Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp insisted on Thursday a police probe into corruption in football had nothing to do with him.
In a statement at the English Premier League club’s Eastleigh training ground, Redknapp said he was ”bitterly disappointed” to have been arrested on Wednesday and had been left ”deeply hurt” by the incident.
”Really and truly this is absolutely nothing to do with me,” he told reporters.
Redknapp was one of five men arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting, in raids on eight properties.
The inquiry is being conducted by the economic crime unit of the City of London Police, the national lead force in fraud investigations. — AFP
