The miracle worker is apparently at it again. For less than a month 'Arry has controlled the reins of struggling Tottenham, and has somehow turned them into overnight world beaters. But, why 'Spurs?
The veteran cockney, who only recently declared 'Pompey 'till i die,' left the South coast club to join the perilously placed London club at the foot of the Premier League, while Portsmouth sat in relative comfort, in the top half of the table. In Harry's words, he had joined a 'Big club,' but surely the struggle to keep them afloat would be too big? Obviously not...
Although his credentials are good, his CV is certainly not faultless, (as many a Southampton fan would tell you) but adding 10 points to the 2 amassed by the rejected Ramos, Harry has proved to the world he is still in his element as their 'Great Escape' looks set, just months after taking Portsmouth to FA cup glory, and European Qualification.
In the future, the boss will probably be looked on as a Fratton legend, after taking them from a relegation threatened Championship side to an established Premiership force. He has also written himself into Bournemouth folklore after their famous 2-0 cup victory over Manchester United. So what can Tottenham offer Redknapp?
After missing out on the England job, 'Spurs offers 'Houdini' one final encore before his retirement, in conjunction with his largest pay packet to date. (Surely not a motive for the scandal haunted millionaire?) He also has the opportunity to play with funds he's never before in his lengthy career, alongside an already impressive squad.
By the end of the season, don't be surprised to see Tottenham in the top half of the table. However, it's not all good news for the great magician, as saving Gomes' Premiership career currently appears to need a miracle. Oh, wait...

I agree in that I think Redknapp will easily save Spurs from relegation. However saving Gomes' Premiership career will take rather more than a miracle. His confidence is shot and the defence have don't trust him now. Gomes is like Cinderella, always late for the ball.
