Harry Redknapp charged in relation to tax issues
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed he will face court proceedings in the New Year with the news that HMRC will be taking the colourful football manager to court regarding allegations of unpaid tax. While he has received the full backing of the Tottenham Hotspur board of directors, with the company citing the fact this is a personal issue which happen before he joined Tottenham Hotspur, this is the latest development in a number of investigations into the UK football industry.
While Harry Redknapp, and various other parties previously working at Portsmouth football club, have maintained their innocence it would appear that the authorities are pressing ahead with a charge of unpaid tax on an alleged £10,000 payment. Harry Redknapp is not the first prominent name in the UK football industry to be investigated by the UK tax authorities but he is by far and away the highest profile football manager to face court proceedings over recent years.
Despite the fact that the UK football industry has been rife with rumour and allegations of "bungs" and other "off the record payments" it is believed that the allegations against Harry Redknapp are in no way related to these particular subject matters.
