He's set to leave his job as the women's national team football manager. I feel for the poor bloke. It feels like he's been the victim of a witch hunt. Since that black lass made the complaint, after not being a regular anymore, he's been at the centre of two investigations and he has been cleared by both. 'Kick it out' have a ****ing lot to answer for. Clearly they aren't going to stop until they get the verdict that they want and now this guy's job is untenable. It's been an absolute disgrace.
He's a racist arrogant prick and he can do one as far as I care. Shame on the FA for trying to cover his arse.
Cleared of 2 investigations. Now he's leaving it's a sign of guilt apparently. I hope Aluko never plays for England again.
Cleared of two investigations yet he came out saying that he needs to learn how to communicate better and Aluko has been paid off. Go figure.
You missed the little bit off where he said he welcomed the investigation and could maybe look at improving his communication skills. Aluko also accepted the 80k three months before the Euros to try and keep disruption down before the tournament. He, apparently, made a comment about ebola. Not the best thing he could have said but you really think that makes him a racist? I thought it was pretty telling in the last game when a black girl led the full squad over to celebrate with him when a goal had been scored. So that tells me the black people who actually know him and are around him, don't think of him as a racist.
you also missed out about after she reported him aluko got dropped from the squad. Also about how he made a joke about another black girl about being a criminal. Both now funnily enough dropped completely Depends how you define racism, he's obviously made mistakes and it might be 'banter' in his eyes but seems to have screwed up himself. As for being cleared, its the bloody FA and they are made up of dinosaurs. Guess we'll find out the full story later on
Sacked apparently not to do with this situation but a 'safeguarding' issue from when he was at Bristol academy.
A joke about another black girl which he has flat out denied and which was apparently said over 2 years ago but only mentioned now. I would drop a layer who accused me of being racist too. I define racism on the intent and tone of somebodies words. If I go up to a black lad and say oi oi nigga what's happening? That's not me being racist at all. If I go up to a black lad and say what you looking at you ****ing nigga, then that's out and out racism. That's my stance on it anyway.
Yep. That's interesting. Funny how that is only coming out now. My first reaction is witch hunt to find a reason to sack him, but I'll also wait to see what comes out cos of the potential nature of it.
Maybe they should go back to that Hope woman, who was ****ing hopeless. From memory, she had her favourites and was a right arse. But, who ****ing cares.
Yeah it seems a bit vague and important to say that he was apparently cleared. Seems odd though I'm sure it will all come out.
If I walked up to to a bloke in a pub and said "oi oi **** what's happening" I'd expect a slap for acting like a twat. You can only use "abusive language" in a non offensive way with people you are mates who know and understand it's banter. I get what you mean but the person on the receiving end may not find it ok at all. I suspect he believed he could say whatever he wanted and simply refused to do the reasonable thing and apologise for being a dick. When you make a mistake you should be given the chance to make it right. For the FA to pay out tens of thousands says he did something wrong and failed to then do whatever was necessary to do the right thing imo
Yeah but they also say there was boundary issues between him and players which were considered unacceptable. A lot to come out in this I think.
So it sounds like he's been unprofessional and shagging the players. Can't say I'd be any different, to be fair. High 5 Mark
