Football: Gibraltar based Victor Chandler at centre of ilegal betting claim

The English Football Association (FA) is to investigate allegations that several Premiership managers have laid bets on top-flight matches.

The claims were made by a former employee of bookmakers Victor Chandler.

"We will see if there has been any breach of our regulations and we would welcome any information that would help our inquiries," said an FA spokesman.

Chandler has obtained a High Court injunction prohibiting the naming of the managers accused.

"He wants to maintain his clients' right to privacy," said PR guru Max Clifford, who has been representing Gibraltar-based Chandler.

"We were at the High Court yesterday making sure no-one could reveal their names."

FA rules forbid managers and players betting on competitions they are involved in.

Breaking news: it now appears that the person that has leaked the information may have been arrested in Gibraltar.
