Do the FA have a case to answer over Eniola Aluko's claims?

I heard her interviewed on 5live last night and thought it sounded a bit iffy tbf.

Why did she refuse to be involved in an independent investigation but tell everyone about further"facts" via national media?

I’m of the view that you go to court to air any grievances and if you win then shout it from the rooftops.

Sounds more like sour grapes to me.

The more i read, the more it stinks.

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)

Possibly, but there are a lot of things that don’t add up and there have been other players agreeing, now they can.

My money says this isn’t going away. It’s going to be big. Endemic might be the term used at the end of all this.

Then again, i might be talking bollocks.

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.

If the enquiry was a farce there needs to be a new and independent enquiry, and pronto.

Hmmmm…

Daniel Taylor has stuck with this. Sampson must hate him by now.

Interesting, white girls coming to Sampson’s defence or something else???

Really, so just because she’s white you’re implying that Aluko must be right?! Ffs.

Read all the thread - there’s more going on than this.

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.

A case of sour grapes?

She’s really not doing herself any favours.

I like the way that the articles keep saying that she hasn’t played for the Lionesses since she made her claims.

However she, herself, has said that she wouldn’t play under Sampson again!!!

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!

Oh, interesting…
