Dario Gradi says he will "do everything within (his) power to assist all investigatory authorities" following his FA suspension.

Crewe Alexandra's director of football was suspended by the Football Association as part of its wider review into historical allegations in football.

It is understood the FA will question Gradi, who has denied any wrongdoing, and the 75-year-old said last week he would help the governing body's review, which will run alongside police investigations now including 21 forces.

In a statement, he said: "Having been notified by the Football Association on 25th November, I acknowledged my current interim suspension from football.

"I would like to reiterate that I will do everything within my power to assist all investigatory authorities.

"As I have previously stated, aside from denying any wrong doing it would be inappropriate and unfair on all parties to comment through the media at this time in connection with any allegations.

"I would also like to thank all those people, who have come out in support of me. It is very much appreciated."
