"No income tax No VAT,
No prem League points off Man City,
In the dock,
Face so pale,
Oh Harry Redknapp's going to jaaaaaail....."

Chorus:

God Bless HMRC
Nearly as rich as Man City
Off you go to HMP
Who`s Biting pillows
It`s Twitchy

[ashton287]

How the fuck could the football authorities allow the game to operate like this ? Whatever Harry's outcome, giving these people 'bonuses' for selling players is BEGGING for some of them to engage in corruption.

the top tenable at the FA will be receiving said 'bonuses' to allow it to happen this way I would imagine.

DAY 2 cont.
First two witnesses have appeared. Explanation of tax law from HMRC and then we heard from Nigel Layton of Premier League's Quest inquiry

Quest inquiry set up to investigate bungs in football. Nigel Layton told jury that Redknapp had voluntarily shown bank statements to Quest

Next witness we'll hear from is Rob Beasley, who when working for News of World recorded interviews with R + M about Monaco allegations

[Ted Hughes]

that would have been funny but apparantly rosie is dead.

FFS, he's had the main witness killed now ?

[Chinners]

Harry looks like one of the Banana Splits in that coat/pic

[sandman]

You know what they say about owners looking like their pets? Poor fucking mutts.

[Mase]

You know what they say about owners looking like their pets? Poor fucking mutts.

To be fair, that bulldog on the right is better looking than Harry.

[Chinners]

" Take out the trash Fleegle "

"Wotcha mean? I don't know any f****** thing abaaht no trash.. Triffic "

Ha ha Ted, changed it slightly for you ... shit, the next witness is up, back in a mo

[Chinners]

DAY 3 cont.
Jury have been played a tape of the phone conversation between Rob Beasley from News of World with Milan Mandaric

In the recording Mandaric says over and over again that the Monaco payment nothing to do with football but was investment for a friend

When Mandaric asked why no tax paid when money brought back to UK said Redknapp "could forget. He's not one of most efficient guys"

Mandaric revealed Redknapp was paid a million pounds for getting Portsmouth promoted to the Premier League

Mandaric to reporter: "Why would I give Harry a hundred thousand pounds when he got a million pounds for being promoted?"

During taped conversation reporter told Mandaric that he'd acted honourably. At that stage in dock Redknapp nudged Mandaric and smiled

Mandaric told reporter that he'd spent millions of pounds on Portsmouth. "I'm annoyed people are saying I've done something wrong"

Mandaric tells reporter that he knows Redknapp well. "People talk, people speak, but I've never found anything wrong with what Harry's done"

DAY 3 cont. (which is mainly the tape validating the points outlined by the prosecution on day 1)

The conversation between Rob Beasley and Redknapp took place the day before Redknapp was to manage Spurs on Carling Cup Final

When R asked about his defence for Monaco allegations "I don't want no f***ing... I've got nothing to defend Rob. I aint done nothing wrong"

Beasley "I wish I could leave a hundred grand lying around". Redknapp "Well I can Rob"

R "inland revenue fully aware.. If was something dodgy I'd have gone there, got the money + f***ing brought it back in f***ing briefcase"

Redknapp "Do I need 30 f***ing grand avoid 30 grand income tax? Do I need that Rob? I mean 30 f***ing grand! I'll f***ing give you 30 grand"

Redknapp "Do me a favour. I tried to nick thirty grand to save on income tax by having the money paid offshore. What a load of bollocks"

The Redknapp/RB tape has now finished and Redknapp's defence team are starting to cross examine Rob Beasley, who is giving evidence ...

[Manx Blue]

He felt victimized because of his cockney accent:

hahaha, what a joke

[Chinners]

Day 3 - Rob Beasley on the stand
Under cross examination Rob Beasley said he'd be far more afraid of News of World than police, as NOTW could publish without proof in Courts

Rob Beasley from News of World admitted paying eight thousand pounds to source who first tipped him off about Redknapp's Monaco account

Redknapp/Mandaric jury sent home for the night. Earlier start tomorrow. 0930 with a video link from Monaco!

Defence expected to have their turn next week

[Surrey Sky Blue]

Harry has just been charged with contempt..... Judge has said he must stop winking and nodding to the jury

[The Original Special One]

13.04 from the Press Association:
Redknapp said "there ain't nothing crooked in it" as the telephone conversation went on, the court heard.

"Don't say bung," Redknapp said. "It's nothing to do with a bung. It's paid by the chairman.

"How can it be a bung when the chairman of the football club paid me?"

He added: "What's a bung? It's a f****** sick word."

According to the transcript, he told Mandaric: "I don't want to have a problem with the tax man."

"They was aware of it from day one," he added.

When asked about the bonus clause in his contract, Redknapp said: "My accountant has got my contract ... I'm not going to f****** show you."

He added: "The Inland Revenue know all about it. I've got nothing to defend, Rob.

"I ain't done nothing wrong ... I ain't done nothing wrong, Rob. I got paid a bonus ... everyone is aware of it."

He later added: "Everyone knows about it, there ain't nothing crooked in it."

13.05
Trial has now broken for lunch. Will resume at 2pm.

"there ain't nothing crooked in it".
Double negative: that means "there is something crooked in it"

[The Original Special One]

When Beasley asked him whether he had paid any tax in the UK on it, Redknapp replied: "Haven't been asked to, Rob."

Had to laugh at that.

I don't think anyone will accept that he could be that naive.

Priceless
