    BBC News - Redknapp tax trials cost £1.3m so far, HMRC says

    The trials into alleged tax dodging - one of which involved football manager Harry Redknapp - have cost under £1.3m so far, HM Revenue & Customs says.

    HMRC told the BBC that rumours it had spent £8m on the case were "nonsense".

    It said the costs of investigations into Mr Redknapp, Milan Mandaric and Peter Storrie cost less than £300,000 while Crown Prosecution Service costs were almost £1m.

    All three have been cleared of tax evasion at two trials.

    "The fact is it has cost us less than £300,000 and whilst we would rather have won the case, the important thing was to get the facts in front of a jury - and that has happened," said a spokesman for the tax authorities.



    And this is the problem - they think £1.3m is small money. Of course it is when it is not theirs.

    Can anyone explain exactly how he was cleared? From the looks of it, he was being paid a bonus by his employer, complained it was smaller than expected, and his employer then "gifted" him the remaining amount by depositing it in an offshore account that the employer encouraged him to set up. How is that not tax fraud?

    And if it's not tax fraud, can't we all go and set up offshore accounts and then get our ltd co to pay all of our income into them tax free, as a "gift"?

    A team that can outclass another will win even in a friendly. I never said Spain weren't better, just that they don't outclass England. It's not my fault you don't understand the word.

    I can understand having an account if you have a holiday home etc to pay for running costs etc, but anything more is questionable.
    I would say it makes perfect sense to have an offshore account if you do any business outside the UK. There should be no suspicion attached whatsoever.

    Like English players, not many foreigners play well at world cups after playing here. For example, when Spain won in 2010, Torres was poor and was dropped after a few goalless games, and Fabragas hardly played.
    Torres went to the world still recovering from injury.

    The premiership is the most popular because it is so frantic. That was true even before all the foreigners, when it was called Division One.

"Oh but the Premiership is the best league in the world!!!" maybe, but only because there are more foreign players/managers and owners, otherwise it would resemble the SPL or Championship. It's fun to watch all the morons get excited thinking they have a chance.

    Last time England played Spain, England won.

    I think England don't have a chance of beating Spain in a competitive match.

    If the FA have balls they should replace him now, but they would rather keep a weak and undermined manager they can patronize for 4 months and whom they can blame for their ineptitude.
