Harry Rednapp: Aussie angle???

Tottenham manager Harry Rednapp was, amazingly, cleared of corruption allegations raised in the book I mention below in the previous post.

With managers on the take the "Brian Clough" or "George Graham" syndrome of getting $100,000 in cash or in Graham's case maybe $500,000 in a Jersey bank account for a player transferring in or out of their club makes for interesting reading and many football fans will have followed these stories.

So when any club is moving in or out an unusual number of players it makes you think dunnit. Is someone in the club on the take?

So Harry Rednapp moved heaps of players in and out of West Ham and Portsmouth and survived the allegations that he was on the take. "Nah just my management style mate," you can hear the crafty cockney saying...or was that Venables!

Has Harry changed his behaviour? Or are Tottenham now shifting more players than goals. Has Harry suddenly changed his management strategy?

Probably only a Tottenham fan could tell, who else follows them?

And in Australia the club that seems to shift more players than any other club to any part of the world as quickly as possible is...

Newcastle Jets.

Hmmmm got me wondering...maybe I should stop reading about transfer deals!
