Why Harry Redknapp’s new warts-and-all book is a t’riffic read
I’d rather spend a night locked in a room with Justin Bieber than read most football autobiographies.
‘I wasn’t a bad lad at school but I was much happier with a football at my feet. If truth be told, I wasn’t bad at maths, and maybe could have gone on to be an accountant.’
Really? Can you just skip to the part when you scored the winner in the FA Cup final and got caught with your pants down later that night at Stringfellows?
So, Harry Redknapp’s new book, Always Managing, comes as a welcome addition to the bookshelf and can be placed alongside the Cloughs and the Keanes of this world as an exception to the rule.
It’s a page-turner alright, as the current QPR manager does well to debunk the theory that he’s a wheeler dealer, cut-the-corners chancer; football’s answer to Del Boy Trotter.

Has Ben White stopped being selfish for England and the Nation?
It has been declared recently that Ben White is looking to finally play for England after nearly three years worth of absence.
Apparently Talksport reporter Adrian Durham has announced that Arsenal’s centre-back is interested in being included in England’s manager Thomas Tuchel plans come March, once he takes over from current interim boss Lee Carsley.
This has komma as a shock to not only those associated with Arsenal but also the nation of England.
White originally fell out with the England camp during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar following his clash with coach Steve Holland.
