Redknapp - no plans to leave.

Harry Redknapp has dismissed claims he will step down as Portsmouth manager after this weekend's FA Cup final.

Reports on Thursday suggested Redknapp was seriously considering departing Fratton Park after Saturday's Wembley showdown with Cardiff.

But the 61-year-old is adamant he has no plans to leave and has instead directed focus towards his side's forthcoming clash with the Bluebirds.

He told The Sun: "You're as old as you feel and Alex Ferguson (aged 66) must be feeling bloody brilliant. He's a lesson to us all.

"I want to go on as long as him and I don't see why I can't. I still love the game as much as ever. I've got a good team, good players and thoroughly enjoy working at this club.

"I can't see myself ever leaving Portsmouth, not now. It would be nice to put on a performance in the final but it's more important to win.

"In 10 years' time they'll only remember who won it, not how they played."
