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.
A Pompey 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 cooperating fully with City of London Police in this ongoing inquiry.
"Both are playing major roles in the continued success of Portsmouth Football Club."
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 that saw Tottenham defender Pascal Chimbonda arrested in September.
Eight searches
Police confirmed earlier on Wednesday that five men - aged 69, 60, 55, 48 and 30 - had been arrested following raids.
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.
Harry Redknapp has confirmed he was arrested by police, but says it was only to assist in inquiries and that 'it doesn't directly concern me'.The Portsmouth manager was one of the men arrested on Wednesday as part of an ongoing investigation into corruption in football, but he says his arrest was simply because police needed to be in the police station to speak to him.
"We all helped the police with their inquiries, but it doesn't directly concern me - it's other people involved," he said.
"I've been answering questions to help the police. I am not directly concerned with their inquiries.
"They have to arrest you to talk to you, for you to be in the police station.
"I think that's the end of it. It didn't directly concern me."
Redknapp also confirmed that Milan Mandaric and Peter Storrie were arrested.
Redknapp and Storrie's solicitor, Paul Martin, reiterated Redknapp's comments.
"They have been assisting the police with their inquiries," he said.
"The inquiries do not relate to either of those individuals. They relate to entirely different individuals.
"They are ongoing investigations in relation to those other individuals, and for that reason they are unable to comment further, and there is nothing that they can discuss."
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's the best they're going to feel all day." -Frank Sinatra
