Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is "extremely surprised and is disappointed" that the taxman is beginning criminal proceedings against him for tax evasion, in the New Year.
In a statement on Tottenham Hotspur's website issued by his solicitors BCL Burton Copeland, it said HM Revenue & Customs' decision will "in due course, be shown to have been totally misconceived".
It said the club said it gave Redknapp its full support, and his position was unaffected.
"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 charge is understood to relate to unpaid tax on an offshore payment made by former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric to Redknapp when he was manager.

Lock him up
I hope HMRC win and Harry is locked up. Perhaps Jamie could visit him in prison for a few years so we don't get the anti Arsenal stuff on Sky.
