Reports today from Defoe that when signing for Portsmouth Harry Redknapp rushed it through without need for a medical.
Given that he also brought Kanu and David James in, on massive wages and lengthy contracts, allowed players to come on as sub as they needed appearance bonus to clear gambling debts (Merson) got caught up on a 'backhander' scandal, the question remains how the fuck did he manage to stay a media darling for so long??
The man was a cancer on every football club he touched.
