I’m shocked Champs League win was so unlucky for Uncle Harry

FAMILY AFFAIR ... Frank Lampard
FRANK LAMPARD fears the greatest triumph of his career could have cost uncle Harry Redknapp his job as Tottenham boss.
Redknapp was controversially axed last week in the wake of Chelsea’s historic Champions League win in Munich. That dramatic victory over Bayern Munich last month saw the Blues clinch Champions League football next season — but bounced Spurs down into the Europa League.
And the Stamford Bridge star says that was so cruel on Harry, who deserved top-flight European action after finishing fourth.
Lampard said: “I feel really bad for Harry, especially as my biggest success in football turned out so unlucky for him.
“He deserved Champions League football. He and Spurs finished fourth. That’s why I’m still shell-shocked by what’s happened.
“I have some mates who are Spurs fans and they are desperately disappointed.
“They remember how they were rock-bottom when Harry came in. Then, all of a sudden, they’re playing in the Champions League and competing at the top.
“He’s done an amazing job. He did so well people were talking of him as a great choice for England.
“And he deserved that recognition. He certainly didn’t deserve to lose his job.”
