Pompey's foreign stars take lessons to decipher Harry  October
22, 2008  Portsmouth's foreign players are being sent to
language school so they can understand manager Harry Redknapp's
orders.  Pompey are organising the lessons for 16 of their
players so they are not left baffled by boss Redknapp's Cockney
phrases.  The lessons, run by Dr Jay Kettle-Williams, will also
include learning football terms using a table football game.  A
spokeswoman for language school Polyglot Solutions in Southsea,
Hampshire said: ''The lessons were inspired by the fact that the
English level by the players and their wives was not adequate
for living and working in Portsmouth.  ''That was the
springboard for the lessons and as well as that it is crucial
for the players to understand instructions on the pitch.''
