Redknapp said at a press conference ‘e hadn’t got a bleedin’ clue about this banking lark’ sending Barclays’ shares plummeting a further 20%.<br /> However he then said he’d ‘give the job a fair whack’ which saw shares recover slightly.</p> <p>Redknapp also declared he would deploy a 4-billion, 4-billion, 2-billion formation at the bank, sparking a further share plunge, and hoped to sign up some ‘well clever geezers’ like Professor Brian Cox, Stephen Fry and Stevie G.</p> <p>After his admission at his fraud trial earlier this year that he could ‘hardly add one plus one’ analysts have declared Redknapp’s appointment to a major international finance role to be ‘eyebrow-raising.’ </p> <p>In his first surprise move Redknapp announced he was entering Barclay’s into next years’ Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League but wasn’t going to bother with the Carling Cup.</p> <p>He urged Barclay’s shareholders to form a hardcore ‘firm’ and show their devotion for the company by chanting juvenile nonsense at the banks competitor’s employees, suggesting a good one might be something like ‘your short-term ISA interest rate is shit.’ </p>
