Harry Redknapp trial

[baronvonskidmark]

Considering he's bang to rights, he's actually playing quite a clever game.

'These nasty men are picking on me and I'm just a humble simpleton, members of the jury please take note, they're picking on me'.

I guess that's true. But it just seems ridiculous that a grown man, who wants to be manager of the national football team, is worried about someone 'staring' at him.

Not a great day, just got in and my accountant hasn't done my bangers and mash. The house hasn't been hoovered either! I'm gonna bung him

Worst case scenario is going to jail. So it's hardly ridiculous that he'll do whatever it takes to avoid that.

His defence is pathetic.

"if anything I'd rather pay too much tax"

Haha course you would Harry, course you would. I mean who wouldn't, you know - just in case?

[Craig_H]

I thought he said "If anything, i've paid too much tax, not too little" ?

Didnt think there was mention of 'rather' in there.

Biggest letdown was the post match interview after Spurs game last night, the reporter missed the opportunity to ask him if the complacency that sometimes crops up when you play a lesser side might have led to a more taxing evening than he would've wanted.

No he actually said rather

The Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp, has told the jury trying him on allegations of tax evasion that he has always paid his taxes, and would rather overpay than underpay them.

Asked about his attitude to tax by his barrister, John Kelsey-Fry QC, Redknapp said: "I have always paid my tax. I have always gone to the best available people."

He said he employed a top London accounting firm to look after his financial affairs, adding: "I would rather pay too much tax than not enough tax." Link

He is totally going to talk himself into jail. Complete muppet. As you mention if he'd rather pay too much tax, it kind of negates the need for the top London Accounting firm. If he'd rather over pay, I'll file his tax returns

[Craig_H]

I think he's banking on the simpleton routine to keep him out of jail.

But how does he know? I thought he previously claimed he had no idea how much money he made, and was basically as think as pig ****.

Even Hodgson couldn't talk this much ****.

@Pearcesport

Pros ask Redknapp if money wasn't a bonus then why did he tell News of World "That money was a bonus paid to me for selling a player"

Redknapp says not important if he tells truth to News ofWorld, only needs to tell truth to police

Redknapp tells jury that what he said to News of World was "all a story" and "I wanted to get him off the phone"

Prosecution: News of World reporter "caught you out MrRedknapp. You decided to speak to him and let the cat out of the bag"

Pearcesport James Pearce
Redknapp shows frustration with prosecution: "Do you think that me + Mr Mandaric are going to have 2 different stories? Are we that stupid?"

[Lee]

He's ****ing bang to rights ffs.

[Phoenix07]

You can tell that the prosecution are having a field day with this. Redknapp is crumbling in front of their eyes. That last line from James Pearce about Redknapp and Mandaric's stories proves it.
