I said... he said... And still no-one's the wiser

Anyone listen to the sports news on Today this morning? What was going on there? Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp laying into his chairman at 7.30, followed by the chairman himself an hour later.

I'm still not entirely clear what the issue is. But what is obvious is the amount of dirty laundry being aired in public. It was like being in a private meeting which somehow got recorded. Redknapp just kept going and going; I half wondered if the interviewer would cut Redknapp off just to save him digging any deeper.

But as someone who has a part-time interest in the goings-on at Fratton Park (they are after all the closest Premiership team to where I grew up), it's a shame that what has been a great season has been reduced to this. Redknapp has made almost Herculean efforts to keep the club up this year. And whereas the club and fans should be patting themselves on the back and preparing for next year's graft, this very public fallout has happened.
