Guilty.... Not Guilty..... Don't really care. I would still want him appointed England manager this week.

Isn't it generally the case that the richest amongst us pay proportionately the least taxes anyway, because they can afford to pay top accountants to weasel the system. Therefore they clearly DO care about taxes. Personally, if someone offered to save me £30,000 in tax, I think I'd be saying yes no matter how rich I was (legally, of course).

I have always wanted an English manager myself, feel very strongly about it, but in no way does that view make Capello a "twat" in my opinion.
Oh yeah of course but it would still make you a greedy fucker.

Of course
My point being that you don't get to be as rich as Harry if you don't worry about the occasional £30,000.
Yeah and in my opinion still make the best pans. However, that's just cos I like the little red spot that changes colour.

On the one hand I feel he should be guilty, especially in the current climate of bashing anyone who gets a 'bonus' or cleverly hides money from the taxman. Plus the uneasy feeling that anyone so closely associated with Pompey's dodgy finances must be bent.
On the other hand I suspect that Harry's barristers will have done such a good job that he will be acquitted and commended by the Judge for being such a good allround geezer. Meanwhile Rosie 47 will go down for a 10 stretch for fitting up his master.

In 30 years of football management what has Redknapp achieved though? He's taken some teams up with (generally) a huge financial advantage, he won Pompey the FA Cup and bankrupted them in the process and fair play he has done well at Spurs but I'd expect a bit more from a good manager over such a long period of time.
Maybe we could get some of some of those black twats in the team to f*** off as well?*
*I think we all know the point I am making here, before the board explodes with rage at me.
Of course

So it's still all about greed, when is enough enough?? 20, 30, 40 million at what point do you say it's only 30k just pay it, it's the world we live in now that it's never enough.
Luis figo for example. must of made fortunes in his playing career yet still feels the need to do adverts for 'just for men' does he need the money? did he do it for nothing? i think not.

On top of this, wasn't there a suggestion that in fact his accounts are dodgy as shit, and in fact HMRC have simply picked the most cast iron case that they had. I wonder whether, if he's found guilty, they'll use it as an excuse to get forensic accountants in and try to pin some more on him.
For me, he's guilty. Apparently they weeded Spurs fans off the jury, so he shouldn't gain any advantage from that, and the way it's been painted in the media he has no defence besides 'I'm a bit thick guv, honest'.
No, some are handbag snatchers and some are bottom pinchers.

I think that's where the Judge's summing up was going.
HMRC has a real torrid relationship with Football given the way clubs seem quite able to avoid paying them whenever they feel like it and if this goes against them then I wonder where they will focus next?

Would be nice (given that they're chasing £30k from Redknapp) to think they'd go after the millions owed to them- and us- by one of his old clubs

Unfortunately for Redknapp, despite being 'thick', he omitted to tell his account about this Monaco account. Convenient, that...

Hmmm. Do you know where the HMRC challenge to the FL's Preferential Football Creditor Rule ended up? I know it was in court in late November last year but haven't been able to find the outcome.
