Harry Redknapp, who consistently poured out negative opinions on Son Heung-min, even criticized Son's farewell this time.
Britain's TBR Football reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'Redknapp has already predicted what Tottenham players will do if Thomas Frank does it.'"
TBR Football says Tottenham players are unhappy with Postecoglou's replacement. There were voices of support for him, but Redknapp didn't seem to believe it. Redknapp said the players say goodbye to the outgoing coach, but they don't try when it's important, and he thought it would be the same if Frank was replaced.

Tottenham recently replaced Postecoglou and newly appointed Frank. Tottenham is preparing for a new season under the new manager, but the Tottenham squad did not forget Postecoglou's contribution to winning the trophy and said goodbye to him.
James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Pedro Porro and Mickey van der Pen said their last greetings to Postecoglou, and so did captain Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min said on his personal SNS, `You knew from the beginning what our players could do. You did it your own way, which gave you the best night in decades. We will cherish this memory for the rest of our lives. I also filled the captain's armband. It was one of the greatest honors of my career. It was a great privilege to learn your leadership up close. Thanks to you, I was able to become a better player and person. Postecoglou, you are an eternal legend of Tottenham. Thank you.

However, Redknapp insisted that Son Heung-min's actions were all postponements. Redknapp said "Why didn't you try hard and finish the season in fourth place when the director said it was really good? It's just the same thing. People say the director is great after everyone comes out. The new coach will also be great, and it is said to be a pity if he leaves. I can't listen to everything they say."
TBR Football thought the director's divergence was mostly acting. Son Heung-min also sent a similar message to the coaches. He posted a similar message after Antonio Conte's replacement and after Postecoglou's replacement. The same is true of Mauricio Pochettino. This is a pattern that is constantly happening at Tottenham.

However, Redknapp's claim seems to be overly exaggerated. Son Heung-min said his last greetings to the coaches who devoted themselves to the team as captains, and he never caused a flurry of attitude problems when the coaches took charge of the team. I devoted myself to the team. Along with his performance, he has consistently challenged the league's top performance. Redknapp's claim was in fact more of a blind condemnation of Tottenham's squad.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Redknapp has expressed criticism of Son Heung-min. He said of Son Heung-min during the 2024-2025 season, `He has never impressed me as a captainHe also doubted Son Heung-min's captain's armband status.
