[donny1013]

Four men have been arrested in connection with alleged corruption in football, police have said. City of London Police said the men - aged 69, 55, 48 and 30 - were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting.
The arrests were part of the force's ongoing investigation into corruption within the game, a spokeswoman said.
Three searches are under way and five others have been concluded at locations across the country, she added.

Sky's crime correspondent says the press thinks that amongst the five are a Premiership manager, a Prem player and an agent.

So what do we think? If it's a current Prem manager it would surely have to be either 'Arry or Fat Sam?

BBC just reporting Portsmouth have said it's Kemsley's mate, 'Arry Redknapp.

Young Jamie was opining the other day that the FA would never make his dad England manager....

Portsmouth have confirmed that Harry Redknapp and Peter Storrie have been arrested by police investigating corruption in football.

Reports had claimed that Redknapp and Storrie were among five people to have been arrested in raids on Wednesday.
According to the Evening Standard's This Is London website, Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric, Rangers midfielder Amdy Faye and football agent Willie McKay were also arrested.
The City of London Police's economic unit headed the raid which is part of the same ongoing investigation which saw Tottenham defender Pascal Chimbonda arrested in September.

Police confirmed earlier on Wednesday that five men - aged 69, 60, 55, 48 and 30 - had been arrested following raids.


Arrests



A spokeswoman for the Police said: "Five men have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting as part of an ongoing investigation into football corruption.

"Three searches are currently under way. Five additional searches at a variety of locations across the country have been concluded."

The Police's investigation is separate to that of the Quest inquiry which was launched last year by the Football Association with Lord Stevens at the helm.

Mandaric = 69
Redknapp = 60
Storrie = 55
Faye = 48.

I didn't realise Chimbonda's agent was so young.

Sky News Online can reveal that the seventh is Tottenham defender Pascal Chimbonda, who moved to Spurs from Wigan Athletic.
