Harry Redknapp Filmed Saying Former Players Bet on Match
- Updated: September 30, 2016
Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp has become the latest figure to be implicated in the Telegraph’s investigation into corruption in English football, as he was caught on video saying his players bet on one of their own matches.
Per the Telegraph, Redknapp met with undercover reporters on July 6, telling them his players “all had a spread bet” on the result of the match.
Under Football Association regulations, players are not allowed to bet on matches they take part in, and managers are to raise the matter with the FA as soon as they find out. Redknapp is not believed to have done so.
Redknapp said his players bet they would win the contest and he was unclear of the regulations. When told by the Telegraph his players couldn’t bet on matches, he said: “Oh would it? Oh, OK. But not at that time I don’t think it was, was it? They weren’t betting on the other team, they were having a bet on their own team.”
When asked about the allegations, he said: “Who gives a s–t about that?”
