alchresearch   214 #646 Posted September 21, 2017 Facts slowly coming out:  What exactly has the FA fired Sampson for? Having spent weeks fighting accusations of racism, the 34-year-old Welshman's contract has been terminated because of what the FA has described as "inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour" in his previous managerial role at the Bristol Academy, which has since been rebranded as Bristol City Women.  We do not know what that behaviour was but it was investigated by the FA's Safeguarding Unit, which cleared him. FA chief executive Martin Glenn told reporters it was related to the "boundaries between coach and player".  https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/why-the-fa-sacked-mark-sampson-as-manager-of-the-england-women-s-team-a3639901.html  But why take so long and drag up an old incident in which he was cleared?

Harrystottle   10 #647 Posted September 21, 2017 So let's recap. Eni Aluko makes allegations about Sampson. Two enquiries are held, both of which clear him. Aluko gets £80,000 to shut up and go away. She takes the money but doesn't shut up and repeats the allegations to the press. All of a sudden the FA dig up a report from 2105 on Sampson's time at Bristol, when again allegations were made against him. The report says that nothing illegal happened and that Sampson is OK to continue working in football. The top men at the FA disagree. Martin Glenn reads the report and finds that Sampson has been "inappropriate". What "inappropriate" means we'll never know because the FA aren't making the report public.  So we're left with the situation that a man who has been cleared - three times - of wrongdoing has been sacked for reasons which aren't in the least bit clear.  A cynical person might think that the FA were desperate for this matter to go away, but could hardly do so having cleared Sampson twice. Then bingo! The Bristol report comes up and they fall on it most gratefully, because here is their chance. Despite having the report for two years the FA top brass say that they've only just read it and golly, he's been inappropriate so he'll have to go. Despite the fact that the Bristol report says that Sampson was OK to go on working in football.  To compound their stupidity the FA then say well yes, of course Sampson is perfectly OK to go on working in football, only jut not for us!  What a shower the FA are. There's no situation so bad that they can't make it worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ukdobby   223 #648 Posted September 21, 2017 If he's done wrong and rightly sacked then why have the FA given him a 20k payoff.Like what's been said all this needs investigating,not only the accusations but the way the FA has handled it.
