Pulis backs returning Redknapp

// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Stoke manager Tony Pulis hopes Harry Redknapp will get a good reception when he returns to Fratton Park. Redknapp, who spent five years with the South Coast outfit in two separate spells, will return to his former club for the Premier League clash against current side Spurs on Saturday.Despite winning the FA Cup with Pompey last year, Redknapp is expected to receive a hostile reception on his return, although Pulis thinks he should be welcomed back with open arms."If you look at what he did at Portsmouth, he took a club that nearly got relegated, and they finished in a position in the Premiership that no-one would have dreamed about and took them to an FA Cup final and actually won it," Pulis, who managed Pompey in 2000, told Sky Sports News."So supporters should remember the good times that Harry brought to them and to their football club."People say about finances but Harry's a football man. You have other people who are responsible for the finances and running the club financially."He should be welcomed back there without a question of a doubt but I'm sure that won't happen."I've had it going back to Gillingham, a great reception at Gillingham, but went back to Bristol City and got slaughtered."You've got to take it on the chin, supporters are supporters, they pay their money and they have a right to voice their opinions."
