Women's Football/Mark Sampson

[Saddleworth2]

Holds about as much legitimacy as FIFA having its own ethics committee investigating it. I don't have an opinion either way as I haven't really followed this case but the FA are a mix of bumbling incompetence and corruption.

It would certainly seem so!

It seems from reading the reports back in July and early August and even the interview that she gave to the BBC she seems to be clutching at straws and throwing any sort of mud around to hope it sticks.

Looks more like a 30 year old footballer gets dropped from national team for not being as good as all the other young players coming through. Sour grapes comes to mind.

Apparently not!

Looks like they've taken the dirt they had on him and used it to bin him off in an attempt to scapegoat him and move it along, hoping no one continues to ask what the fuck the FA has been doing. Or they *just* found out about him banging one of his players 3 years ago and it's all completely unrelated to this clusterfuck...

Oh you!

The FA are morons beyond belief!

This.

Won't admit to hiring a dodgy coach. Instead pay him off and blame it on something that happened years ago. Absolute coincidence today it was revealed that texts sent by him and other players during the alleged incidents are in the hands of a parliamentary commitee.

It's all about supporting a black female player who has claimed she was racially insulted. She never got her way because she probably wasn't good enough or was past it, despite having two separate independent inquiries neither of which found in her favour.

In these PC times the FA are shit scared of being called out so found a way of removing the coach. Shocking!

The current squad, and many from the past don't have a problem with him.

There's going to be another investigation next month that is not being done by the FA, which is why they're panicking and fired him over something they probably knew when they hired him.

^^^^This

It will be interesting to see whether he goes to court/tribunal over this - hes done a damn fine job with the girls and what the FA have sacked him for appears to be something they already knew about when they took him on

If you knew anything about the ability of the player in question you probably wouldnt have posted such drivel.
