But, following a meeting with chairman Rupert Lowe to discuss his future Redknapp has told Sky Sports News: "We had a good meeting, it was nice and positive.
"When I walked off the pitch on Sunday, the fans were fantastic and there was no doubt that I wanted to stay at the club.
"I sat down with the chairman and went through the squad looking at next season. What is important is that we try to keep hold of our best players.
"You've got to keep them and give us a chance of getting up, all I wanted was confirmation of that from the chairman that we will look to keep the best players here and add one or two free transfers or whatever we can find.
"He (Lowe) was positive and has the same ambitions as I have, to get back in the Premiership as quick as he can.
"You get disappointed and feel low but I just wanted some clarification of where we wanted to go, I wanted to make sure there was not going to be a fire sale of better player."
