you say that but it is well known that redknapp is a old fashoined manager and likes to do tranfsers and wages his way, he dosent like to be told what is happening he wants to be the one doing it and i cant see spurs saying you can manager this club but you cant do what your used to doing. im pretty sure he wouldnt have taken the job.
He took the job because Tottenham are a good, growing club and I highly doubt he had better offers come his way. Redknapp may like to spend, but he simply will not get the best of Levy. It's that simple. He will spend what Levy allows him to spend.
