Those of you not familiar with England, or English Politics, or English Tax Law or real FOOTBALL (thats the game that’s played with FEET!!) should pay extra attention in trying to get their head around this one !!!!!
England Football Manager – Fabio Capello
So…..I’m listening to the radio in the car and on the news, it is announced that Fabio Capello, the much criticised England National Football Team Manager is being called in for a roasting by the Football Association (FA). Capello, who is Italian (my the Italians are having a rough time at the moment), and cannot communicate easily in English (which is probably why our present team are crap), is interviewed on Italian TV about the FA’s decison to strip the Chelsea player, John Terry, of the England Captaincy in the lead up to his trial in July for racial abuse of another player !! Capello was very critical of this !
WAIT….WAIT…..it gets even more interesting…..stick with me on this…..please !!!
Harry Redknapp – cleared of Tax Evasion and, now, pretender to the role of England Football Manager!
Not FIVE MINUTES LATER…..we go over to a reporter at the Southwark Crown Court where Harry Redknapp, the man we would all LIKE to see as the England Football Manager, has been on trial for tax evasion – it was alleged he accepted about 180,00GBP from his ex-boss of Portsmouth Football Club, Milan Mandaric and “invested” it in a Monaco bank in an account named after his dog, “Rosie” ! Redknapp who is currently the manager of London Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) and very ENGLISH, a London cockney boy and claims to have difficulty with reading and writing let alone high finance, could not be considered for the England job while he was under investigation and on trial. And guess what…..the Police and Prosecution service have majorly cocked up as they lost the case which cost them 5mGBP to stage……! Redknapp was cleared of Tax Evasion so the way is now open for Capello, the current “capitan”, to abandon the sinking ship that is England Football, making way for the innocent Redknapp to be “ordained” in the role in time for the EURO 2012 championships…..! What a bloody caper ??
British Prime Minister, David Cameron
But that’s not the end of it…..not 15 minutes after we hear about Capello and the “roasting”, and about 7 minutes after the report proclaiming Redknapp’s innocence, we await the live weekly broadcast from the House of Commons……”Prime Minister’s Questions” a bit of rough and tumble which I know is quite well subscribed to in the USA ! But the reporter in parliament says ” Prime Minister’s Questions are due to start in one minute but, of course, as soon as Harry Redknapp leaves the court and gives his statement outside, we will break into the Prime Minister’s broadcast and bring you Harry’s press conference instead……” I mean LETS GET OUR PRIORITIES RIGHT !!
Only in England…….? I don’t think so !!
