As you're all well aware, Harry Redknapp is a f--king football manager. Anyone that says otherwise (especially to his face) will be met with swift indifference. Redknapp is a manager who’ll give a firm rebuttal to a question that irks him. It’s quite easy to read Redknapp’s body language and train of thought when he’s having an interview. Redknapp is deeply annoyed at the media perception of him as a wheeler dealer, the following clip proves this to be the case.
Without further ado, $#!% ‘Arry Says are gems like this:
In this particular clip, Mr. Redknapp is conducting a pretty jovial interview with Rob Palmer of Sky Sports. Redknapp is pretty relaxed but his mood was to turn in a heartbeat. To my recollection the interview wasn’t being conducted live (there’d of been uproar on an insane scale if it had been). Anyway, both Redknapp and Palmer are talking about football until Palmer touches Redknapp’s nerve with the wheeler dealer tag and all hell breaks loose. From Redknapp having a little hissy fit followed by that dismissive wave afterwards, followed up with Palmer practically begging Redknapp for forgiveness and apologising profusely.
The clip is one that has to be seen to be believed. It’s a quality clip of Mr. Redknapp being flustered yet again. Another Redknapp gaffe encapsulated in 14 classic seconds. It’ll happen to Mr Redknapp again. Bank on it.
