TEAMtalk : Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas insists Harry Redknapp is in no place to judge whether only a “dope” could fail to succeed Chelsea.
Saturday sees Villas-Boas go head to head with QPR boss Redknapp for the first time since the 35-year-old replaced the former Southampton manager in the White Hart Lane hot-seat last summer.
Redknapp, who was sacked in June despite leading Spurs to fourth, fifth, and fourth during his three full seasons in charge, appeared to aim a jibe at Villas-Boas earlier this season when he claimed that big dossiers – a staple of the Portuguese’s management style – can “baffle” players.
