Redknapp: I'm not guilty

Harry Redknapp has insisted the police probe has "nothing to do with me". Redknapp was linked with the England job but these rumours are sure to end that speculation, and the Portsmouth boss has come out fighting.

"I still feel I was only called in because I have a high profile. I add a bit of a profile to the investigation," Redknapp said at a press conference on Thursday.

"But this is nothing whatsoever to do with me, although if they had asked me quietly to pop round and answer a few questions I would have done it.

"What an agent does with his player has nothing to do with me but I would have helped if they thought I could."

Redknapp had been in Germany on Tuesday night watching Stuttgart play Rangers in the Champions League.

He said: "I had my wife on the phone leaving hysterical messages that the police had been round.

"They also raided Peter Storrie and Milan Mandaric. They took a computer away from my house which I bought my wife two years ago and which, a few weeks ago, we learned how to switch on. I then got a message to report to Chichester Police Station where I spent a good part of the day.

"The whole crux of the meeting was the fact that an agent had been paid an agent's fee and had paid some of the money to the player. That was the top and bottom of the issue, the player and the football agent.

"But I was wondering what I was doing there - I'm not involved in what an agent and a player does. I'm not involved."
