This whole case makes you puke, since when has "Ignorance" or "Illiteracy" been a defence in a case against the Inland Revenue or in fact in ANY criminal case? This guy is as canny as they come, his "Defence" is a tissue of lies and I bet he actually knows where every last penny he owns is banked and or hidden at any moment in time, I can't believe the prosecution barrister couldn't have torn him apart, he must have been crap!

The only good thing is that others will now be able to use the, "Rednapp defence" when confronted by the Inland revenue. So folks next time you are being investigated just say, "I don't 'ave a fuckin' clue about anything matey, cos I'm a dumb fuck, so do ya worst!" and you should be aquitted of all charges!

He got off cause he could afford a great lawyer to defend him. He took bungs and they painted him an idiot. I think the jury probably believed he got the money but were swayed to believe he was such an idiot he didn't know!

From what I heard of the judge's direction to the jury it was never going to be a guilty verdict.

Some time ago the police became aware that juries were returning perverse verdicts when the accused was obviously guilty and it became apparent that the juries were doing so as a way of getting back at the police for perceived injustices - speeding tickets, parking fines, "hate crimes", etc.

What's the betting that this jury was always going to find Redknapp not guilty rather than finding in favour of HMRC? When the public sees the tax people chasing after the little man, and letting Vodafone and the like off billions what better way to stick two fingers up at Dodgy Dave Hartnett and his mates than finding against them in a high profile case.

For what it's worth, I believe as David Johnson says Redknapp was as guilty as sin...

Well you got to blame HMRC. 5 years and ?8 Million later they still couldn't produce evidence a jury would believe. !shrug! Poor Arry can't read, write or even find Monaco on a map. I know nuffin! Don't be cruel to dumb animals!

Arry for England!

This. From what I've read, it was a very weak case, one which was so weak that (if what I've read on another forum) couldn't even convince two Arsenal supporting jurors to find him guilty.

Cry God for Harry, England and St. George!

Just remind me what the penalty for an illegal immigrant mowing down a kid, with no driving licence or insurance, Mr Rodders?

Agreed, Jim

What I think is even more sickening is how easy a ride Redknapp has had in the press about the detail in this case.

I suspect all sports reporters realise that with Harry the no 1 candidate for England manager, a word out of line in a newspaper will result in no interviews ever again.

The Ferguson approach to getting criticism in other words.

Obviously, I wasn't in court but taking nearly two hundred grand to Monaco and putting it in a bank account opened in your dog's name and not telling your accountant seems a pretty open and shut case to me.

People should be looking at the useless incompetent Taxman who fucks up time and time again costing us all billions.

The case against Redknapp and Mandaric was
mainly based on evidence collected by the News of the World. !laugh! Oh well don't worry the tax payer will pick up the ?8 million bill.
