    This basically sums Redknapp up. Benjani was loved by the fans and loved being at Pompey but Redknapp wanted him out to take his cut of the profit made on him. He thinks it’s funny along with all the sycophants presenting these programmes but all they are doing is disrespecting the club and the fans.
