Mark Sampson done one.

Inquiry.

 

Spelling fascist ...

 

So to sum up the last 3 pages, you can make accusations with no evidence and win a compensation payout. You can be investigated about allegations 3 times, be found not guilty in each case and yet still get the sack.

It's a wacky world we live in these days. Happy to be corrected.

 

That seems to sum it up pretty well.

 

No politics. Ta.

 

Do we actually know what he was accused off & then cleared??
I haven’t got a clue despite reading the bbc artical

 

I have not read about what he is supposed to have said, just observing that it might be early to judge.

 

He has been sacked on the strength of an old full disclosure enquiry that his employer hadn't before thought to be of much consequence.

All he can do now is keep his powder dry until he is in a position to challenge the decision of the FA. It seems that everyone is gleefully dispatching him to the bad lads bin.

He may be guilty as sin, I don't know, but if it turns out that this is all over-egged vitriol then there will be a big financial payday, but his reputation will not recover. I think the whole turn of events smacks of something not right, but ...

 

Absolutely this. It is simply remarkable that a someone loses their job because the job they are paid to do - make hard decisions, is not only carried out to the best of their ability and judgement, but also done very successfully.

 

And Pearson

 

It would be remarkable but that isn't what happened

 

You seem to go out of your way to emphasise your evenhandishness, yet consistently push an opinion that is judgemental and damning. Have you considered that others might have an endgame that needs the oxygen of social and national media?

 

The temptation must be unbelievable. How can a bloke do the job anyway.
Can you imagine after the match' him going over the game while they're stripping off. Right girls all in the bath.
It's ****ing stupid.

 

Smacks of FA ineptitude, surprise surprise.
For such a high profile job, I can't believe they haven't carried out very careful vetting. The ongoing investigation by Bristol Womens FA should have come to light. Looks like they chose to ignore this.

 

And yet as the FA say he has done nothing illegal and this is seperate to the Aluko situation. I would imagine Sampson is sorting himself a good lawyer.

 

Isn't a part of this whole furore based on the fact that Aluko thought she should not have been dropped and that he must have had an ulterior motive for it?

 

But references from previous employer would have alerted them of the ongoing investigation AT THE TIME had they bothered to read them.

 

No.

 

Okay, maybe not; but what is this quote, from the Guardian, saying?
