Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has claimed that it would be "unfair" to leave White Hart Lane due to their current position in the Premier League.
The 64-year-old has become the overwhelming favourite to succeed Fabio Capello, who resigned from his post last week.
"I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't the popular choice," Redknapp told Abu Dhabi Sports. "I know I am, it's been everywhere, in every paper every day.
"But it's not an easy one. I have a good job and I work with good people and I have a good team. The fans have been fantastic to me.
"Just to walk away now, when we're in such a good position, it wouldn't be fair, it wouldn't be fair on Tottenham. I have to really keep focusing on Tottenham."
The North London side face Stevenage in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend.
