    Wasn't he at West Ham prior to Portsmouth? Possibly when Redknapp was West Ham manager?

    EDIT: Yes he was

    Can't have been on the fiddle while at West Ham as that club can do no wrong (and they won the world cup to boot)

    I think Harry's sharper than Storrie. Storrie's probably had to do dodgy stuff for owners before, but this time international money flows of an oleganous oligarch was probably beyond his brains. Redknapp had the brains to place his questions on the record to his accountant, and I believe his accountant investigated the whys and wherefores. If I remember correctly all the time the matter was being investigated by his accountant he held the money in an account without touching it. When OK'ed he transferred it from his off-shore account. Doubt if anything he did will be found to be incorrect. I think ol'Harry had more of a clue than Storrie about how dodgy it potentially was, and if anything is subsequently found he'll pay up to inland revenue asap.

    All to do with a certain player called Amdy Faye. Remember him?

    [cite]Posted By: SoWhat[/cite]I'd guess that most overseas signings he's handled have had money transferred to their overseas accounts as much as the English players have money sent to offshore accounts
    via every which way possible.

    Which is why IMHO HMR&C are chasing this.

    They know it happens and most likely at more clubs than Pompey. In chasing down this one case they may open a Pandora's box of other cases or at least warn other clubs to stop thinking they can dodge tax like this.

    This is a test case.

    I also suspect that they think if they can get to Storrie then they can get to Willie McFaul, Faye's agent.
