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".

Her and david sullivan on coruption charges. its just made my day.

Just wondering if anyone thinks there is any chance of them paying Carrow road a visit with their enquiry?

[newyorkcanary 14]

I wonder if GR is smiling or not.  She was a b*t*h during the Martin Taylor transfer saga, but one can''t help but respect how they stood behind Taylor during the Eduardo debacle.  I''ll admit I smiled when I heard the news...

Karen Brady and the Birmingham Chairman were arreseted this evening. Now, is this why Norwich pulled out of the Martin Taylor transfer? Why would Norwich, a team who prefers to do transfer business the most professional way possible, deal with Karen Brady?

2. Why should brum sell him knock down price? they had their price and they thought someone meet it! know one stumped up and he been playing for birmingham 1st team! so not like he rotted in reserves

birmingham did nothing wrong in my opinion in the taylor fiasco

Didn''t the useless coppers do the same to Portsmouth a couple of months back...   Harry Redknapp, Peter Storrie and Milan Mandaric getting arrested.  Nothing appears to have happened about that.

We didn''t pull out, we belatedly matched their fair valuation, but were too late as they then did not want to sell anymore. 

As I remember the Portsmouth Chairman and manager were arrested in November by the same investigation team...

You have not followed it very well have you? Roeder offered Birmingham a price for Taylor (£800,000?) which they turned down hoping to engineer a sale to QPR for around £1.25M, that never transpired and towards the end of the transfer period they were close to accepting bids of around the £1M mark. We would probably have got him but for the fact that Birmingham could not get a new central defender in during the transfer period. There was a lot of messing about but no one did anything underhand, the thing that miffs people off with that woman is her blogs in the Sun slating GR.

I wonder whether there was another reason than the one given at the time for Steve Bruce being so keen to leave.

Quite right Wizard, although I am surprised to see you defending a member of a Board.

[/quote]Excuse me?She said that we never made a bid for Taylor.Then a couple of weeks later she complained that the bid (which we hadnt made) wasn''t big enough.Mind you what really irritates me is not what she did, which was par for the course, but that plenty of people on here believed her rather than Roeder who said quite categorically all along that we had bid.

Anybody who does not believe, that this kind of thing goes on, (to varying degrees), at the majority of clubs in all divisions is unfortunately, naive. It''s just that some clubs get caught and others don''t! Transfers between clubs and agents are crooked. I suspect that bungs occur on a frequent basis. Fraud and corruption is an ever increasing problem. Do all deals involving, Eastern Europeans, Africans, Asians, agents and club owners go through honestly and above board? No I don''t think they do either.
