Rumours earlier this morning that Redknapp will be approached by Newcastle gained grounding as it all started going haywire at Portsmouth just after noon.
Redknapp left the Pompey training ground with Peter Storrie much before the sceduled end. The same also resulted in his scheduled press conference being cancelled.
In comments to The News in Portsmouth this morning, he insisted that there was yet to be any contact.
"To say a deal has already been done is absolute rubbish," he had said. "I couldn't say anything else because that's the situation.
"There has been no approach. All I'm doing is trying to get a couple of players in before the Sunderland game on Sunday, but I haven't got anywhere with that.
"Nobody from Newcastle has contacted me and in any case, that wouldn't be allowed. Nobody has contacted Peter Storrie."
It is believed that an official contact has now been made by Newcastle, which is why Redknapp is meeting with Storrie.
According to rumours, Portsmouth and Newcastle are busy thrashing out a compensation package which will allow redknapp to take over at Tyneside.
That is, of course, uncomformed as of now. However, what did emerge from Harry's comments this morning was his unwillingness to rule out a move to Newcastle, and a declaration that any possible decision would not be for financial reasons.
"Money would not be an issue to me," he stressed. "I wouldn't go anywhere just for the money."
Mike Ashley will have to come up with a lot more than a healthy contract, it seems. Stay tuned for developments.
