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 claw their way from the relegation zone of the Barclays Premier League.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.Ramos has worked wonders with Real Madrid since becoming temporary manager of the Spanish Champions in May, winning all but one La Liga matches. Transformation: Harry Redknapp has got the best out of his Spurs squad - even if he couldn't quite inspire them to Wembley glory Bad start: Juande Ramos 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.'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. '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.'While Manchester United seem certain to win the title, the battle against relegation is far more open.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.'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.'
