Harry Redknapp has taken the blame for John Terry's move to Aston Villa, with the Birmingham manager admitting he didn't push hard enough for the defender.
Terry was unveiled as a Villa player on Monday following the expiry of his contract with Premier League champions Chelsea.
Redknapp was interested in signing Terry, but the former England captain chose to snub an approach from Birmingham in favour of a move to their rivals Villa.
And Redknapp feels his lack of conviction when pursuing Terry was the reason his side missed out on the 36-year-old's signature.
