Reporting a concern about a child is everyone’s responsibility – here’s how you do itWhat do the FA mean by "Safeguarding" anyhow?
That was a proper stitch up. Even the FA admitted what he said was 'a factual, correct statement around the laws of the English game and having third-party ownership'.
Which makes you wonder why they sacked him. As usual they will make decisions based on avoiding bad headlines.That was a proper stitch up. Even the FA admitted what he said was 'a factual, correct statement around the laws of the English game and having third-party ownership'.

Something doesn't add up with it all, why did he get the job in the first place if what happened at Bristol didn't fit in with what they expect?
But that's not why he's been sacked. That matter was investigated, a video of the meeting in question examined and a barrister who came in to carry out the investigation stated that he clearly didn't say what he was accused of.if he said what he said he deserves to be sacked.
What a shambles from the FA. And then they did this...
FA covers up 'Super White Army' banner
They really do like tying themselves in knots

There's got to be something going on in the background we don't know about otherwise this is nuts even by the FAs low standards.
This is terrible news for snooker players who will now surely no longer be allowed to pot the black.
Think the government is also in talks with chickens to try and get them to only lay 100% full yolk eggs with no egg white.
I'm going to miss my lemon meringue pie.
The original (as in the first England one) was about the meeting Aluko wasn't even at. That was recorded and the recording doesn't match the claim being made.There is no footage of the original claim is there?

The second claim which she made later (the ebola one) wasn't recorded but nobody else that was present seems able to confirm her version of events.
Whatever happened at Bristol was investigated in 2015 by the FA's safeguarding unit and he was cleared to continue working, it was only last week or so that the top people at the FA read the full report and decided it was worthy of sacking.
Its either a witch hunt by the FA or the FA are not fit for purpose.
"After new evidence, Katharine Newton says Sampson TWICE made DISCRIMINATORY “ill-judged attempts at humour”, but concludes he is NOT racist."
Ok, so I get that there were some dodgy payments and stuff, and that he made some stupid comments. However, what has he actually done that is so bad? I'm not being difficult, I just really don't know. Looks like a player hasn't been picked and it didn't go down well reading through the BBC Live Feed.
Watch as FA bosses and Aluko appear in front of MPs
So how did this new bit of key evidence just come to light?
Not much by the looks of it. Think its more a case of the FA trying to make it look like they know what they're doing if people read past the headline.So how did this new bit of key evidence just come to light?
Well... if the former, they're not fit for purpose anyway of course!Its either a witch hunt by the FA or the FA are not fit for purpose.
To my mind this just reinforces the thoughts of many CCFC fans (and other clubs) that the FA is a toothless old boys club stuck in last century paying lip service to reform and its duties. The same can be said of the EFL too.
'Serious doubts' over whether FA bosses should continue as evidence is questioned
Greg Clarke was also chairman of the EFL 2010 - 2016 at a time CCFC fans needed help he and his organisation turned to look the other way (it hasn't changed since his promotion to the FA). Much as the EFL and FA have always seemed to do on major issues, they have paid lip service hoping it would go away
serious reform is needed but the amounts of money involved you cant see the clubs (members) seeing anything other than self interest
FA & EFL not fit for purpose
Interesting that the FA made a second payment to Aluko
