Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is to face trial accused of tax evasion relating to his time as manager of Portsmouth Football Club.

Mr Redknapp and ex-Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric are charged with two counts of cheating the public revenue.

Two payments totalling $295,000 (about £183,000) were allegedly made by Mr Mandaric, now chairman of Sheffield Wednesday, to Mr Redknapp.

They are due to be tried at Southwark Crown Court on 23 January 2012.

The case is expected to last two weeks.

Mr Redknapp, 64, who lives in Poole, Dorset, recently underwent heart surgery to unblock coronary arteries.

He and Mr Mandaric, 73, who lives in Oadby, Leicestershire, will each face two charges relating to alleged payments to a Monaco bank account opened by Mr Redknapp.

Harry just needs to take Dave Hartnett out for dinner to the same restaurant that Vodafone took him to,  that'll sort it out.

Sounds like he's in a bit of shit judging by what has been presented in court so far.  What can he get if found guilty?

Would think this will end the chances of him being England manager if proved.

Definitely Jail, up to two years rings a bell but don't take that as gospel

[Tyrant]

Not a chance he'll be sent to jail.


If it was Kenny Dalglish however....

[Kowalski]

Cleared of all charges.

Media pushing him to be the next England manager now.............

I reckon that's why he was aquitted.

[Madbadteacher]

Hmmmm, was I being cynical or foresighted?

[baggy89]

I reckon that's why he was aquitted.

Nah he was let off once it was revealed he paid more Tax than the Huns and Diet Huns combined.

[Tyrant]

'Arry will be able to give Rangers some top advice on what lawyer to go for. For a small fee obviously.

[Superstar Tradesman]

He's been let off the hook.

Proved innocent.

Just like his old chairman.

Not guilty.

Yet everyone seems to have (conveniently?) forgotten about the dog with £200k in it's bank account.

That's normal is it?

From yesterday's Fiver:

Ever since the investigation began five years ago into deposits made by Mandaric into a Monaco bank account owned by Redknapp, the two men have been like a pair of strikers awaiting a cross from Aaron Lennon, wondering where it would go and would anyone get hurt.
