Harry Redknapp trial

[ChesterDave]

Judge's summing up suggests Redknapp is previously of good character - if we ignore him being caught on camera by Panorama...

[ChesterDave]

I'm only talking 2 or 3 seasons more, think he could do that and still get the job.

Fergie will still be managing then. Craig Brown managing at 70 also, and England would suit Arry at a healthy 67yrs old imo.

Just don't see him leaving Spurs after this season, it's all quite feasible really.

If he is appointed in 3 years then it will be for the 2016 Euro qualifying campaign and will be 70 leading us to the next world cup. If they appoint Harry its terribly backward thinking.

Its why England will always fail - the crap English managers keep getting gigs and signing the same crap players that got them the sack from their former club.

So few have the guts to try something new

Stinks alright

Way is clear for the England job now. Good timing.

HMRC have announced that following the verdict in favour of Harry Redknapp, Rossie the dog will be standing trial in October for tax evasion after serious questions have arised about her bank account. * *

Serious? No white text.

My judgement is admittedly clouded by the red mist that 'Arry provides, so I can understand Alex's point of view, in the sense he has been found 'not guilty' by a court of law and I'm ok with that. Just. What I can't get my head around, is why he would open a bank account for such a small amount (in relation to what he has earned) and put it in an account name that is mysterious at best.

I think the more pertinent question is not that he has evaded paying income tax, but what in the blue jebus was he trying to do (or hide)?

The only reason a person opening an offshore account would have, is to avoid paying taxes. Why else would he have done it.

There just wasn't any proof to show he didn't pay tax.

Even mentions false nines...

[focusedonfootball]

It seems the only thing they could pin on him was that he lied to the NOTW. These days this isn't a crime its a civic duty.

Seems a bit strange that Arry was odds on for the England job, and now all of a sudden they approach Hodgson.

Do you reckon his dodgy past has caught up with him? Something seems a bit fishy about this one.

[dom9]

I think it's down to Hodgson being cheaper. It's the only feasible explanation I can think of.

Say what you like about Spurs, that Levy is one hard *******. Nobody leaves unless it's on his terms.

[lickedlollipop]

it's strange, yes. i think tottenheim fall apart just because it was nailed that he'll become england's manager, but now ... i don't know what's the reason. he is the best choice IMO.

I cant see finance having a bearing on the FA's decision. Capello was the worlds highest paid manager, so they're not shy to spend big money where they need to.

No I just think the FA are total ****wits

In all seriousness I think its a case of jobs for the boys with the FA and Roy fits their remit in that regards. Hes old school and he'll be their human shield once more when it goes tits up

I have got a feeling they are feeling the pinch.

[dww]

To be honest I'm not either Harry or Roy represent great options but they are perhaps the best `experienced' English candidates. Harry's ability to get caught up in all sorts of dubiousness has to have counted against him.
