Hampshire villages will be missing an idiot when fans taunt Redknapp

With Paul Hart having no idea about the appointment of Avram Grant, you have got to think he is just keeping the seat warm at Fratton Park.
But the current manager's position is just the sideshow to the main event today with Harry Redknapp returning to Fratton Park.
Pompey fans should remember he did a really, really good job at the club. He won the FA Cup, took them into Europe while sitting comfortably in the Premier League and bringing a fortune in transfer revenue to the club.
The likes of Lassana Diarra, Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Glen Johnson were all on big wages - but they went for even bigger fees. You can't blame Harry for the financial problems at the club.
Despite this, not everyone will be pleased to see him back and you can be sure some villages in Hampshire will be without their idiot this afternoon.
