Harry's shame: Spurs boss Redknapp admits he was wrong to blast Bent

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has admitted he was wrong to publicly criticise Darren Bent after a glaring miss earlier this season. Redknapp famously claimed 'my missus could have scored it' when Bent missed a golden chance to grab a late winner against Portsmouth at White Hart Lane in January.  Honest Harry: Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he made a mistake in criticising his players in public just after joining the club. But the Spurs boss, who has masterminded a remarkable turnaround at the north London club since his appointment at the end of October, has admitted it was a mistake to admonish Bent for the miss. 'I must admit myself I think I made a mistake after one game, I did cane them a bit,' he said. 'I didn't get a response from that, and someone I respect told me that wasn't my style.   Spurs star Jenas faces ban after blast at ref Webb for Old Trafford blunderChelsea and Spurs wait in the wings as Barca offer £30m Eto'o to Man CityMilan boss confident of beating Spurs to sign Beckham by end of the yearTOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
