Redknapp is renowned for his dealings in the transfer market, especially on deadline day and traditionally it has been a popular image to see him live on sports news channels talking to reporters through his Land Rover window as he discusses potential signings.
However Redknapp is currently out of work which means the FA has set the time of the window closing to the earlier time of 6pm on Tuesday 1st of September, rather than the usual 11pm.
A spokesman for the FA said "that without Redknapp there just isn't the need for those extra hours so we're cutting it short."
However Redknapp has said he will be available if anyone wants a chat.
Redknapp said "I've had a couple of news channels get in touch and they say they're interested, we're sorting out the final details but it'll happen. I'm going to be driving around to services on the M25 and I'll text them clues as to where. They'll need to get there in time if they want a chat.
A spokesman for Sky Sports News said "Yeah, we're doing this. No-one wants to sit there watching the same rubbish on a continual loop all day so the demand for fresh content is high"
