The former Sheffield Steelers owner and Chesterfield football club chairman
Darren Brown has been arrested on suspicion of fraudulent trading.

Mr Brown was arrested on Monday at his home in Wingerworth, and was
questioned at length at Chesterfield police station before being released on
bail without charge.

The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into the financial affairs of
Mr Brown's company, UK Sports Group, which controlled both Chesterfield FC
and the Sheffield Steelers before it collapsed with heavy debts.

The investigation is being run jointly by Derbyshire Police Force and the
Serious Fraud Office.

Mr Brown said on Tuesday that he was taking legal advice, and denied he was
guilty of any financial wrongdoing.

Another man - an accountant from Nottingham - has already been arrested and
charged with false accounting as a result of his involvement with the UK
Sports Group.

He is due to appear before magistrates next month.

I wonder if he bumped in to Darren Brown whilst in custody.

Until proven guilty, lets all not get carried away here, we all know how well the British Justice System works and how the courts & Police always get the right man/woman :p

We all know that the man who saved our Steelers with his own? money cannot possibly be guilty of such a thing as fraudulent trading which is a serious criminal offence.

Any one out there wishing to start a "Darren Brown is Innocent" support committee at the HOS?. Don't count on my suppport.

As the proverb says "They all fall eventually"

Many apologies for the ironic tone of this posting.
