Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp doesn’t have much time for Tottenham stars who have showed public support for Ange Postecoglou following his sacking.
Postecoglou led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years in his second season but a dire Premier League campaign saw him lose his job.
There were joyous scenes in that part of north London after Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final last month.
However, Daniel Levy and Co chose to part ways with the 59-year-old two weeks later with the club’s 17th-placed finish in the top flight the determining factor.
Spurs stars have taken to social media to show their support for Postecoglou in the time since while others have taken thinly-veiled swipes at ownership.
Micky van de Ven labelled the decision to part ways with Postecoglou ‘strange’ while Cristian Romero took to Instagram minutes after the appointment of Thomas Frank was confirmed this week, making reference to the many obstacles that exist at the club.

Yves Bissouma also revealed some emotional private messages between him and his former manager in which he expressed his gratitude.
Redknapp, however, isn’t a fan of this public well-wishing after seeing the performances of the team throughout the majority of the campaign.
‘That’s football, that’s what footballers do,’ he said at a Soccer Aid training session on Thursday.
‘Oh we love the previous manager well why didn’t you try a bit harder you might not have finished fourth from bottom.
‘It’s the same old message you know. The king is dead, long live the king. That’s football.
‘They all come out and say the manager was great and then the new manager comes and he’ll great.
‘Then when he goes they’re sorry to see him go. That’s football, you mustn’t take any notice of what they say.’
Redknapp managed Spurs between 2008 and 2012 and came close to guiding them to a trophy himself when they reached the 2009 League Cup final.
