Spurs would be in Euro race if it wasn't for Ramos's start, says Redknapp
Harry Redknapp has pointed the finger at predecessor Juande Ramos as Tottenham Hotspur [LNB]claw their way from the relegation zone of the Barclays Premier League.[LNB]Spurs' form in the 19 league games with Redknapp in charge has been good - they have won 29 points - but he feels he was left with too much ground to make up to have anything but a season of struggle.[LNB]Ramos has worked wonders with Real Madrid since becoming temporary manager of the Spanish Champions in May, winning all but one La Liga matches.[LNB] Transformation: Harry Redknapp has got the best out of his Spurs squad - even if he couldn't quite inspire them to Wembley glory[LNB] Bad start: Juande Ramos [LNB] But as he prepared for tomorrow's game against Sunderland, Redknapp said: 'We had a bad start to the season and had two point from eight games when I came.[LNB]'Our form since then has been good, well over a point a game. If we'd taken that same average from the first eight games we'd be talking about having about 38 points now. [LNB]'With 12 games to go. I'd then be thinking we had a good chance of making the UEFA Cup again next season. It's just that we had a bad start.'[LNB]While Manchester United seem certain to win the title, the battle against relegation is far more open.[LNB]Redknapp said: 'I wouldn't like to say who's going down. Other years it's usually three from five by now but this time it's any three from 10.[LNB]'I don't think 37 points will be enough to keep us up but then again I don't think it's going to be quite as high as everyone thought a few weeks ago.'[LNB] HATCHET MAN: Redknapp should know that Lennon won't be an England player until he learns how to pass the ball properly[LNB]TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC NEWS FROM ACROSS THE NET[LNB]Lennon starting to imagine that Capello will pick him again soon for England[LNB]Magic Harry: Only the top six land more points than Spurs since boss joined[LNB]Years behind Fergie - longest serving list exposes revolving door culture[LNB] [LNB]
