Angry Redknapp Rails at Corruption Investigation

Following his arrest yesterday, Harry Redknapp has denied he has anything to do with alleged corruption in football.
Harry Redknapp has said today the investigation into alleged football corruption is "nothing whatsoever to do with me" and that he was "bitterly disappointed" police had turned up at his home at 6am when his wife was there alone.

The Portsmouth manager was arrested yesterday along with Portsmouth's chief executive Peter Storrie and the club's former owner Milan Mandaric by police investigating alleged bungs in the game.

But today's press conference, an emotional Redknapp said police had targeted him to "raise the profile" of their investigation. "I still feel I was only called in because I have a high profile, I add a bit of a profile to the investigation," said Redknapp. "This has nothing whatsoever to do with me. What an agent does with his player has nothing to do with me."
