Redknapp urges board to keep Modric promise

Harry Redknapp says Daniel Levy has "got to stand by" his statement that the club are not prepared to sell Luka Modric at any price.

Speaking to radio station TalkSport, Redknapp suggested that any U-turn over the sale of the Croatian could plunge us into mid-table mediocrity - an exaggeration maybe, but Redknapp has now made his feelings well clear.

The gaffer said: "“It’s a happy thing to have a player like Luka Modric, who has suddenly turned into a £50million, £40million player and everyone wants him.

“We’re lucky we’ve got him and we aren’t selling him, that’s what the chairman says and that’s good enough for me.

“If we sell Luka Modric where are we going as a football club? We’ll have to accept then that we’re a middle of the table team that will finish in the top-half next season and really that’s not what the chairman wants, it’s not what I want. It’s not, most importantly, what the fans want.
