    Birmingham have been raided by police officers investigating football corruption.


    The club has promised to co-operate fully with the City of London Police after financial documents were taken away to be examined early on Wednesday morning.


    A police spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that officers from the City of London Police executed a search warrant at a premises this morning in connection with the ongoing investigation into football corruption.


    The raid was initially believed to relate to the Lord Stevens inquiry, which concentrated mainly on illicit payments to agents.


    However, the spokeswoman denied that was the case, adding: "Our investigation is entirely separate from the Lord Stevens' inquiry."


    Birmingham have made it clear they have done nothing illegal and that the investigation is not linked with any official club business.


    "The club is fully co-operating with the police in their inquiries which relate to an unconnected third party or third parties," read a statement on the Birmingham website.


    "For the avoidance of doubt no-one connected with the club has been questioned or arrested. No further comment will be made by the club."

    Now now thats rather harsh, im sure Karen Brady MD would slot nicely into Randys set up, did i hear that the Holte are recruiting for new catering staff? also if WBA are getting promoted then agent Ridgewell might need to go on assignment there.

    Could of course be the Dunny transfer too, I always thought there was something a bit dodge about that one.
