Redknapp Cleared

[Churchill]

Now is the time to do some dodgy accounting HMRC will think twice about going to court.

No they won't, nobody will be hauled over the coals for bringing the Redknapp case. You forget that HMRC have a bottomless purse, the public's!

He wouldn't manage a team with zero hope of winning, he is a great manager not a magician.

England don't haze zero hope, just not a high hope. Sir Alex is good at making the club out-perform the players.

Didn't know he'd such a strong opinion about not taking the job though, fair enough on that score.

So offshore accounts are OK then now?, time to save some tax!!!!

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with an offshore account, just depends on whether and what you declare. However, it would appear that loans from clients are ok... Looks like a nice precedent to me!

WHS^ They usually enter a major tournament at between 8/1 - 12/1 which is about right, in the Euros 15 teams won't win it and some of them will be favourites but we like a good winge don't we.

At least they qualify for tournaments

Especially in the Euros, any team could win - even Greece won a while back. Our best players are not outclassed by the best players of any other nation - might not be quite as good but are not outclassed, meaning it's all about the teamwork/manager.

FTFY

We've had a dozen different managers since 1966, nearly all fans' favourites when appointed like Harry is now, and the only two times we reached the semi-finals of a tournament were when:

1. In 1990 the manager had been in the job 8 years (he failed to qualify for his first tournament)
2. In 1996 we played at home

After 46 years and counting, when will anyone who matters realise that all these different managers were not the problem? The problem being that the domestic game in England mitigates against winning an end-of-season tournament?

Not outclasses

I very much doubt that Xavi, Cesc, Iniesta, Sneijder or Barry, Milner, Terry, Downing and even Stevie G ?

England become short prices at the bookies because we all believe we have the next golden generation and people believe the hype.

What kind of argument is it to name 4 players from each country?

You seriously think the Spanish team doesn't outclass England in every respect?
You must live in a parallel universe.
