Michael Dawson sings Harry Redknapp's praises

14 February 2012
Michael Dawson believes it is plain to see why Tottenham fans are so desperate for Harry Redknapp to snub the England job and remain at White Hart Lane.
Redknapp is the overwhelming favourite to replace Fabio Capello as England boss after the Italian's shock resignation last week.
Redknapp gave the perfect audition for the post on Saturday evening when his team crushed Newcastle with a 5-0 win that came amid a backdrop of emotional pleas from the Spurs fans begging the 64-year-old to stay.
Dawson has watched from close quarters how the
former Portsmouth boss has transformed the club from relegation candidates to title contenders within just over three years - and for that reason he understands why the club's supporters want their manager to stay put.
"I think they realise what he has done since he came in," Dawson said.
"We were in a bad situation, we were in a bad position in the league table, and the players - a lot of whom are here now - were playing below par.
"He has lifted everyone, so of course the fans are going to be happy when we are putting on performances like we did on Saturday and when they see where we are in the league table."
