Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has been found not guilty of tax evasion.Redknapp and former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric were both found not guilty on two charges of tax evasion at Southwark Crown Court and hugged each other in the dock when the verdicts were announced.Redknapp's hopes of leading the England team received a major boost as he walked free from court. Jurors accepted Redknapp's angry denials that he avoided tax on any payments over £189,000 found in a Monaco account.As he thanked his legal team, his family, Tottenham and the club's supporters, Redknapp said: "It really has been a nightmare, I have to be honest. It has been five years and this is a case that should never have come to court, it's unbelievable really ... now we can go home and get on with it."I have to thank the fans, especially, the fans of Tottenham. The other night, the Wigan game, was the most moving I've ever felt for me personally to have them singing my name throughout the game.".Tottenham said in a club statement: "Everyone at the club is delighted for Harry and his family. This has been hanging over him for four years and the last two weeks have been particularly difficult. We are pleased to see this resolved and we all look forward to the rest of the season."
