Redknapp’s home ‘at risk’ after losing millions

Harry Redknapp told police his home was at risk after he lost millions of pounds in disastrous investments, a court heard.

The Tottenham Hotspur boss urged detectives to ask his solicitor if he had “ever come across anyone as bad, businesswise”.

He said he lost £6 million in a property venture in Southsea, Hampshire, and had squandered £250,000 to help his friend, Jim Smith, keep his managerial job at Oxford United.
