Harry Redknapp: England players "don't give a toss"

Harry Redknapp slams England's players for failing to care for the team following their 'disappointing' performance against Norway.

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has accused England's players of showing a lack of commitment to the team.

The Three Lions played out a 1-0 victory over Norway in a low-key friendly at Wembley last night, watched by a crowd of 40,181 - England's smallest attendance since the national stadium was rebuilt.

"Here we go again, a few months after a disastrous World Cup - yet another massive let down for everyone," Redknapp told The Sun. "It is disappointment after disappointment. Half the players don't give a toss. The fans can't be bothered to watch them.

"Managers of the Premier League clubs take an interest just to see if their players are going to come back injured from international duty. I don't blame the supporters for not being interested in England at the moment. Why should they be?

"We were told this is the start of a new era. Trust me, I hope so, I really do, but I'm not holding my breath because it will only get harder for England with the way things are in club football."

England begin their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign away at Switzerland next week.
