WEST Ham boss Harry Redknapp today called into question the Department of Employment's decision to grant Brad Friedel a work permit.

Hammers boss Redknapp believes the whole system is 'crooked' after struggling to get a permit for 23-year-old Australian Hayden Foxe, who is an international regular when fitness permits. He said: "How did Brad Friedel get a work permit when he wasn't even allowed in the country originally?"
