Harry's day in court

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Judgement day - or weeks. Apparently there is more to the case that can't be made public.

Hope they throw the book at the shister

Will probably end up with a slap on the hand and be told not to do it again. Basteward!

Former Hammers boss Harry Redknapp will stand trial next January over tax evasion charges.

64-year-old Redknapp, who both played for and managed the Hammers during a lengthy and colourful career faces the very real prospect of a custodial sentence should he be found guilty.

The current manager of Tottenham Hotspur has long been asssociated with the murkier side of football but was thought to be untouchable by many.

However that would now appear not to be the case and Redknapp - who was widely-tipped to be the next manager of England - will face trial over charges relating to his time as manager of Portsmouth FC along with former Portsmouth owner Milan Mandaric.

Redknapp's indictment

Count one: Milan Mandaric and Henry James Redknapp, between the 1st day of April 2002 and the 28th day of Nov 2007, at the material times respectively the Chairman and the Football Manager of Portsmouth City Football Club Limited, with intent to defraud and to the prejudice of HM Revenue and Customs, arranged for $145,000, paid by Milan Mandaric as a result of or in connection with Henry James Redknapp’s employment and as a reward for services, to be transferred to a Monaco bank account opened by Henry James Redknapp for that purpose, in order to conceal the said emolument from HM Revenue and Customs and evade the payment of Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions thereon (whether by the operation of PAYE by the club or otherwise).

Count two: Milan Mandaric, between the 1st day of May 2004 and the 28th day of November 2007, at the material times the Chairman and the Football Manager of Portsmouth City Football Club Limited, with intent to defraud and to the prejudice of HM Revenue and Customs, arranged for $150,000, paid by Milan Mandaric as a result of or in connection with Henry James Redknapp’s employment and as a reward for services, to be transferred to a Monaco bank account opened by Henry James Redknapp for that purpose, in order to conceal the said employment income from HM Revenue and Customs and evade the payment of Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions thereon (whether by the operation of PAYE by the club or otherwise).

I hope this Avatar is what you was hinting at JK

These are the comments I found on itbs. Read into it what you will!


There was another case that was the cause of the reporting restrictions.

Presumably that case is now concluded, so this one can be reported.


Conspicuously, the result of that case does not seem to have hit the
headlines, suggesting that to do so would prejudice this case.


Tread carefully: contempt of court is a serious business.

Even my dole money is taxable, and me, who has nothing, has to pay it! You're a greedy bastard Twitch, and I hope you come a cropper......BIG TIME

Thought you were working for Asda these days Pam??

Sky had a tiny-weeny banner running across the screen on Saturday night, other than that not a bloody dicky-bird out of them. Its got nothing to do with prejudicing the case, at least that hasn’t worried them in the past. He is the ‘darling’ of the press and they still cant say anything negative about him.

The Yanks got Capone on tax evasion

I am Dave.......my dole money is added to my taxable earnings for the year. That may mean it counts towards my earnings, not that I am actually taxed on it.
