Alan Curbishley decided to quit the Hammers yesterday, following several transfer dealings this summer agains his wishes.
Redknapp told The Sun: “Alan Curbishley may have gone as West Ham boss — but there’s no way I’ll replace him.
“Curbs quit because he feels he has been undermined and shown a lack of trust by the owner. I take my hat off to him for sticking to his principles.
“Don’t get me wrong, West Ham is a fantastic club, with fantastic fans and — having gone there aged 15 — it has a special place in my heart.
“But I love it at Portsmouth and I have one big advantage over a lot of Premier League bosses these days — I’ve got an owner who lets the manager manage.”
