The Harry Redknapp Ukrainian phrasebook

According to reports, it seems that Ukraine want Harry Redknapp to be their next manager Now, you may be thinking that it would be a total disaster, but Ukraine are actually a really talented squad who just need a bit of motivation. On that level, Harry's a perfect choice - the only thing that lets him down is that he doesn't habla der Ukraine too well. In fact, he's probably still calling it "The Ukraine" and thinks that the language is just the same thing with the 'R's the wrong way round. Fortunately, SB Nation Soccer's Ukrainian correspondent, Mr G. переводити, has compiled this handy guide. Thank us later, Mr Redknapp.
