Zammo Lester Piggott went down for a similar offence. Don't think it matters how famous you are if you start fcuking over the Inland Revenue.


Had completely forgotten about that! Did he use his accent as a defence too?

Mr A, thanks for the details provided. It doesn't sound good for him does it!


As I said, the wife works in Tax Accounting; even her Spurs-mad colleague reckons 'Arry is going down for this.

What everyone has to realise is that HMRC are relentless; if you have been evading tax and they fiund out, they will put together an utterly water-tight case BEFORE presenting in to the CPS, In other words, if the case comes to trial, they are as positive as they can be of their data and evidence and, whilst I can't find the figures to back this assumption up, I suspect that the % success rate of court cases that they bring is very, very high.

I remember this one. The IR were desperate for Lester to pay anything what with him being the Queen's jockey. Sadly for Lester, he sent them a cheque but from an account the IR knew nothing about. They had no choice but to prosecute :lol:

Uke "You talk to anybody at the football club. I don't write. I couldn't even fill a team sheet in."

Only been a football manager for 29 years though Harry...


I've always thought Harry wasn't that bright on paperwork. Anyone remember when he played a player in the FA cup who had played in an earlier round while on loan? That was bad enough, but Harry blamed the player for not telling him and kicked him out of the club. I would have expected the manager to know, and if he didn't know, to check.

*

On a different point, one thing I'm wondering is if Harry got a sell-on fee from players he bought for Portsmouth even after he left the club. Because I remember he bought Defoe, Crouch and Krancjar for Spurs, saying that he was "helping them out"--them being Pompey, whom it was already clear he'd let in the lurch. Could he actually have been helping himself out?

As I said, the wife works in Tax Accounting; even her Spurs-mad colleague reckons 'Arry is going down for this.

What everyone has to realise is that HMRC are relentless; if you have been evading tax and they fiund out, they will put together an utterly water-tight case BEFORE presenting in to the CPS, In other words, if the case comes to trial, they are as positive as they can be of their data and evidence and, whilst I can't find the figures to back this assumption up, I suspect that the % success rate of court cases that they bring is very, very high.


Plus HMRC are absolutely out to get football and everyone in it. They hate the Football Creditors Rule and the sums they've lost to football clubs, so agree with all of that - they'll be ruthless and relentness.

And good luck to them - it's our money we're talking about.

Which is why Harry's lawyers are using essentially the same defence as Doddy did, while shafting Mandaric

However, when Mandaric's lawyers present their case expect them to shaft Harry...

I think he'll get off.

His lawyers are playing a very clever game where they are triangulating every element of this case between Harry, his accountant and Mandaric.

Be difficult to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt of his guilt.

Also bear in mind this jury will be bored to tears by now. The longer these cases go on, the harder it is to get a conviction from a jury.

Selfishly I want him to get off as he's the best choice for next England manager we have!

1. Did Mr Redknapp set up an offshore account named Rosie47? YES
2. Did Mr Redknapp put money to the value of approx. £300K into this account? YES
3. When did Mr Redknapp declare this account to HMRC? 2 Months AFTER being arrested for tax evasion
4. Did Mr Redknapp pay income tax on the money deposited into this account? NO

Open and shut.

But he can't read, write, count? It's all his accountants fault. Admin error.
