FC Schalke appoint Redknapp
FC Schalke president Josef Schnusenberg has announced that he has appointed Harry Redknapp as manager after a falling out with Felix Magath , this is what he had to say on the matter
' I am delighted to announce Harry as our manager , he did wonders for Tottenham and it would be good if he could do the same for us, as for Felix , we had an argument and i was fine with that as it happens at all clubs but then he threw a punch and i wasn't having any of that , i decided straight away to take action and sack him'
Felix Magath's temper got the better of him
Harry Redknapp's press conference
BBC Sport : Harry how do you feel on been the new manager of Schalke ?
Redknapp : It feels great , they are a great club and have many talented players, i am glad to be here
Sky Sports : You did so much for Tottenham so why leave ?
Redknapp : It wasn't easy to leave and i'll tell you that now but i need a break from English football and there is no better place that asked me to join than here
KICK! Magazine : You already have major talent in your squad with Raul, Nuer , Huntelaar and Rakitic , will you be adding any more players?
Redknapp : Im not sure yet , i will have to check if the players are up to my standards , i would love to bring Defoe or Crouch here but i will have to look into that later
Will Crouch or Defoe be heading to Germany ?

Redknapp brings in 5 players !
Harry Redknapp has today announced the signings of the following players ,
Oscar Cardozo - £13,000,000
The tall striker will give the team a big boost but he will have to fight for is place as we already have Raul and Huntelaar .
Fabio Borini - Loan
Fabio is highly tipped to the next big thing ! He is a young but talented striker and will be more than likely be back up to the first team
Alex Smithies - £700,000
Smithies is a brilliant goalkeeper and will surely be England number one sometime in the future , he will be used as back up to Nuer.
Urby Emanuelson - Loan
Urby is a 23 year old Wing Back / Attacking Midfielder and has been capped 11 times by Holland , he will be a important first team player by the next few years
Anthony Annan - £3,100,000
A tenacious and exciting young midfielder, Annan came to be noticed in the world cup for Ghana, and has been dubbed the new big thing as well. We do have a few midfielders but Annan will be surely pushing for a first team place .
