Harry Redknapp’s Birmingham City future is ’50/50′

Harry Redknapp’s future at Birmingham City remains ’50/50′, according to a source close to the club.

It was thought that Redknapp’s future at St. Andrews rested solely on keeping Blues in the Championship. But the 70 year-old will first seek assurances that he will be backed with the finances to mount a play-off push next season.

A contract has been provisnally drawn up by the Blues board who are keen for Redknapp to commit for two years.

A source close to the club confirmed- ‘If and when safety is confirmed, the club will hold further discussions with Harry. No agreement is in place at this point but conferring with Harry is paramount to the club – it remains a 50/50 situation for both parties to agree’.

Steve McClaren was seen at St. And5rews during yesterday’s win over Huddersfield Town. But Vital Birmingham understands that the former England and Derby manager was attending his fourth game this week and has been present at other stadiums.
