In January this year, he was charged with cheating England's public revenue service of about £40,000, at Bishopsgate police station. Apparently he did not pay all his taxes related to player transfers and he's going trial in the July for it.
The rotter has been charged with two counts of tax evasion during his time as manager of Portsmouth. Former chairman Milan Mandaric will join him on trial at Southwark Crown Court.
Word is two payments worth £185,000 gross amount together were made to Redknapp by Mandaric through a Monaco-based bank account.
'Arry denies any wrongdoing but maybe the London Cockney gangster will be in the slammer sometime. Well, probably not - he'll slip out of it.
Still, I think it's time for a film about this football manager character.
So, here's my quick synopsis:
'Arry grows up -
Young Harry to be played by Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell.
Harry didn't really want to play footie - he wanted to do ballie!

Jamie Bell stars in the new Tintin film directed by film legend Steven Spielberg. Some Spurs fans think Harry is a legend - well, he's done well with the team, but they have not won any titles yet, except for the League Cup thato ne time.
I wonder if Mr Redknapp read Tintin as a boy. One of the books in the series was called Red Rackham's Treasure - wow two uses of the word, red.
Next, we have Harry when he's in his twenties or so.
How about hardman Jonathan Rhys Meyers? I rate he can play a tough drinker. As far as I know, Harry wasn't exactly a drunk in his twenties. Well, never a man to shut his trap, 'Arry has before said that too many English footballers get trashed too often, affecting their performance.
When Harry was about 40-years old he looked like Colin Firth - dead serious. Therefore, it makes sense that the Academy Award Winning Star of The King's Speech should play Harry at this stage of the biography, which will probably pick up a slew of awards. Colin Firth did star in Fever Pitch, a homage to Arsenal football club and following something, but he can be flexible. Also, Colin played a bumbling bloke who probably ate bacon sandwiches - sounds just like Harry to me.

And older harry, when he's 60 and playing craps in jail? The honour goes to Timothy Spall. Spall is a brilliant character actor who did a good job at portraying Sir Winston Churchill in The King's Speech, alongside Mr Firth.

So, now I'm just waiting for my 4 hours masterpiece full of Harry surrounded by impending doom music, to be accepted by a big studio company, or I'll film it - I'm easy either way.
Here are some Harry quotes that justify a biogrpahy film -
When he picked the ball up, I'd be a liar if I said I thought he would score. I thought he was going to head it!
On why C. Ronaldo is better than Kaka, in a Sun interview:
“The kid’s a genius." "He’s built like the Incredible Hulk with skill like you’ve never seen. He’s a special talent. Kaká is a brilliant player but I wouldn’t swap him for Ronaldo - a wide player who will get you 20-odd goals a season."
