foreveryoung Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Another mess up by the FA, shows the true character yet again what the FA really is. Sacked Allardyce as England manager when they realised who he was, an now sacked Sampson because of, not the racism/bullying case, but apparently something documented and of a more serious nature that happened in 2015 while coaching, which was unprofessionally missed by the head of the FA Martin Glenn. Sounds like a bit of a witch hunt. Think he must have upset someone in the FA over getting away with the bullshit that was the Aluko case. FA turning into the football equivelent of the European Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Definitely hounded out, found innocent by two independent investigations so this past event, which has been on the FA's radar for over two years, suddenly surfaces and Martin Glenn decides to 'read the report' last week LOL IMO Aluko is an attention seeker who has lied and used this to thrust herself in the limelight. Incidentally I used to play football with her brother Sone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yeah, this really isn't a witch hunt. The Guardian articles by Daniel Taylor on this are very thorough and it's surprising the FA tried to justify him staying tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hes been done over. The rest of the players backed him. Should they not be picked for England now for supporting an aledged racist. She got paid off and still got to say her bit. I feel some sympathy for him but I don't know how guilty he was so cant be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 She was 'paid off' to minimise the disruption to the Euro campaign. I'm sure she's very sorry her timing was so awful. Sad we live in a culture where the victim is the bad guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have far more respect if she would have turned around, told them to stick their 'hush' money up their ass and then go to the press about the alleged incident and FA's attempt to pay her off. But no, she takes the money and still talks. Until shown otherwise she is no victim in this, Sampson has been cleared by two inquiries. She has done a lot to reveal the sort of person she is.

Aluko is a qualified lawyer so I'd be fairly confident she knows what she has the right to do and not do. The "payoff" was a settlement for loss of earnings to stop further legal proceedings. It was nothing to do with keeping quiet. She also turned down a further £20,000 by refusing to sign a central contract that she was still offered after the allegations. Nevertheless, Aluko and her legal team believed it could effect things if she spoke about it. So she didn't. She only spoke about it once it had gone public and the FA insisted she was free to talk about the incident(s).

Popular Post a m ole Posted September 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2017 Some disturbing but entirely predictable viewpoints floating around here. The guy's been sacked for a separate and reportedly more serious incident to the Aluko centred one, of which the details aren't clear yet, and he's being defended while Aluko is copping unwarranted flack for something unrelated? @Stevo985 sensibly providing the facts. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
