Can't really see the relevance of Storrie's trial - once they had established the payment was made from an independent Mandaric source then I can't really see he had a charge against him

The Storrie charges were "unrelated" - Amdy Faye transfer I think, but they are related in the sense that this was all bundled up together at the time as one charge against the three so therefore not guilty of one means likelihood of not guilty in another, but not allowed to report to ensure it doesn't prejudice the verdict etc.
Basiclaly HMRC have wasted a shed load of cash and got nowhere.
Harry Redknapp. Dodgy? Yes. Guilty? No. He's not a wheeler dealer...

I know they say hooliganism was born in England, but I'd like to add jealousy and spite... THAT'S the true modern English disease!
I know Harry has his critics, and all probably isn't as 'above board' as he'd like... but give him his due, he's been acquitted, and is therefore an innocent man.
Though I'm sure the gutter English press will dig up something ELSE for him to defend himself against once England lose a few games next season...

HARRY REDKNAPP'S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!!!
