Blues bosses arrested by police

Seven others remain on bail in connection with the inquiry

 

Birmingham City co-owner David Sullivan and managing director Karren Brady have been arrested, the BBC understands.

 

City of London Police investigating alleged corruption in English football said they arrested a man, 59, and a woman 39, on Wednesday.

 

The pair were questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting.

 

A spokeswoman said the pair had been released on bail. A further seven people remain on bail.

 

Last month police raided Birmingham City FC in an "ongoing investigation into football corruption".

 

Among those previously arrested during the investigation are Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp, the club's chief executive Peter Storrie and former chairman Milan Mandaric.

 

Former Portsmouth midfielder Amdy Faye, a Senegalese international, has also been questioned by police.

 

Detectives are believed to be focusing on Mr Faye's transfers from Auxerre to Portsmouth in August 2003 and from Portsmouth to Newcastle in January 2005.

 

Mr Mandaric was Portsmouth chairman at the time of both transfers.

 

Mr Redknapp was Portsmouth manager when the player was signed in 2003.

id like to see them doing something, but to be honest things like diving, whinging at rfs and favouritism of the big 4 are bigger priorities

 

Who's going to do anyting about favouritism of the big 4? It'll get worse not better and no-one in the FA thinks it's a problem.

I'm hoping the vile porno dwarf emerges from the big house on the hill with a ring piece the size of the bull ring.

 

She'll probably get off by playing the "too simple to understand what she was doing" card.

Villa fan mate from work who I texted as soon as I heard replied with a wish that they will get a points reduction

The soccernet coverage of this story also suggests our favourite agent Willie McKay may have also been arrested over these allegations:

 

Last November officers arrested a series of high-profile figures in the national game in a controversial series of raids.

 

Among them were believed to be Redknapp, Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie, former chairman Milan Mandaric, former player Amdy Faye and agent Willie McKay.

The PL doing the right thing is probably too much to hope for, sadly.
