Harry Redknapp admits he's illiterate.

Anyone else hear about this? The man who led Portsmouth to the FA Cup and could be the next England manager can't write a team sheet, doesn't know how to e-mail or text and pays someone to do his bills for him.

I honestly can not believe this. I'm not sure if this is true and he's just getting desperate as he knows he's in the shit but I'm absolutely baffled that a football manager of his stature can't read or write. Surely at some point he'd have gone and learnt basic english, at least enough to write a team sheet.

I love the way shit gets twisted, all he said is his writing is like a 2 year olds and his spelling is really bad......i know plenty of 60+ who dont use mobiles to txt, its a generation thing.....plus hes in the shit! So pulling out all the stops. Illiterate he isnt.

Im Pretty sure hes telling bollox. Am sure he has his own column in a newspaper?
Surely if he wasnt illiterate he wouldnt have his own column?

Yes he does or did as he used the fact he wasn't paid for 8 months and didnt even notice as proof he he useless with money.
Odd for someone who claims he can't fill in a team sheet.... Suppose it could have been dictated but all a bit odd.

He may not be able to write but he does know how to hide his money from the tax man.

Or at least he thought he did.

As for his job with the Sun you will probably find he used a ghost writer, I'm sure Mark Bloom used to ghost write a weekly article for Gary Speed when he was at Newcastle.

He's trying to make out that he didn't have a clue about his finances, but he manages to find his way to Monaco to open an off-shore bank account? Really doesn't make sense to me.

Makes perfect sense to me.

He's playing the 'old school' card that most of his business is done by word
of mouth. He's never really bothered with the administrative side of things
and barely even picks up a biro. Part of his defence strategy. End of.

He's an intelligent man, maybe he never does write letters, send E Mails etc...

but I suspect he's more than capable of it if need be

Absolutely.

Totally playing dumb! its a good move to be fair because the dury will go for it when they look at his face!
