Harry Redknapp is close to parting company with Tottenham and could leave before the end of the month.
The position of the manager, who again guided Spurs to fourth place in the Premier League, is becoming increasingly uncertain as problems relating to a new contract come to a head.
Redknapp has only a year left on his current deal and wants a longer-term commitment, but he has been left uneasy by the club’s reluctance to offer it.

Instead of preparing to lead his country out against France tomorrow, as most expected Redknapp would two months ago, he will watch from the sidelines and is thought to be open to the idea of a pay-off from Tottenham.
Redknapp, despite public denials, has an uneasy relationship with his club chairman Daniel Levy. That has come about partly as a result of the manager being heavily linked with the England job.
Redknapp said: ‘I have a year left on my contract. I’ll sit down with Daniel when the time is right.’
Redknapp was unhappy that the club appeared to put an unrealistic £10million compensation price on his head in case the FA made an approach.
Spurs’ failure to renew Redknapp’s contract after the appointment of Roy Hodgson as England boss then led him to fear his position was not as secure as he had thought. That brought an escalation in the tension between him and the club and the situation will have to be resolved before the start of next season at the latest.
With regard to the England job Redknapp added: ‘I was never approached. I would have taken it, though.’

Spurs fans must be perplexed about the situation as the man responsible for taking the team from Premier League relegation trouble into the Champions League quarter-finals and the top four in England are on the brink of splitting.
The club only missed out on next’s season premier European club competition because of Chelsea’s success in winning the trophy.
If Redknapp leaves, he could find a lucrative escape route in the Middle East. The former West Ham and Portsmouth boss was targeted by Dubai-based outfit Al Ahli two years ago and the more fashionable Abu Dhabi club Al Jazira, owned by Manchester City supremo Sheik Mansour, are currently without a manager.
