Jamie Redknapp has questioned what direction Spurs are going in following today’s 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle.

“He’s a manager that works in short bursts, he goes into a club for three years, wins, and then normally goes somewhere else.
If I’m a player there, you’ve got to show that you’re loyal as well and you want to be here and be part of this process because someone of his ilk is usually signed up by now.
We are getting very close to Christmas, we are getting close to the World Cup, the season is going to be over very quickly. You need to tie this up. You need to get him sorted so he can talk about the players he wants in.
You need to get Harry Kane signed up, he’s got 18 months left on his contract as well. These are really important factors that you have to get right at the club.”
