Norwich North MP Ian Gibson and Norfolk North MP Norman Lamb tabled Parliamentary questions to Culture Secretary Andy Burnham on the subject, wanting to know whether this was the match the FA were investigating.

Asked for his opinion on the MPs' actions, Pearson told Sky Sports News: "I think they should be looking at events closer to home and maybe looking at crime on their own doorstep, people getting murdered in their city centres and the financial turmoil."

Lamb told the Press Association that the allegations related to unusual patterns of online betting in Asia during the course of the October 4 match at Carrow Road, which Derby won 2-1.

The FA have subsequently confirmed that is the match under investigation, but Pearson appeared unhappy that his team had been named.

He added: "They should leave football to the FA and the Football League. They have obviously got another political agenda they want to stoke up here with Norwich and unfortunately Derby are being dragged into it as well.

"But I'm sure over the coming weeks it will disappear as these stories normally do. We are not concerned about it in any way and if we are asked to comply, we'll comply."

Norwich chief executive Neil Doncaster has revealed the club are yet to be contacted by the Football Association over the allegations, but admits he was disappointed with the way in which the matter was raised.

"We understand from the FA that they are currently investigating allegations about our game with Derby County but we haven't had any contact from the FA," he told the club's official website, www.canaries.co.uk.

"Of course if we do so then we will help as best we can with their inquiries, we have no reason to believe their is anything amiss at Carrow Road."
