Owls chairman on trial for tax evasion

Wednesday chairman Milan Mandaric has appeared in the dock today to face trial for tax evasion alongside Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp.

The duo are at Southwark Crown Court charged with cheating the public revenue during their time at Portsmouth.

The case centres on payments totalling around £183,000, allegedly made by the Owls chairman to Mr Redknapp whilst the pair worked together at Fratton Park.

Both deny the charges and the trial is expected to last for two weeks.
