How does Tadic ever get a game. Surely his sulking permalook is nailed on grounds for dismissal.
Anyway, as far as i know the contract was offered after she made it clear that she would never play for Sampson again. Her comments about playing for England for another 4 years, seem no more than her stating her career aims, rather than anything to do with what else has gone on.
Rarely disagree with you SOS but this is from the left wing equivalent of the daily fail. Not an independent viewpoint. Listen to her being interviewed on t’BBC and you can get a feeling her allegations don’t stack up… I may be doing the woman an injustice and will apologise if subsequently a jury or panel find in her favour (inevitably)
Have there been other players agreeing? I have not seen that. I have not read as much as some of you on here but after I saw the interview with Aluko, my first impression was Nope - I don’t buy that.
As has been said, two independent enquiries so far and a “witness” who failed to appear as well as Aluko herself not being fully cooperative. She may well have been paid a lump sum but lots of businesses pay nuisance payments to avoid legal costs, even when they are blameless.
If however others have said the same as Aluko now, it could be very different.
The enquiries were a farce. They said they couldn’t identify a player(lie) and failed to interview an important witness until after(yes after) they had released their findings. They also refuse to release video footage that could prove it one way or another. Why is that?
Asante and Sanderson have both also voiced concerns.
Soz if that came across as harsh. I do business with the FA and they are honest in their day to day business dealings - stuff that goes on at the coalface, so to speak, I dunno tbf…
think this is a lot like Hillsborough tbh, we need to keep having enquiries till we get the verdict we want. If it takes 30 years to obtain justice for the Ebola 1, then so be it imo.
You would think that if there was a problem. then that would be clear from the way the players interact with Sampson. It would appear that he has their support!
