Former Tottenham Hotspur coach Joe Jordan says that the club would have made positive progress next season if Harry Redknapp had remained in charge.

Former Tottenham Hotspur coach Joe Jordan is adamant that the club would have made positive progress next season if Harry Redknapp had remained in charge.

Redknapp was sacked by Spurs on June 14 before Jordan and fellow first-team coach Kevin Bond followed the 65-year-old out of White Hart Lane last Thursday.

Andre Villas-Boas is reportedly poised to be appointed as Redknapp's successor and the Portuguese will seemingly be tasked with qualifying for the Champions League - something Jordan believes that Spurs were already on course to achieve.

"You look to improve and we would have," Jordan told BBC Radio 5 live. "I think Harry had his eye on one or two players who he thought could improve the team.

"Not for the life of me did I think I would go off on my holiday and return to find my contract had been terminated.

"We improved in each of the seasons we were at Tottenham. Harry would have got the players he wanted and we would have progressed further."

Spurs finished fourth in the Premier League last season and were denied Champions League football as a consequence of Chelsea's triumph over Bayern Munich.
