Redknapp to stay as Pompey get massive cash boost

PORTSMOUTH chairman Milan Mandaric has assured manager Harry Redknapp his job is safe after striking an agreement in principle with a Russian billionaire’s son over the club’s future shareholding and development.

Thirty-year-old Alexandre Gaydamak has been accepted as an equal partner at Fratton Park and his arrival could result in massive investment in the team and facilities.

Redknapp is poised to raid the January transfer market to strengthen a team who remain in the bottom three despite recent improved form.
