Harry Redknapp enjoyed a successful period as Tottenham manager, and the recent form has left fans pining for the happier times of his tenure.
Redknapp has been backed for a return to Tottenham, with Igor Tudor under massive pressure following a 5-2 defeat in the Champions League to Atletico Madrid.
Would Harry Redknapp have enough in him to save Tottenham? 😬
He's done it before, could he do it again?
The former boss had a very strong relationship with Daniel Levy, and with Spurs now on a run of six successive defeats, fans are growing increasingly concerned.
Redknapp has now lifted the lid on a conversation he had with Levy just last week that left him somewhat surprised.

Daniel Levy told Harry Redknapp he’d have him back at Tottenham
It would appear as though Levy still holds Redknapp close to his heart when it comes to his ability as a manager in the Premier League.
Although Redknapp hasn’t worked for a number of years at the top level, he’s explained that Levy explained that he’d have him back in a flash when he spoke with him last week.
Speaking exclusively to TalkSPORT earlier today, Redknapp has shared what Levy was saying to him during a very rare telephone chat with him just last week.
He said: “In terms of Daniel Levy, I mean, he’s no longer at the club, but do you think if you were still in his position there, maybe you would have had a phone call with him?”
“I had a phone call last week from Daniel, funny enough. I haven’t spoken; I think I spoke to him once since I left all that time ago. And I was in the car last week, and the bloody phone goes, and it’s Daniel Levy. Oh, that’s strange, you know. And I was on the phone about half an hour chatting to him, and he was explaining, you know, what had happened to him and how he sort of got marched out of there, which was really strange, wasn’t it, really? I think he was unceremoniously exited from the place, really, it seems. So, now obviously, he’s got no control anymore. He probably still owns the shares, doesn’t he?
“It was quite interesting, and he said to me, he said if I were there now, I would definitely bring you back in until the end of the season Harry. That would be interesting.”
Redknapp could do no worse than Tudor
The issue with appointing anyone at this late stage of the season is that the players in place will be the constant that any new manager has to deal with.
Although there is a sense that the players should be performing better than they currently are, it does feel as though some of the senior players have already checked out.
Many know that regardless of what happens to Tottenham next season, they will be on the move in the summer, and that is a recipe for disaster.
Perhaps Redknapp could at least get the fans galvanised, but whether he’d be able to do the same for the players remains the million-dollar question.
