Furious Birmingham City co-owner David Gold has criticised the manner in which the recent investigation into the club's transfer dealings was handled.
City of London Police arrested and questioned David Sullivan and Karren Brady earlier this month in regard to the ongoing inquiry into corruption in football.
Sullivan has already spoken of his anger, and Gold added on Sky Sports News: "The whole issue is outrageous and I'm absolutely outraged by what's happening.
"To see these quality people arrested, and I know the pain that Karren Brady is going through, I just believe the whole issue is outrageous.
"I think the way they've been treated is appalling and think that their arrest should be rescinded.
"I see no cause whatsoever and I can't tell you how distressed I am at the whole affair and I'm really too distressed to talk about it.
"I think it's appalling. I mean these people have been arrested for what? There's no charges, it's an absolute disgrace.
"I keep using the word outrageous, but I can't think of another word to use. It's terrible and you can't imagine what a young woman like Karren Brady is going through, and nobody seems to care."
