@Adam Leventhal has just tweeted
Harry Redknapp, Peter Storrie and Milan Mandaric failed bids to have charges of tax evasion dropped. Will stand trial later this year
what will or should happen to these???
-
Depends if they're guilty I suppose.
-
good...
if guilty, i hope they throw the book at them...
although it would probably get lost in one of the folds on redknobbs face...
-
If guilty it will be a custodial sentence surely
Oh Dear poor Spurs.Let's hope the judge is a gooner
-
Lengthy jail terms for all.
*praying smiley thing*

"Dairnyul came in an sez 'ju loyak prizz'n' an I sez yeeeaaaauuurrrrgghhh....erm, naaaaaaaaaaah, we're not intrestid in prizz'n, nah. I shudunt fink anyfink will be airppnin wiv dat one, nah."
-
Justice Corner Thread Special.
-
Bring back the birch
Either that or public flogging
-
Not a good news day for Spuds releated things.
-
That will screw up his chances of taking over from capello if found guilty.
-
Hang the bastards.

Haha - gets me every time.
If guilty I'd be amazed if they get a jail sentence purely because they will have expensive lawyers. However, it will properly and permanently tarnish the reputation of those involved and Arry won't be able to 'laugh-off' or indeed get upperty when called a wheeler dealer again.
-
If guilty will Levy sack him?
-
Sentencing guidelines say 6 weeks to 12 months (with a starting point of 26 weeks) for a single offence of between 20k and 100k. Redknapp allegedly evaded 40k of tax.
Send him down, your honour!
-
Hang the bastards.
From the stands at the Olympic Stadium!
-
I hope the twitching fuck goes to prison for a long time
-
Not lovable honest Arry surely. Wouldn't suprise me he ended up back at the Hammers with the other that other lovable honest lot.
-

Sorry but Im proud that in our country we are civilised enough to have abolished the death penalty.
So, make him follow his new best friend Beckham back to the States. They can give him the electric chair, let him fry!
-
if they get them on the tax issue, it will be interesting to see how ther police deal with the sources of these funds they did not declare, i cant imagine why bthey were not declared ;)
-
I wish him good luck...cheating (allegedly) bastard!

Didn't have to kill them - just leave them hanging there watching West Ham !

... so if Mandaric has faced these charges for some time (i think he's been on bail for around 12 months to the court and longer to the police station) how on earth did he pass the FA "fit and proper person" test to buy Sheff Wed?
-
You've answered your own question. It's the 'FA' Fit and Proper test. If the FA ran the Mensa membership exams, your average Bluenose would pass with flying colours.

The daft beggars are acting on the old innocent till proven guilty principle.

So the business dealings and tax affairs of a prosepective owner are not investigated then Villadawg? Doesnt have to be criminal but as a court has held that there is sufficient evidence to go before a jury (they do this on a there is a provable not a proven case and that a jury could convict on the evindece not would convict) then there must be some evidence of issues at least?? Due dilligence or something like that ...

I'm pretty sure that would compromise any trial would it not?
-
Why would it prejudice the trial? If charged with an offence am I allowed to carry on business activities unchecked? Especially if it is the same type of business activity? and arent the negotiations for the purchase of football clubs conducted in private (or perhaps that should be "shouldnt they"?) and the checks by a regulating body also carried out in private? So why - unless the defendant who has no reason to let it out as he is the one being prejudiced and would shout from the tree tops if the prosecution tried to get it in or the FA who must be bound by confidentiality- mention it?
Incidentally as to attempts to influence trials Arry saying he would love to manage England and spread all over the fawning press is pretty good attempt I suggest...
incidentally how many clubs that have been associated with Arry have gone bust or very close to administration??
-
Why would it prejudice the trial?
Because if you have a second body doing their own investigation into something that somebody has been charged with then surely you risk affecting the outcome.
-
But the FA must have done what they should have when he bought Sheff W and wouldnt that prejudice the prosecution if it is allowed? Prejudice is a two way street surely? The investigation must have been conducted or the FA are inn breach of their rules
-
If MPs are not above the law and can go to prison for fiddling expenses surely football people can be accountable as well.
-
Please please please jail these twats. The world would be a much better place. Side note, I don't know why but every single time I see Droopy from Tom & Jerry Kids, reminds me so much of Arry. Both look EXACTLY the same its almost frightening.
