Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has been found not guilty of evading tax.
The jury accepted Redknapp's repeated denials that he avoided tax on any payments over £189,000 found in a Monaco account.
Speaking outside the court Redknapp said the case had been a "nightmare" which should never have come to court. He also thanked the fans for their support.
He was aquitted alongside co-defendant Sheffield Wednesday owner Milan Mandaric.
After today's verdict was delivered Mr Mandaric said the prosecution had been a "horrible dream" but said he had always believed in British justice.
In a seperate statement Tottenham Hotspur said: “Everyone at the Club is delighted for Harry and his family. This has been hanging over him for over 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.”
It brings to an end an £8 million police investigation which failed to bring a single conviction.
It can also be reported for the first time that Mandaric and former Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie were also cleared of £600,000 tax dodge claims at a previous trial.
Redknapp and Mandaric hugged as the jury cleared them of all counts.
Redknapp was at times moved to the verge of tears as the Crown alleged that he told a pack of lies in an attempt to get off the hook.
But jurors accepted Redknapp and Mandaric's evidence that the Monaco account in the name of Redknapp's dog, Rosie, was nothing to do with footballing matters.
The two-week trial at London's Southwark Crown Court threatened to derail Redknapp's progress at the pinnacle of his 30-year managerial career.
