Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says he is concentrating on doing his job at Spurs despite speculation linking him with the vacant England manager's job.

"I've got a job to do, I've got a big game on Saturday with Tottenham. Tottenham is my focus," he told Sky Sports News.
"They've been fantastic to me, the Tottenham people. The fans last week at the Wigan game, it was incredible the reception they gave me.
"It wouldn't be right to them to focus on anything else but Tottenham. My only interest is Tottenham Hotspur."
Redknapp admitted he was surprised that Capello had left the job.
"I was shocked. I was surprised. I didn't expect that to happen. We knew he was going to leave in the summer but I didn't expect it to happen now," he said.
He added: "They [the Football Assoication] will make whatever decision they want to make and hopefully it will be the right decision for the country."
Redknapp's opposite number at Newcastle, Alan Pardew, has also played down speculation linking him with the role.
"Firstly as an Englishman, I am proud to be in that sort of frame, but it's not for me and I will make that quite clear," Pardew said.
"I am not even in the running as far as I am concerned."
