[Damocles]

A football manager who can't do paperwork and wants to now take on the England job?

'Triffic. Shining example to kids he is.

A jury heard on Wednesday that he had told Nigel Layton from the firm Quest, which was conducting the investigation into alleged "bungs" associated with Premiership transfers, that a friend had told him: "Harry, I can't believe it's always you. The problem with you is you're named Harry and you have a cockney accent."

"People don't know me," Redknapp had continued, "and I'm getting sick and tired of it …"

The trouble is 'Arry, people DO know you and they've been wondering just how you've got away with it for so long.

What do you reckon p.b your into the numbers game..

Is he going to be charged?

He has been charged cookie. I assume you mean convicted?

You can never tell with a jury tbh. I've never done it but my dad has and he said that the VAT fraud trial he sat on, the guys had obviously done it but the prosecution failed to make their case properly so had to find them not guilty.

Harry's defence is clearly going to be along the lines of I'm a chirpy little cockney and so everyone assumes I'm a bit of a jack-the-lad. Also all my life has been football and I'm not an accountant and aren;t clever enough to keep track of my affairs or know who I should be telling about what.

I did mean convicted pal..

He is certainly spinning some shit out..just been on sky that his accountant told him the sun havnt payed you for 18 months for the articles he writes & he said he never knew..

I just cant see that.

 

[laserblue]

it seems to me (correct me if i'm wrong) that 'arry's defence is that mandaric was entirely responsible while mandaric's defence is that 'arry's solely responsible. i get the impression that their respective counsels will soon be going all out to drop each other's client in the shit.

i'm just nipping out to stock up on popcorn...

He has quite an elaborate signature for one that's writes like a 2 year old.

It's whether the jury sees it. They can and will be swayed by the performance of the respective briefs. He's trying to paint a picture of a man who isn't money oriented and who has little or no personal control over his affairs. "I 'ad no idea what was goin' on yer 'onour. Just a simple East End lad me. Me dad gave 'is wage packet to me mam every week." Etc.

The thing is though, given the relatively small sums involved, you'd normally expect it not to come to court, as it's easier and more cost effective to just get the back tax and penalties. You wouldn't spend more money than you're likely to get back. So I'd guess they're keen to make an example of him for some reason, maybe to frighten him into being a little more co-operative about other shit he's pulled like this that they're less sure of their ground on.

They've also been putting a lot of effort into tackling offshore accounts that haven't been declared so what better way to publicise it than a high-profile trial. The risk is it goes tits up and he walks but you would think they're fairly sure of their ground here.

So he flew to Monaco, opened a bank account (in his dog's name), then Mandaric deposited £300k and Harry forgot to tell his accountant about it

How can you open an account in your dog's name and forget about it?

He is guilty, but as PB says, it's all about the way the prosecution proves their case
