Harry Redknapp tax evasion law suit
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
See this is how I think these matters should be dealt with. Avoid a prison sentence by paying the tax, plus a penalty rate, and a suspended sentence for the next 10 years with annual audits.
Because (if found guilty) he has broken the law? I don't think we should convict on personality.
I'm no law expert but that seems a rather dubious assumption. Personally I would be suspicious of the character of 90% of people who work in professional football.
And as I understand it he is not being charged for not paying tax, he is being charged with defrauding HM Revenue and Customs. So paying up with a 'sorry I'm late' note wouldn't be a just sentence if guilty. If this was some lowly bennefit cheat claiming a couple of quid a week, people would want his head on a pike but as it's SSN' very own 'Arry the millionaire football manager, he seems to get more people defending what he has been accused of doing - stealing our money.
And yes I hate Harry Redknapp. He encapsulates averything that is cheap and tacky about the game and society in general. He is a low life that is given excessive airtime and column inches purely because he excretes material that can be cheaply packaged and sold to other low life idiots. This isn't a good enough reason to send him to prison of course but like with Al Capone, if you can't get him for the big crimes get him on tax.
I honestly think he's just a bit thick, and thought he'd get away with it.
Bloody 'ell that's harsh
Like Al Capone you say? What the feck do you think 'Arry is doing in his spare time?
Do you think 'Arry's got any spare time?
He's busy driving up and down the road to the training ground shouting out transfer rumours entirely at random.

I'm pretty sure Redknapp had Svetoslav Todorov buried in cement.
Yeah, that and he's puchased a horse's head for placement in the bed of a certain Mr. Pavlyuchenko.
Who can blaim him though?

ha ha, very true. But it's all a front, what he's really doing is driving dead bodies out in his trunk.
Yeah, I thought it was something fishy when he said "yeah Pav is with some russian club, can't remember their name actually.."
Jury sent home for the day. Will continue deliberation tomorrow.
I imagine this has been covered, but do we know the likelihood of him being convicted?
Verdict imminent.
Not guilty.
Not guilty.
Both of them.
Just shouted out not guilty in the office & my Spurs supporting colleague nearly jumped out of his skin!
Common sense prevails.
Well he's still guilty of being a cnut. That's a life long verdict.
Looks like we'll be finding a new manager in the summer then.
Well I never.
Can't say I'm surprised.
Good.
Transfer Deadline Day will never be the same without him.
Although, I have to admit, he'll find it hard to sign too many players as England manager. He'll try though, no doubt.
What are the odds of Sky using him as a pundit during DLD?

I guess he's lucky he wasn't tried by the Caf
Now I just think my friends are wankers, none of them ever give me tens of thousands of pounds.
The system works.
Judge should at least convicted him to cursive lessons.

I'll be honest and say I don't have a great deal of knowledge on legal matters regarding this case, which is why I have refrained from commenting for the most part. Though when I did look at what was being reported, the prosecution's case seemed a bit shit.
I wonder what went wrong though, there were so many legal experts who sprung up from nowhere telling me Redknapp was going down.
HMRC have wasted quite a bit of taxpayer money on this.

If they ever do, make sure you put it in an account in Monaco, named after your pet dog. You wouldn't want to look suspicious.
Took the jury a while.... a 5 day case I was on only took 20 minutes to reach our verdict 
Huzzah. I am very pleased
Although this bit made me laugh
"The pair's acquittal blows the final whistle on a five-year £8m police investigation which failed to yield a single conviction."
Even if he was to be convicted, was it really fecking worth it?

8 million? What a joke.
De Gea would get a death sentence
This is it, as I understand it. They have 'Arry on tape saying that the money in question was his Crouch bonus, and that tax had been paid on it. In court, 'Arry said he was lying on the tape, and that it was actually a gift from Mandaric.
The recorded conversation was with Rob Beasley of The News of the World. 'Arry said he lied to "get him off my back." Beasley was investigating bungs.
BBC
When your whole case is based on a NOTW story then it isn't a fecking surprise that you are found not guilty.
They wasted millions of taxpayer money on a case where that was their most damning evidence. Excellent.
Why did the NOTW even bother to ask him about it? Seems like a very old fashioned way of gathering information.
Good timing for when Capello gets sacked later today.
cant have the next england manager be put in jail next to the old captain can we?
I think they already knew about it through "other" means. They were getting 'Arry's side of the story.
Very pleased about the verdict, hopefully he'll still be considered for the England job when Capello finally leaves.
Why would Harry Redknapp go to jail if he's just been found innocent in a court of law?
You buffoon.
