Redknapp stays focused despite taxing problems

TOTTENHAM boss Harry Redknapp is refusing to allow accusations of tax evasion overshadow what could be a make-or-break fortnight in his side’s campaign.

The 62-year-old has been charged with two counts of cheating the public revenue, with the move coming at the end of an exhaustive 26-month police and tax inquiry into alleged corruption in English football.

Redknapp, who has been adamant he has done nothing wrong, has previously described the situation as “farcical” and insists he has not been distracted from preparing for two weeks when his Champions League-chasing side face Hull, Liverpool, Fulham and Birmingham in the Barclays Premier League and Leeds in the FA Cup.
