Two-Faced Redknapp Takes Dig At Toon Fans!

17 October 2011 11:26
Harry Redknapp was offered the Newcastle job ahead of Kevin Keegan, but he turned it down. Now WHY did he snub the club?

Well ... let's go back to what he said at the time ...

Harry Redknapp: "I thought long and hard about it, but there is something not right at that club.

"I need total control, and there is something wrong at Newcastle and I wonder how much control the manager has."

Obviously pointing to 'interference' from above, and that was proven to be correct, because Dennis Wise was allowed to bring in players Keegan had not even heard of!

But today Harry seems to have changed his tune.

Harry Redknapp: "To be honest, the chairman has had some grief up there and he's put millions and millions of pounds in to the club.

"Alan Pardew has done a great job as manager. They look a strong outfit at the moment.

"Chris went up there and did well, got them promoted. Obviously Mike Ashley wanted a change and Alan has gone there and done a great job.

"The chairman's spent fortunes up there and they're still shouting and moaning. He's spent about £100million and they're still calling him names."
