Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has ruled out organising any Christmas party in order to avoid any trouble with the players.

According to various reports from England, Redknapp is adament his club will not be holding a Christmas party and he will reject any player who asks him.

"Don't have one - that's the only advice I have. I don't see the point because they're nothing but aggravation for everybody," he told reporters at his Friday press conference.

"Everyone's waiting for you to trip up, go out and get drunk or act silly. You don't need that.

"It's a long season and at the end of that, if we are successful and achieve something at Tottenham, they can go and have a party. They can go and enjoy their break in the summer.

"This is a busy period, a working period. Why should we have Christmas parties? Every year there's aggro at every football club that has one."

Redknapp is not even expecting club captain Robbie Keane to ask about a party.

"I don't think they'd take the liberty to have one without asking first. If they tell me they're having a Christmas party I'll tell them they're not having one," he said.

"I want to see them enjoy themselves but not at this time of year. They've got nothing to celebrate.

"They have to maintain their fitness and be prepared for a tough programme coming up - one thing they don't need is to get a load of booze down their neck."

Earlier in the week, Stoke manager Tony Pulis was allegedly involved in a bust-up with James Beattie over the cancellation of a planned Christmas party.
