Redknapp avoids FA charge

02 November 2010 17:30
Harry Redknapp has avoided sanction from the Football Association following his comments about referee Mark Clattenburg following Tottenham's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at the weekend. Redknapp described Clattenburg's decision to allow Luis Nani's 84th-minute goal to stand as "scandalous" after Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes had put the ball down in his area believing his team had won a free-kick. The Spurs manager stood by his comments on Monday and threatened not to attend match-day press conferences if he was punished. Press Association Sport understands, however, that Redknapp's threat had no bearing on the FA's decision only to warn Redknapp about his future conduct and that his comments in their totality had been taken into account.
