Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has failed in his bid to get a charge of tax evasion dropped, alongside his former Portsmouth bosses Peter Storrie and Milan Mandaric.
The three men will stand trial later this year, with Redknapp and former owner Mandaric facing charges relating to their alleged evasion of public revenue payments of around £40,000 and former chief executive Storrie with evading tax in relation to Portsmouth midfielder Eyal Berkovic's contract termination fee in an unconnected case.
