Harry Redknapp Was Sacked When He Thought He Was Getting A New Deal …

In 2001, Harry Redknapp turned up for work at West Ham to sign a new four-year deal which would have netted him £10 million.

There was no sign on the horizon that the board was dissatisfied with him, in spite of poor form.

Terry Brown, the club’s chairman, entered the room and told the smiling manager “Harry, we’ve decided to let you go.” Redknapp burst into tears.

Gerrard will probably not cry when his sacking comes, because he’s on a pretty fat contract which the Ibrox club will have to make up in full … there are three and a half years of it left.
