Harry keen to extend contract

Harry Redknapp has pledged his long-term future to Portsmouth and suggested he is keen to extend his stay by signing a new contract.
Redknapp has three years still to run on his existing deal but, with the south coast club set to move to a new stadium in 2011, the 61-year-old manager would like to prolong his contract.
The former West Ham United boss turned down the opportunity to leave Fratton Park for Newcastle United 12 months ago and led Pompey to FA Cup Final glory during the last campaign.
"I'm not going anywhere and I can't see me going anywhere for a long time," Redknapp told the Portsmouth News.
"Hopefully, I will be here still when the new stadium is built. The only way I won't be is if I'm not alive in 2011!
"I'm still enjoying football as much as I've ever done and can't see me going anywhere.
"If I wasn't involved in football, I'd just be sitting around at home getting under my wife's feet.
"You never know what can happen in this game, but I'm happy here.
"I would love to be there when we play our first game at the new ground."
