Harry Redknapp has denied any wrongdoing after being caught up in the Daily Telegraph's sting operation.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers boss Redknapp was the latest name to be caught in the Telegraph's 'football4sale' investigation after he was accused of being aware of players illegally placing a spread bet on themselves to win a game back in 2003.

Now Redknapp has gone on to defend himself by branding the allegations as 'nonsense' and stated that he was not fooled by the undercover journalists who set up the fake interview.

Redknapp told talkSPORT: "I don't feel foolish. I got a phone call from somebody who told me there was a Chinese billionaire who wanted to buy a Premier League club and he'd like to meet me in London to discuss the possibility of me becoming the manager or director of football.

"I'm not working anymore, so I thought yeah, I'd go along and meet with these people and see what they've got to say.

"But when I got there, there were no Chinese people at all, there are just two other people with the guy who rang me and obviously they were filming me. For three hours they were going on about different aspects of the game and buying players, but everything they said I knocked it for six. I didn't go along with any of it.

"I told them that the best way they could advise their investor would be to buy a club like a Bolton, a Leeds, a Sheffield Wednesday - a club with great tradition, a sleeping giant - take them into the Premier League and suddenly you've got a fantastic club with great support.

"That was my idea. I had three hours of these people and I'd never been so bored in my life. I wanted to go home."
