapp added.

"Just to walk away now, when we're in such a good position, it wouldn't be fair, it wouldn't be fair on Tottenham. I have to really keep focusing on Tottenham."
