White Hart Lane, London: 'Wheeler Dealer' Harry Redknapp has told the international Sport Media, that he is a Football Manager!
At the launch of a new rock and roll song, dedicated to Harry Redknapp, the 'cuddly' Wheeler Dealer Harry was in no mood to compromise over the lyrics;
- "I know a Wheeler Dealer
And the transfer deals aren't small.
They cost a f***ing fortune
For Harry Redknapp's mad about football.
Harry's done some some wheeler dealing
And made some money from his job,
Since Harry became the Manager of
Those terrible football clubs.
(Chorus)
For Harry's football crazy,
Harry's football mad,
The wheeler dealing, it has taken away
The little bit o' sense Harry had,
And it would take a dozen brown envelopes
To keep Harry away from the 'Scrubs',
Since Harry became a Manager of
Those terrible football clubs.
'Arry Redknapp is a likable guy, the quintessential cockney done good. Memo to Sky Sports, for pity's sake me old china, don't attempt matey banter with Arry after his team has just lost at home to Wigan. Don't call him a "wheeler dealer" at that moment!
'Arry has been subject to more than his fair share of scrutiny. The 'mini wehrmacht' barged down his door at 5am in 2007 investigating tax evasion and in 2006 he was filmed allegedly tapping up a player in a Panorama documentary.
Neither were ever proved and seemed to our lay-eyes pretty baseless, but these brushes with the 'mini wehrmacht' have nevertheless left 'Wheeler Dealer' 'Arry clearly a bit touchy.
