Will Harry withstand the Inland Revenue onslaught on the Football world?
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp in court on tax charges
The charges relate to Mr Redknapp's time at Portsmouth
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has appeared in City of Westminster Magistrates' court charged with two counts of tax evasion. Mr Redknapp, 62, was charged with cheating the public revenue of about £40,000.
Also appearing is Milan Mandaric, 71, currently the chairman of Leicester City, charged with a similar offence.
It relates to two payments totalling US $295,000 allegedly made by Mr Mandaric to Mr Redknapp via a Monaco account.
Mr Redknapp, who arrived in a black Mercedes, made no comment to waiting reporters.
The charges relate to his time as Portsmouth manager.
It is alleged he evaded tax and national insurance contributions between 1 April 2002 and 28 November 2007.
Mr Mandaric owned the football club at the time.
Tottenham Hotspur have said the case will not affect Mr Redknapp's employment because it was a private, non-football matter and pre-dated his tenure at the club.
