Jury Still Not Sure Whether Or Not Harry Redknapp Is A Tax Evader

He can't even spell "Jamie Redknapp".

Harry Redknapp still might or might not go to jail. He still might or might not be a tax evader. We say this because, after four hours of deliberations, the jury has been sent home to sleep on it. Presumably, this means that the jury is not totally convinced one way or the other. Harry Redknapp could still go to jail or not go to jail. He'll probably owe the government a bunch of money no matter what.

During this trial, we have learned some awesome things. We learned that Harry does not know how to read and cannot fill out the team sheet by himself. He knew that everyone in the country had to pay income tax, but apparently didn't know exactly what constitutes "income" and what is "taxed". He said he would pay all of the taxes he supposedly owes.

We've also learned that Milan Mandaric and Harry Redknapp are weird guys, and that they had a weird professional relationship. I have no idea what, if anything, any of this crap has to do with Harry Redknapp's chances of staying out of prison. I was on vacation when the trial started and I know nothing about British law.

As of tomorrow, we could be looking for a new manager. Or we could be all back to normal.

Is it ok to ask hypothetically*

who you would have as a replacement for Harry should he prove to be an evil tax evader?

Funny you should ask!

Ryan and I are planning a four-part series on potential hires. But SPOILER ALERT my first realistic choice is Valencia manager Unai Emery.

Half kidding

That’s not actually racist. I know he was kidding. I’m not getting mad about it. But come on, we’re so much smarter than “WELL OUR LAST SPANISH COACH SUCKED!”

Also look

at AVB’s relative failure so far…perhaps continental managers aren’t suited as well for the English game? At least take some adjusting anyway.

Much better.

I can at least theoretically support that choice

Sigh.

Rafael Benitez won the Champions League. Also, Arsene Wenger. Also, Jose Mourinho. Come on man. This isn’t any different than being racist.

Won’t tell you how we categorize him, though. Suspense!

Why are Redknapp and Mandaric being tried together?

Or could the jury find one innocent and one guilty? It seems difficult for the jury when Mandaric claims the payment was a loan and Redknapp claims it was a contractual bonus for selling Crouch.

by tinybubbles on Feb 7, 2012 11:57 PM GMT reply actions  

The jury was instructed that they could find Mandaric guilty without finding Redknapp guilty but not the other way around.

Trying people together for the same crime is standard practice (in the US as well) because otherwise you’d get one trial where person A says it’s all B’s fault and one trial where person B says it’s all A’s fault.

Martin O 'Neil would have been perfect for us..

On the other hand; I just hope the jury doesn’t consist of arsenal, chelski and seventhpool fans…

You'd have to assume they were screened, right? Haha.
