Town boss Paul Jewell has revealed that Harry Redknapp called him over the weekend to assure him that there was nothing in reports that he had been lined-up to take over at Portman Road.
Speaking to Radio Suffolk, Jewell said: "Harry rang me last Sunday and said there was absolutely no truth in it.
"The only worrying thing was at the end of the conversation he asked me what the best areas to live were!”
The Blues manager added: "The last time I saw Harry, I was with Marcus [Evans] in Portugal [for the Sir Bobby Robson Classic golf tournament].
"I said: 'You didn't have to make the phone call, Harry, because if Marcus was going to make a change, I think he'd tell me first' and it was fine."
Incorrect claims that three bookies had suspended betting regarding Redknapp taking over at Town were the trigger for the weekend speculation that the former Portsmouth and Spurs boss was set to take over at Portman Road.
