Redknapp arrested in probe

Harry Redknapp was one of a group of men arrested today for corruption in sport. Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric, Rangers midfielder Amdy Faye and football agent Willie McKay were also arrested.

City of London Police interviewed the men after arresting them on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. Up to 60 officers were involved in searches at eight addresses at locations across the UK including Redknapp's luxury home in Poole, Dorset.

A Portsmouth spokesman said: "Portsmouth Football Club can confirm that chief executive Peter Storrie and manager Harry Redknapp have today been asked to help police with their inquiries concerning a matter dating back to 2003.

"This was prior to the new owner taking control of the club at the beginning of 2006. The club is fully supportive of Peter and Harry who are co-operating fully with City of London Police in this ongoing inquiry. Both are playing major roles in the continued success of Portsmouth Football Club."
