Who is Harry Redknapp? Football genius or football chancer? Master tactician or practical joker? Sometimes he's the messiah, at others the clown. Whoever he is, John Crace's new book is determined to find out.
Queens Park Rangers and Harry were a match made in heaven; two more perfect partners you couldn’t have found. QPR ticked all the Redknapp boxes. Close enough to Bournemouth for him to commute daily; an under-performing, misfiring squad; and a rich owner in Tony Fernandes who had shown he was prepared to dig deep into his own pockets to ensure premiership survival. Typically, Redknapp kept his cards close to his chest, insisting in one radio interview that he had received eight job offers in the past week. At that rate, if he’d held on for another three months, he could have taken his pick of any of the 92 league clubs.
