Not anymore. It happened last time the national job was vacant, Redknapp strongly linked and made favourite to land it, only for this type of thing to surface and scupper his chances. Now its happened again:

The FA won't touch someone who's gone through that, certainly in Italy it would make him a stronger candidate, but now the person who almost everyone agrees would be our best bet, will be ruled out.

So we're left with Alan Pardew. Great.

Erm innocent until proven otherwise. As for the FA they were effectively ordered by UEFA to appoint Venables despite his background - don't rule that out happening again.

Having an offshore account in the name of your dog isn't exactly the normal way to do banking, but I guess he might get off with a good lawyer.

Aah Woy is a good shout, the most blatantly Jewish non-Jew ever. I googled it a while back and he's definitely not Jewish. Not a bad second considering the other candidates, which is saying very little.

I'd rather someone went after Vodafone for the £6bn they owe in tax rather than waste money on this...

But yeah, the FA might not be too keen after all this. Don't see why it should matter though, so long as he serves his punishment.

Allegedly. It matters not if it's normal or otherwise, what counts if it's legal.

If guilty why should these two get away with it? They are effectively laughing in the face of you and I  - the average working bloke who pay their taxes every week and would be grateful for a tax rebate of two or three hundred quid. I have paid thousands over the last few years in Corporation Tax and IHT as I am sure many of the TEF fellas have in income tax. Would you be happy working next to anybody earning twice as much as you through tax evasion? Redknapp is just another dodgy barrow boy in the mold of Venables.

Or he might be entirely innocent of doing anything wrong at all.....

But nothing like making your mind up before the verdict, eh ?

Tax avoidance vs tax evasion.  Two different things especially when there's an incompetent head of Tax Collection at HMRC who's willing to do a deal.

Is he likely to go down for this?  Or most likely a slap on the wrist and a lot of bad publicity.

I imagine it'd likely be a fine consisting of the tax, interest and a penalty of either 100%, 200% or 300% of the tax owed.  In some cases it can lead to a custodial sentence but this seems to be fairly low amounts (in relation to some real dodgy bastards).

I wonder if he's on the same sort of 'commission' re selling players at Spurs ? - If so expect Bale and Modric to be off soon.  I'd imagine Levy has got that sewn up though.

Give it to Holloway.

Imagine him as England manager, how fucking hilarious would that be?
