The winner is… Harry Redknapp!
But we can all be winners like him.
Lets all create bank accounts named after our cats and dogs in Monaco and direct any payments we receive into them.
When we’re found out and brought to court, we can just say "we’re thick" and "someone else handles our money" and we’ll get off scott-free.
After this formality, we can make an awards ceremony like acceptance speech thanking all of our collaborators, our friends, our husbands and wives, and our children.
When the dust has settled a bit, we can deliberately leak all of the extortionate legal costs footed by the taxpayer to induce outrage and disgust at the taxman for even attempting to address our plainly cynical treatment of the tax system.
Once everyone is on our side spitting in rage and indignation at the needless and worthless case, we can retreat home and laugh at all of the above over a drink.
Finally, when we wake up the next day and look at the newspapers we will all undoubtedly dominate, one of us will be championed as the next England manager.

Absolute nonsense from start to finish. Is the author an Arsenal fan? HMRC should never have pushed this, and most certainly shouldn’t have based any case around this ‘evidence’ from an NI journalist. As for spending, as it’s been reported, EIGHT MILLION POUNDS on this case (remember that the sum in the offshore account was £93k), that’s an absolute insult to the people of this country. There are thousands around the City of London avoiding (evading…?) larger sums than this on a yearly basis, that’s where the focus should be, not on ludicrous show-trials built on shaky evidence from established liars.
Exactly. ‘Gift to a friend’ shoved in an offshore account, no way was it legit. Absolute disgrace he got off.
