Portsmouth escape action over Redknapp’s switch

PORTSMOUTH will not face action from the Premier League for their alleged illegal approach to bring Harry Redknapp back to Fratton Park from rivals Southampton.

While at St Mary’s, Redknapp was initially refused permission to speak to Pompey about filling their managerial vacancy; then he left the club after feeling his position was untenable.

Saints chairman Rupert Lowe questioned Portsmouth’s, with Pompey opposite number Milan Mandaric denying any wrongdoing.
