The Lie: I definitely didn't know anything about Peter Odemwingie that time. The QPR manager isn't adverse to the odd porkie pie, and most of the excuses he comes out with should be taken with a pinch of salt - like his continued assistance that he cannot send a text message, and has the writing ability of a toddler. The greatest lies of course are the ones that are never really dealt with openly: a couple of years ago Redknapp was involved in Peter Odemwingie's hilarious attempt to move to QPR, despite his parent club not having accepted a bid. He turned up on Sky Sports, hanging - suspiciously Redknapp-like - out of his car window confirming his excitement at the deal. And then when he was recalled North with his tail between his legs, of course Harry had known nothing about it. But then that's the public image of Harry - he's not the cut-throat businessman he might seem, he's instead a bumbling, stumbling rogue who relies on the higher-ups to do his business for him. And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.
