West Ham managing director Karren Brady has criticised Harry Redknapp over the way he pursued Scott Parker during the transfer window.[LNB] The Hammers midfielder recently put an end to speculation about his future by signing a new four-year contract at Upton Park.[LNB]But throughout the summer it did not appear certain that he would stay as Tottenham were interested in securing his services.[LNB]West Ham always made it clear that Parker was not for sale and rejected an offer from their London rivals.[LNB]Vice-chairman Brady nevertheless says the 29-year-old was affected by the situation, and has hit out at Redknapp for the way he does business.[LNB]"Harry Redknapp has introduced something in the transfer market I call 'Harry's Law'. It goes: 'Do what I like, when I like, with whom I like," Brady said in the Daily Mail.[LNB]"Scott Parker grew unsettled by Spurs' clear interest in him even though West Ham joint-chairman David Sullivan stated he was not for sale.[LNB]"No permission to speak to Scott was requested or would have been given.[LNB]"But this was not good enough for Spurs who were convinced we would be pressured into selling."[LNB]Redknapp has insisted that Tottenham did nothing wrong, saying: "We were told they were willing to sell and wanted to sell him to raise money."
