well it's unbelievable I've got to be truthful

Millions of people idolize Jeter, as the girls want to be with him and the guys want to be him. If Derek Jeter was gay, would it matter to anyone I know that I wouldn't care, because his sexual orientation did not make a damn bit of difference in the way he led the New York Yankees to their 27th World Series Championship.. Spurs' manager Harry Redknapp has moved to play down claims that HR Services and British Customs are taking action against him for tax evasion in 2007 while manager of Portsmouth.A statement issued last night by Redknapp's solicitors BCL Burton Copeland read: "Harry Redknapp is extremely surprised and disappointed to have been informed that HMRC intend to institute proceedings against him in the week commencing 11 January, 2010."We believe that the decision to commence proceedings will, in due course, be shown to have been totally misconceived."Redknapp, who has been given the full support of his club, has always denied any wrongdoing following an investigation into his financial affairs, which included his arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting in November 2007, when he was the Portsmouth manager.On Nov. 29 2007, fraud detectives arrested Redknapp, Peter Storrie (Portsmouth's Chief Executive), Milan Mandaric (the club's owner), Amdy Faye (player), and his agent Willie MacKay for alleged corruption in football.The five men were taken into custody after officers had searched eight addresses across the UK. The City of London Police did not rule out further arrests at the time and it is understood that a former Premiership manager was among those coming within the scope of its inquiry.The CLP investigation by the CLP's Economic Crime Unit is believed to have focused on possible financial malpractice. It was a move that angered Wigan who said the Police were "scraping the barrel" with this investigation.Of the initial Quest inquiry, Lord Stevens found that 17 of the 362 transfers that were investigated did not meet all the requirements put before them.Since that initial investigation by Quest between 2004 and 2008, they have been employed by FIFA to look into another 15 irregular deals that emanated from the Premier League.

This move was done without the FA's or the EPL's permission and has caused a rift between the three governing bodies.Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Redknapp said: "It's not a major issue. It's something that was done between myself and my ex-chairman Milan Mandaric, away from football, and it really is .. well, it's unbelievable, I've got to be truthful. I can't comment on it, but it's farcical."This current order by the Inland Revenue is believed to center around the transfer of Peter Crouch. However, when he changed his contract with the club the terms were changed to five percent.When Redknappreceived his re-numeration for the Crouch transfer he was only given five percent instead of ten. He then confronted Milan Mandaric about the reduction and the Serbian gave him the other five percent through an offshore account in Monaco.The monies went into Redknapp's HSBC account in Monaco and were then transferred into his HSBC account in Britain.

The Spurs manager then claims that it was his accountants who informed the Inland Revenue of the monies.The story becomes murkier when Mandaric and Storrie's opinion's on the situation are asked for. "The club considers this matter to be a private, tax issue which pre-dates Harry's employment with the club and which is not related to football matters," the statement read. "His position remains unaffected and he has the full support of the club."Daniel Levy, Tottenham's Chairman, will have to monitor this situation delicately. These rumours of tax evasion and strange dealings have dogged Redknapp for the last two years without any concrete evidence to suggest they were fact.In 2006 BBC's current affairs Panorama programme claimed to have a world exclusive of the bung culture within football and named Redknapp as one of the chief perpetrators. But the findings of the show were very weak and werelaughed off by media and football bodies alike.
