David Brown @DavidhBrown #Redknapp on shares adviser: "I think he was trying to ruin me but I am a bit of a gambler so I kept trying." #Redknapp: "You think I put my hand on the bible, Mr Black, and told lies. That is an insult." #Redknapp: "I'm afraid I did invest in shares. I got my son over there (Jamie) almost wiped out." #Redknapp: "($45,000) is not peanuts to most people. No one has had it harder than me as a kid." #Redknapp (sarcastically): "Harry it's not going to benefit you but it will help poor Mr #Mandaric who is down to his last billion." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ James Pearce @Pearcesport Redknapp talking about his poor form with share dealing "I got my son wiped out nearly once" Redknapp "I'd never heard of shares until playing golf. Was recommended Firecrest. It was more firework. Went out like damp squib. Lost all" Prosecution : " I suggest you're telling pack of lies Mr Redknapp...You've come to this Court + twisted your account to get you off hook" Redknapp "You think that I put my hand on the bible and told lies? That's an insult. I've told you no lies.... I don't do that" Redknapp "I might tell Mr Beasley (NOTW) lies but I don't tell this Court lies" Redknapp "I'm the most ungreedy person you ever met - ever, ever. Give me bible back and I'll put my hand back on it" More laughter as Redknapp talks about Rosie again. "I don't ever like calling her a dog. She was better than that" Voices raised as prosecution finish cross exam. Redknapp asks why Mandaric needed help on tax when he was "only down to his last billion" Prosecution have finished questions for Redknapp. Judge now asking questions to R. Judge asking more about what R said to News of World Redknapp: "Everything I've told you has been the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me God" Redknapp has finished evidence. Now his defence team has just called Arsenal's Bob Wilson to give evidence

Ok, yep...so a company that goes into administration only needs a CVA if all the debts can't be cleared at the time of takeover? Got it. Cheers. Just off to 'own' my colleagues :-)

Can someone quickly help me out here.....I'm continuing the debate with my work colleagues re: administration differences between Southampton and Portsmouth. They are asking when Saints paid up their CVA but I'm struggling to convince them that Saints never had a CVA (that's right, isn't it?) and therefore it's a moot point. I know he club istelf never went into administration but was there ever a SLH CVA? If not, why not? Cheers!

David Brown @DavidhBrown#Redknapp: "(The Monaco bank account) was so secret that all the boys at Portsmouth knew about it." #Redknapp said while signing bank document he was concentrating on marking David Beckham, who went on to score a hattrick.

Name a PM that has ever been "high on content" at PMQs? Isn't that part of the job description?

Come on, be fair...at least he/she has been more articulate on here than they were on one of Ipswich's messageboards last week: http://www.ipswich.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=270476

David Brown @DavidhBrown #Redknapp says "coincidence" he opened Monaco bank account 4 days after confronting #Mandaric over Crouch bonus #Redknapp advised to alter code word for his UK accounts aftr telling court yesterday it was his mother's maiden name

James Pearce @Pearcesport Redknapp on Monaco account name : "Rosie was my dog. I loved Rosie to bits." Prosecution: "I'm sure you did" Redknapp says account was named Rosie47 as bank already had account called Rosie. Redknapp said other Rosie might have been someone's wife Redknapp said the other Rosie "might have been someone's wife. If she was as nice as Rosie (dog) then they had a good wife"

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10280~32459,00.html "Former Celtic central defender Jos Hooiveld joined Saints initially on loan until January 2012" Yes, I know "it doesn't matter" but, had we not taken up the option to make the move permanent he would have been here until January 2012 regardless, ergo whatever happened between September 2011 and December 2011 (contract negotiation wise) only changed things from January 2012 onwards.

James Pearce @Pearcesport Redknapp listens as tape played to Court of his recorded conversation with News of the World reporter Rob Beasley On tape - Redknapp "It was bonus". Beasley: Mandaric says investment". R "Investment? If that's what said he's wrong but what's difference?" So, 'Arry, if there's "no difference" what's the point in not telling the truth to the NotW?

David Brown @DavidhBrown #Redknapp: "Do you think two people who committed a crime could not get same story? Do you think we are stupid?"

James Pearce @Pearcesport Prosecution begin by asking Redknapp if "your evidence yesterday was utterly misleading?" Redknapp: "Absolutely not" Pros ask Redknapp if money wasn't a bonus then why did he tell News of World "That money was a bonus paid to me for selling a player" Redknapp says not important if he tells truth to News of World, only needs to tell truth to police Redknapp tells jury that what he said to News of World was "all a story" and "I wanted to get him off the phone" Prosecution: News of World reporter "caught you out Mr Redknapp. You decided to speak to him and let the cat out of the bag" Redknapp shows frustration with prosecution: "Do you think that me + Mr Mandaric are going to have 2 different stories? Are we that stupid?"

When would he have left Saints if we hadn't permanently signed him? (said a spokesman for Saintsweb's Matthew Le God)

An alternative way to settle this "debate" to to flip the question around: "If we hadn't turned Hooiveld's loan into a permanent signing, when would he have left Saints?" If the answer is "midnight on 31st December 2011" then the it can construed that he officially became a permanent Saints player at 00:01 on 1st January 2012, regardless of when the paperwork was dealt with.

I was talking about the continent, not the country.....sigh.... (yes, I know, it's "North America" not "America"....)

I see what you did there....

Ah, yes....I can see it as a typo now! I believe we can file that one under "Freudian Slips"

Yep. I was making a tenuous link to something else...

A reminder of her original reply on the matter: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=1252544#post1252544 Any idea what she meant by that bit in bold about "staff forging their salaries"?
