diamond_for_life Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Anyone else read this ? Aluko alledging England boss Mark Sampson made racially abusive comments and has bullied and discriminated players in the squad. Wondered why she wasn't at the last tournament but it states she hasn't featured for England since the allegations were made in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 If he is guilty then, quite obviously, he has to go, but there have been two enquiries finding him innocent, and Aluko refused to take part fully in these investigations according to the BBC.

Savage Henry Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 It is a pretty damning statement of his suitability for his position when you read what he is reported to have said to her. Indeed, it's an indictment of his incompetence in and of itself that these accusations can even be made. If Aluko believes the investigations are loaded against her, and that she isn't getting the support from the FA that is rightfully hers, I quite understand why she's reluctant to participate.

ICTChris Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Quote For months one member of staff used to talk to me in a fake Caribbean accent. He thought it was OK to do that, he thought it was funny. I believe he was empowered to do that because of the culture. We pleaded it [in submissions to the FA] but they chose to ignore it. Who does this? Mind boggling that people behave in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sampson made his team watch a Braveheart-inspiried history lesson prior to the game with Scotland and calls his players Lionesses. He's clearly a complete fucknugget. No surprise to see the FA try and cover up stuff like this rather than confront it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I met Eni Aluko when she was just starting out and playing for Charlton Ladies (in a friendly against Newburgh Ladies.. from East Shore Park to stardom...) and she seemed a nice down to earth person. She's a lawyer so probably knows what she's saying. Mark Sampson does seem a bellend, I'm sure he's fallen out with other England players. Of course the English FA could always follow the example of the FA of a neighbouring country and appoint an alleged racist fuckwit as their Performance Director....

Sounds like the coach in question was Alan Partridge. Unbelievable that folk actually behave like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sampson .... calls his players Lionesses Not only that, but according to the report I read, when he went to pap Aluko out of the squad for having the temerity to complain about his racism, the reason he gave her was that she had displayed "unlioness behaviour".What a fkin balloon the boy sounds like.

It's all very confusing. One of my best mates at school had a sister 2 years younger than us. She was a lovely looking girl but there were just so much similarity in characteristics, colour of hair, eyes, shape of nose etc. that no way could you consider making a move on her. You would get nightmares. I presume she eventually met a guy who didn't know her brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
