Harry Redknapp has banned Tottenham from enjoying another Christmas party and told his multi-millionaire stars it is a small sacrifice for the money they earn.
Two years ago, Redknapp was furious to discover the Spurs squad had gone behind his back to arrange a festive knees-up in Dublin.
Manchester City have held a fancy-dress Christmas party and Arsenal’s players have been pictured enjoying a night out in London.
Redknapp has no problem being cast as Scrooge. The Spurs manager believes a team social can only attract trouble at a time when his team face a run of four Barclays Premier League games in 14 days, starting with Sunderland at home on Sunday.
“No more Christmas parties. We are too busy playing football, we have too many games and they have to concentrate on playing and getting on with their football,” Redknapp said.
“If they can’t behave themselves, if they can’t miss having a drink with the money they are earning there is something wrong with them.
“They are getting fortunes. They have great careers, great lives. They can get on with their football and then go away for six weeks in the summer. Don’t cause problems at Christmas.”
