Redknapp's communication ability key to Spurs revival
Tottenham midfielder David Bentley has hailed new boss Harry Redknapp as the king of communication.
Spurs have undergone a transformation since Redknapp joined the club from Portsmouth two weeks ago, winning two and drawing one to quadruple their previous points tally.
And creative midfielder Bentley credits a lot of that to Redknapp's famous gift of the gab.
"A big thing about football is communication, and Harry's got that in abundance," he told the
Independent on Sunday.
"He's not afraid to tell the players what he wants. Sometimes they need to be told, and Harry's got that.
Character
"His experience and character speaks for itself. He's been in the game a long time and earned a lot of respect through the years.
"You hear off other players what he's all about, and everything is true. Just experiencing it for the week or so he's been in, it's been a real uplift and a real positive feeling."
Despite Redknapp's positive impact, Spurs go to Manchester City on Sunday still at the bottom of the table - a painful reminder of their horrendous start under Juande Ramos.
Bentley added: "They had a more continental way of doing things. Whether it worked here, I'm not too sure.
"I'm passionate about winning and so the start was so disappointing.
"Rome wasn't built in a day. We're trying to build a club, give the club heart and soul and make every player care about it."
