Redknapp 'avoided tax on bungs'

[Dedworth]

Wasnt it a similar thing that finished Terry Venables England management career......a good one too...

I think with El Tel it was a long running whispering campaign of slur and rumour about financial wrongdoings (although he never ended up in court) that turned the muppets at the FA against him. If they'd had the sense to keep him on after Euro 96 I think we would have fulfilled our destiny as a world footballing power.

In view of all those whispers isn't it strange that Redknapp and Fat Sam are always touted as being England Manager calibre - I've never heard anything so stupid
