yet again, the FA appear to be so out of touch
Been suggested that they used the 2014 "issue" to get rid of him after the latest inquest. Even though they have had two now and cleared him.
Suspect there is more to this to come out still

Maybe I am being thick but if he has been cleared twice, why is there another inquiry?
I just can't believe this player would make stuff up? What would she have to gain? Maybe these comments were a "joke" off the record and now can never be proven?
Who knows but some people are going to look very silly at the end of this whatever way it goes.
EDIT isn't it odd how he dropped her even though she was the top scorer in the women's league? It's just an odd situation and haven't some other players accused him of some sort of racist remarks.
I know this Bristol thing is something different about him having some sort of unacceptable and inappropriate behaviour.
1 thing ok, but there have been numerous things against this guy. Are they all making it up and he is just unlucky? [Post edited 20 Sep 2017 22:52]

I'm sure the £80,0000 tax free pay off might have eased the blow | | | |

I heard he got his knob out in the dressing room? |  |

There was a huge show of support for Samson by the players when they all went over to him to celebrate the first goal against Russia. |  | | |

Maybe they weren't aware of his inappropriate relationships while at Bristol Academy?

The FA have clearly botched up not one, but two investigations and it also makes you wonder how many other cases like this they have tried to suppress? |  | | |

Hodgson next for putting Kane on corners. |  |

Not the same. It's illegal for a teacher to have a sexual relationship with a 16 or 17 year old pupil. This does not apply in sporting organisations. |  |

Sorry, didn't mean it is illegal in sporting organisations, but it clearly crosses a line at such a young age.
I'd not want him in charge of a team if he had a history of that. [Post edited 21 Sep 2017 14:11]

It's difficult to know how much of what is said there is true with as speaks around the point at times - but ultimately they should have probably fully and properly investigated Aluko's allegations and given him a slap on the wrist and moved on.
He's made comments that were inappropriate, but not really racist and just needed reminding of his responsiblities - instead the FA tried to brush it under the carpet and doubled down a couple of times until the pressure got too much from journalists like Daniel Taylor and now have made them look even more inept as an organisation |  |

Also, I think the fact that Bristol's womens team was called Bristol Academy rather than Bristol City Ladies whilst he was the manager is deeply unhelpful - they weren't an underage team that he was in charge of (although may have had some younger players) | |

He was manager of Bristol Academy, who despite their name, were a senior team in the top division of women's football.
There was an interview with a former England player on the radio last night and a Guardian report that mentioned the club's away matches were like a mixture of a stag and hen do was brought up, a key quote being "No law was broken but we felt that, during his time at Bristol, Mark had overstepped the professional boundaries between player and coach.” |  | | |

The allegations are apparently around 16 year old players | | | |

I'm not sure they could have just moved on from the comments. Two separate incidents of derogatory comments made to players because of their race is wholly unacceptable. You can't have the national team manager being a casual racist. |  |

Whether they could or couldn't, a total sham of an investigation meant they had no choice either way | |

Very true, the investigation was a total joke. | |
