Those quotes were all about changing clubs. The rumours circulating presently are nothing to do with Redknapp switching to a different team.

Furthermore, the comments were posted after the NOTW article which addresses supposed irregularities regarding transfers, not any rumoured change of employment.

Also, what purpose is served in digging up that kind of quote? Isn't doing so on par with the worst of the gutter press who do it on an almost daily basis?

And lastly, is posting quotes such as that likely to make the rumour-mongering and sense of mild panic:

a) increase; or
b) decrease?

Now, I'm not accusing the poster of doing so, but there are some who simply take great pleasure in stirring up and adding to trouble and don't care whether their comments are appropriate, timely or even relevent as long as the furore intensifies.

All he has done is state facts. Unlike yourself. Its not about stirring, more pointing out that his vehement denials have been issued before.

News just in that Spurs Supremo and HMRC doyen Arry Redschnapps was 'questioned by police officers for four hours yesterday and bailed until the 21st of this month.'
This is from the source on Spurs Odyssey that first alerted the footballing firmament of the rejuvinated interest the filth had in our illustrious leader.
My dealings with the cops have been somewhat limited, kidnapping a member of the Royal Family, attempting to get a crossy on the Mayor of London's bicycle; that sort of gig and so I'm not exactly sure what is to be read into him being bailed.
Presumably, it suggests that they aren't done with him yet.

Peter Storrie charged over Amdy Faye deal and vows to clear his name

• Portsmouth chief executive accused of cheating public revenue
• Peter Storrie confident he will be exonerated

Peter Storrie last night reacted with "astonishment" and vowed to clear his name after he was charged with cheating the public revenue over his alleged involvement in Amdy Faye's transfer from Auxerre to Portsmouth in 2003.

Portsmouth's chief executive, who has been on bail since he was arrested almost two years ago on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting, is the first person charged in relation to the investigation into alleged corruption in football, which started in April 2007. Storrie has insisted he will "defend the allegations in the strongest possible terms" and remains confident he will be exonerated.

Earlier in the month Storrie had faced further questioning by City of London police and HM Revenue and Customs officials over Faye's move to Portsmouth, which led to a £560,000 payment being made to the agent Willie McKay. McKay and Faye have been cleared of wrongdoing and Storrie, who claimed last night that he played no part in the conclusion of the deal for the Senegal international, had expected the same outcome.

A statement released to the Guardian said: "Mr Storrie would like to place on record his astonishment at the decision that has been made to charge him with an offence of cheating the public revenue, and bewilderment as to how such a conclusion could be reached concerning the transfer of the player Amdy Faye to Portsmouth Football Club. At the time negotiations to acquire this player were concluded, Mr Storrie was on honeymoon and was not directly concerned in the agreement that was reached regarding Faye's acquisition.

"He was at that time and has continued to be the chief executive of the club and remunerated as such. Mr Storrie did not and could not have gained from any cheating of the public revenue given his role within the club and allowing for the fact that he had no proprietary interest in Portsmouth FC.

"Mr Storrie has fully co-operated with the authorities at every stage of this 31-month investigation in the belief and expectation that after an inquiry as protracted as this, the authorities would understand that there was no wrongdoing in any aspect of the player's transfer.

"Mr Storrie will defend the allegations in the strongest possible terms and is entirely confident that he will be exonerated not only of the allegation of cheating the public revenue, but any suggestion that anything untoward took place concerning any transfer dealings in which he was concerned.

"Mr Storrie now welcomes the opportunity he will have of clearing himself of these allegations to ensure that his unblemished 20-year reputation in football management remains untarnished. He will use all available means to bring these proceedings to their proper conclusion as swiftly as possible."

It is understood that Milan Mandaric, the former Portsmouth chairman, and Harry Redknapp, who was manager at Fratton Park before moving to Tottenham Hotspur, have been cleared of any wrongdoing in relation to the Faye transfer. Both, however, remain on bail as authorities continue to investigate a payment that Mandaric made into an offshore account in Redknapp's name. Mandaric maintains that the transaction was "a private matter" and nothing to do with Portsmouth.

I can think of far more sinister ways to cheat the public revenue including MP's expense claims and benefit fraud etc. It seems unfair that he's being picked on when I'm sure he's paid more into the public revenue than most MP's and benefit cheats.
