Redknapp and the jury's out (merged) ** NOT GUILTY**

[Leekbrookgull]

Come on lads and lasses,which way will this go ? Guilty,with a fine and 200 hour community service order at Arsenal !!

 

[pasty]

Get off scott free and will be England manager by the end of this week.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

Let him go free. Get him in the England hot seat now and tell that Italian twat to finally f*** off and return to being the postman he truly is!

 

[sydney]

i reckon he'll blag it ,get a fine and pay the tax owing on the amount in question and a twelve minute speech from justice winklebreath or whatever his name is....about being an example to society.

 

[Albion Dan]

3 Months in the Clink!

[Neil]

throw the book at him

 

[Tricky Dicky]

He'll be found innocent. I was going to say "get away with it" but that would imply guilt or mistrust of the British legal system.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

They should not take too long to find him guilty.

 

[sydney]

throw the book at him

which book ,beckham's book , tony adams's or perhaps some shakespear or a mr meddle....

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Depends if there's any Spurs fans on the jury.

 

[ROSM]

here's the question. If he gets locked up and is still inside when terry's* case comes round, do you think he'd pick him as captain?



* yes I know that Terry's is likely to be a max 2500gbp fine but just give me some comedic license

 

[Gritt23]

and tell that Italian twat to finally f*** off and return to being the postman he truly is!

Yeah, I mean what has Capello ever done in football management.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

which book ,beckham's book , tony adams's or perhaps some shakespear or a mr meddle....

I would suggest something Dickensian would be appropriate on his birthday (and he lived in the Porstmouth area, so brings it right up to date with the dealings in hand).

 

[Dorset Seagull]

He's going to walk...they love a loveable rogue!

 

[Scoffers]

My guess is that he'll be found guilty. The evidence against him is compelling and his only defence seems to be that he has paid millions in tax, so why would he dodge a 30k payment, unless I missed something (which is, of course, entirely probable!)

 

[Manx Shearwater]

He's a little bit whoooooooah, he's a little bit wheeeeey, he's a GEEZER!!

I want him guilty though, Roy Hodgson as England manager has waaaaaay more comedic potential than 'Arry.

 

[matthew]

Anyone else would be found guilty but i bet he's hired such good lawyers that he'll get off

Is it really just a 30k payment? That does seem odd that he'd skip such a small one (unless there's a whole lot more that the HMRC haven't found yet).

 

[Gwylan]

If he is found not guilty, it could have serious ramifications for HMRC. As British law is based on case law (ie what happens in one case has bearings on future cases) It would establish the principle that someone's employer could pay a bonus and if the employer said that it was a gift, then no tax would be paid on it. HMRC could be looking at losing a lot of money over this.
