No chance of him going to jail. A hefty fine, payback whats owed and a suspended sentence.
imo.
Sorry mate, but you don't just get a fine for tax evasion like this. It's not an accounting error, he shuffled undeclared UK earnings offshore to his dog's account in Monaco. He's going down.imo.
Remember Lester Piggott?

In the main you do actually, it depends if they want to make an example of him or not i suppose but in the main its unlikely you'd go to jail for something like this. Remember Lester Piggott?
Lester Piggot was an amusing case and a different kettle of fish to this one. He was investigated by the Inland Revenue and after a long wrangle on both sides came to an agreement to declare everything and stump up the unpaid tax plus penalty. He then proceded to write the cheque from an account he still hadn't declared.

They lost thier pacience and stuck him in jail.
We all know high profile football people have been made 'examples of' quite recently, so I can see this being the same, although this one will actually being just and done properly. However I imo I think he will be fined and perhaps given a suspended sentence, though I would find it moderately entertaining for him to be jailed!

I think they will probably throw the book at him - they're saying some "bungs" were declared for tax purposes, however this might just be the tip of an iceberg.
i.e. the one of many they found and can build a case around???
if it were the common man in the dock i think a short term at her majesties pleasure would be inevitable...
Are they suggesting mandaric and redknapp were both equally complicit or is it only 'arry facing the nick??

For multiple transactions that were fraudulent from the outset, over £100,000, the starting point is 2 years custody, with a range of 12 months to 3 years depending on aggravation/mitigation.Lester Piggot was an amusing case and a different kettle of fish to this one.

If he is found guilty and goes down will he lose his job.What is it with Spurs managers and dodgyness Mr Veneables had some difficulties as well didn't he?
I don’t see what difference it makes, Spurs were well aware of this prior to him joining and none of this relates to his time at spurs. Obviously if he does porridge then he'll have to be replaced. P.S beware of those spelling police.
