This Sampson stuff
What an unbelievable mess.
What is even more interesting is if you look at the timeline the investigation into his conduct at Bristol actually happened after he was already employed by the FA who then sent him on a course in 2015 (presumably to teach him not to sh*g his players). I find it incredibly hard to believe that the powers that be were not aware at all of such an investigation into a current England manager even if it was on the womens side of the game.
I reckon they covered it up at the time and knowing this stuff was likely to come out if the Aluko stuff rumbles on they have decided that a pre-emptive strike which sees them accused of incompetence in the past is preferable to being accused of turning a blind eye to it.
