Redknapp pledges future to Spurs
Soccer Betting Lines
07/13/2010 -
London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Harry Redknapp has committed his long-term
future to Tottenham Hotspur by penning a new contract that will keep him at
White Hart Lane until the end of the 2012-13 campaign.
The veteran former Bournemouth, West Ham United, Portsmouth and Southampton
boss replaced Juande Ramos as manager in October 2008 when the club were in
danger of being relegated.
He successfully guided Spurs into mid-table that season before presiding over
a fourth-placed finish in the Premier League last term.
A brief statement on the club's official website read: "The club is delighted
to announce that we have extended the contract of manager, Harry Redknapp,
until 2013.
"Harry guided the side to fourth place in his first full season with the club,
our highest league finish since the Premier League's inception, with the
prospect of competing in the Champions League for the first time this coming
campaign.
"The achievement earned him the Barclay's Premier League Manager of the Season
award."
At the weekend it was reported that the 63-year-old had turned down the chance
to manage Dubai side Al Ahli in order to stay with Spurs.
Redknapp's side face a two-legged play-off next month as they attempt to win
through to the lucrative group stage of the Champions League.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
