FF News Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 TORQUAY UNITED vice-chairman Bill Phillips has rubbished national newspaper reports that the former Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp is part of a consortium who are considering buying the club. Reports emerged this morning that Redknapp, who left Premier League side QPR on Monday, is 'talking' to a consortium who are 'considering' buying a football club on the south coast.

Redknapp quit football because he said he needed immediate surgery on his knees. Read more: http://www.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/ Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
