LONDON — Just when you think there is nothing left in football to surprise you, along comes Harry Redknapp.

When we went to bed last Saturday, Juande Ramos was the Tottenham manager.

Not for too long we suspected, but we didn't expect to wake up on Sunday morning and hear not only had the Spaniard said adios to White Hart Lane, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy had even installed a replacement — Redknapp.
