Tax evasion? Could it be true?
Harry Redknapp is set to face trial for tax evasion on January 23rd alongside former Portsmouth FC chairman Milan Mandaric.
The first charge alleges that between April 1, 2002, and November 28, 2007, Mandaric paid $145,000 into a bank account held by Redknapp in Monaco, to avoid paying income tax and national insurance.
The second charge for the same offence relates to a sum of $150,000 allegedly paid by Mandaric to the same account between May 1, 2004, and November 28, 2007.
Presumably, Redknapp will continue managing the side during this turbulent time. But considering that it will be January, if Tottenham are not in a Top-4 position at the time, will Luka Modric and others look to bail on their under-fire manager? Will the team’s form dip?
Just another twist and bit of drama to the January transfer window in a few months.
