Redknapp Predictions Thread

Should get the verdict just after 2ish today.

My prediction is guilty with a suspended jail sentence thus ruining his chances of managing England.

I'll boringly go with exactly the same. Can't see a custodial sentence but the evidence seems pretty compelling - suspended sentence it is.

I've permed 3 to go down this season. Wigan, Redknapp and Terry.

hang on, didnt lester  piggot and ken dodd go down for tax evasion. you cant split rules everywhere.
saying that, am sure paper bags and off shore accounts werent rife all those years ago.

was that harrys cat that ran on the pitch last night? maybe he's got an account for him too!
(though rumours are rife that man city put a bid in for it! : source - fur fur two)

Guilty sentenced to two years in an iron maiden hanging on a wooden post just off Donna Nook

He won't get sent down, it's all corrupt, he'll be fine

He will be sent to a Monaco Palace....I mean prison for a holiday, erm I mean for his sentence of 3 weeks  

Quoted from danny pacquiao

He won't get sent down, it's all corrupt, he'll be fine(d)

Yes.

Not guilty.

Jesus if he is found not guilty he has the best lawyer since OJ Simpson. Nearly everything he said, dug a deeper hole  

My old man spent 40 odd years as a tax investigator and he reckons hes going down for a short stretch. probably an open prison holiday camp job. Harry will love it.
And yes Lester Pigott went down for it but Doddy was found not guilty i think. Certainly didnt do time.

He'll blame the dog and the dog will hang !

So, suspended sentence !

The dog will appeal it's ruff justice, and Harry will take undeclared compo in dog biscuits !!

He'll get Bale !

lol

Quoted from Caveman

He'll get Bale !

Good job he isn't at Blackburn, or he'd get Dunn for his crime  

to late, as the problem arose when he got cort

He'll be alright he just has to join the tory party. bung em a few bob and he'll get a knighthood for services to tax evasion.

Quoted from acko338

I did nothing!

Won't find out till tomorrow. Jury returning at 10am.

Maybe it's to give 'Arry time to transfer a few grand into each of their bank accounts.  

Hope he gets off IMO, he's paid millions in tax where as most of the UKs doleys have never contributed ever..

And I like him.

You could be the next Tory Chancellor with that kind of logic.

Not guilty

Quoted from Les Brechin

Just so you know, the maximum sentence that John Terry can get is £2500 fine.

It's not even at a crown court it's at a magistrates.

So basically the same as if it was someone else accused of the crime then?

Quoted from Abdul19

Exactly, makes me laugh when there are people saying he is going to get sent down.

Guilty. Given two years of enforced attendance at Scunny games.

Quoted from GrimRob

OUCH! would spend 2 years behind bars !

Deportation to Australia to manage Hockless and co (do we still do that)?

Verdict due any second...

Not Guilty (both of them)

Boo!

Not guilty!!

unbelievable! (both the verdict and harry's defence!)

He has got off by basically admitting to the world he is an imbecile with the brain capacity of a child. Better than jail I guess.

Be perfect for the England job then! LOL

Does that enhance the chances of the England job ?

Remind me to not ask you for anymore predictions lol

Hard to predict what a jury is going to say! The fact the jury don't accept the money was not a bonus says it all!

Expect HMRC to appeal anyway.

Well you started the prediction thread  

I hate HMRC always picking on Football Clubs etc and Taxi Drivers ! LOL

O J Simpson all over again

Glad he has got off as in my many dealings with HMRC the majority are complete and utter fwckwits.

Quoted from GrimRob

O J Simpson all over again

Just my luck I missed the car chase.

Complete waste of everybody's time. They were chasing him for about £100k but this case has cost the taxpayer £8m. That's roughly what Harry has paid in income tax over the last few years. HMRC clowns.

Yes, it's the economics of the madhouse. You couldn't make it up.

I knew Harry was innocent. . . . . . just like O.J. Simpson!

Next England manager with out doubt at least the sqaud would listen to him also IMHO he as done a very good job at Spurs UTMM.

he has done a blinding job at spurs. . . . I think he should be dead cert to be offerred the england job . . . . I think he would be mad to take it though!

Apparently, members of the press in court were pissing themselves laughing when he claimed, "I've never even sent a text message". Most of them had texts from him stored in their phones at the time!

I have seen evidence that yhe is competent on a wii aswell!!!

Harry Redknapp’s dog has described her five year sentence for tax evasion as “feeling like I’ve had my nose rubbed in it”.
Reclusive bone-fan Rosie was found guilty of having an undeclared bank account in Monaco, but maintains her innocence.
“I’m not the most financially astute dumb animal”, claimed Rosie. “You could say I have no concept of money. Normally when my owner gives me a cheque for £180,000, I tear it to pieces or bury it in the garden.
“I have no idea how this one slipped through my paws and ended up in a tax-efficient savings account.
“Also, a five stretch is a very harsh sentence if you convert it into dog years.”
Harry Redknapp has distanced himself from his former pet, claiming her behaviour is a bad influence on him.
“First she craps in my slippers, then she tries to defraud Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs officers”, declared Redknapp. “I’ve a good mind to sell her to Wigan”.
Passing sentence on the greedy female dog, Justice Timmins said he had no choice but to lock her up, in case she tried appealing to the upper chamber with her big, brown eyes.
“Bad doggy”, declared Timmins. “Baaad, baaad doggy.”
Rosie asked for two other cases of rolling in fox excrement to be taken into consideration

It is a difficult one as in hindsight it seems a waste of time and money and harry clearly contributes masses to the public purse. It doesn't mean he shouldn't be brought to book though if hmrc feel he has evaded tax,  whether that amount is 1k or 500k. Presumably the cps must have thought there was a case too?

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

hang on, didnt lester  piggot and ken dodd go down for tax evasion.

Bit late i know, but Kenneth Arthur Dodd got off with it.
I agree with other posters on here that the cost of bringing this to trial was a joke, Besides, how many Jurors are you likely to find these days that have any sympathy with the Taxman.

Good verdict IMO not because its right, just like the bloke.

Like I said before HR has contributed his fair share of tax, thats not the point I know but these rose tinted glasses are awesome

Was Redknapp guilty ?

Personally I thought not and had sympathy until I heard the conversation between him and the NOTW bloke - didn't he say would sue if anything else was printed contrary to the apparent lie he gave to NOTW ?

I accept it's not proof but it makes you wonder...

To me, something just doesn't ring quite true about the poor little victimised Harry tag that's been put out.

This.

Couldn't believe it when I heard how much the case cost.  £8m of taxpayers money to chase £100k of taxpayers (allegedly) money.  flipping ridiculous, no wonder this country is up excrement creek.

Ignoring whether he was guilty or not, how can it possibly be in the "public interest" to pursue such a case?

Quoted from cleefish

He's done a fantastic job at Spurs.  One of the few teams in the prem I'd intentionally watch.

You could apply that to lots of justice in this country though. Where do you draw the line? I would say if you only prosecuted cases that brought value for money the majority of cases wouldn't be pursued.

I see where you're coming from, but it just seems barmy to me.

Quoted from LeightonMariner

Likewise. I love to see teams with proper wingers and full backs that push on. So simple but seemingly lost on hallf of these tactical geniuses masquerading as football managers nowadays. Spurs midfield is absolutely class.

Quoted from LeightonMariner

But is it just a flash in the pan? I suspect next season Spurs will become also-rans, even with Redknapp in charge. As a manager his record leaves much to be desired; his best success was FA Cup winner with a club that nearly bankrupted itself in the process.

I know people will quote Alf Ramsey's record before becoming England manager. However he didn't have to manage a team of overpaid egotistical prima donnas. It is not just the manager that needs changing, it is the attitude of those who play the professional game at its' highest level.

No doubt it is. You've gotta ask how these figures get so inflated haven't you? I guess HMRC and it's bloated incompetence + expensive financial lawyers milking it + harry's top drawer brief X 5 years = £8M

8m costs eh. I bet both sets of barristers are are the bar now sipping their champers. I think I'd like to come back as a legal eagle as it must be urine easy to make money in this copulated up country

Yes I agree, but it's the way they play that I like.  Whether they can play like that minus Modric is an open question but Harry has to take credit for turning a club that always played proper football into serious contenders.
