could not have happened to a more corrupt individual.

Its taken one heck of a time to get to Court. One assumes the IR have built up a very strong case.
If he's guilty he will presumably be sent down. If a Labour MP can get sent down over 14k then Redknapp may well be spending time doing Porridge.

Let's hope that the saggy-faced crook goes down.

Wonder if the judge will let him off just like the media do all because the saggy faced old c**ter is 'a bit of a character'?

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has failed in his bid to get a charge of tax evasion dropped, alongside his former Portsmouth bosses Peter Storrie and Milan Mandaric.

The three men will stand trial later this year, with Redknapp and former owner Mandaric facing charges relating to their alleged evasion of public revenue payments of around £40,000 and former chief executive Storrie with evading tax in relation to Portsmouth midfielder Eyal Berkovic's contract termination fee in an unconnected case.

Redknapp, 62, has insisted that ''I have done nothing wrong'', but was brought before a Magistrates court in February of last year because of two payments totalling £189,000 allegedly made by Mr Mandaric to him via a Monaco bank account.

The prosecution claims that he evaded tax and national insurance contributions between April 1, 2002 and November 28, 2007, while Storrie, 58, is accused of making an offshore payment to terminate Berkovic's contract on which no tax was declared or paid.

Redknapp will stand trial in July at Southwark Crown court, while Storrie's case will be heard in May.

He'll be twitching like a gooden when being grilled in court

He'll be twitching even more when big Dave from A wing slips in sans lube

Ooh matron.

Is he going to claim not to be a wheeler-dealer while under oath?

[Ian Royal]

I really really hope he gets taken to the cleaners. Everyone in football knows he's utterly corrupt.

[roadrunner]

For all Redknapp's millions, he gets caught for fiddling thousands. He deserves everything he gets, but I wont hold my breath that he goes down for it. People like Redknapp (and there's plenty of them in football - sport in general), and football clubs like Portsmouth just seem to get away with things when they look nailed on for the most severest punishment.

Justice would be a year or two behind bars. Justice for Portsmouth should have been them being desolved and removed from the football league.
