TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR manager Harry Redknapp told a reporter that there was no need for him to dodge £30,000 of tax, a court heard yesterday.
The jury at Southwark Crown Court heard a tape recording of an interview between a journalist and Redknapp, in which Redknapp ridiculed a suggestion that he held funds in an offshore account in Monaco to evade UK tax.

Redknapp said on the recording: "Do me a favour. I tried to nick £30,000 to save on income tax?...Do I need that Rob?" reported the BBC.
Redknapp, and former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric, both deny charges of cheating the public revenue.

Yeah right!
So not telling either your accountant or the taxman about £189,000 banked in your offshore account isn't tax evasion then!
Just a little 5 year memory lapse then Harry?
I'm looking forward to what the judge will say!
