He turned the charm and comedy on when he was on the stand and the jury have lapped it up.

Regardless of what our personal thoughts of this decision it is best to use caution when posting your views.

These are men who have been found "not guilty".

It is the OJ defence ... if you're famous and have enough dosh you will find it easier to get an acquital. They are famous & have enough dosh .... & they've been acquited.

Big fckg surprise.

Another nail in the coffin of the jury system I fear.

I have two questions..

1. Am I missing something? WHY would a football club manager (employee of the club) be entitled to ANYTHING at all when the club sells a player (employee of the club) to another club?


2. Harry's defense was that although he said in plain english several times in a recorded telephone interview that the money was a bonus from the sale of Peter Crouch - he was lying. His defense was that he was lying??

:conf:

If you're a selling club and you're job as a manager is to get the best out of the team and also make a profit on player sales, I'd say it's alright a manager getting a 'bonus' of commission on player profits.

IMHO OC, LOLZ

Remember the judge apparently stressed upon the jury in summing up that Mandaric and Redknapp were "decent blokes".....or wtte.

yeah - i CAN see the logic in incentivising a manager to bring in talent and sell on at a profit - it's how many clubs survive.. but it does raise other questions...

1. does the manager then LOSE if you sell at a loss?
2. how much of the actual discovery of new talent does the manager do - is it not the scouts? are they similarly incentivised/
3. are there not conceivably situations where it sets up a conflict of interest - where it is in the manager's interest to sell while a player is at peak value, but not the club's?
