I think Aluko just comes across as a bitter ****er tbh, as he wasn't picking her. The remarks were crass and taken completely out of context undoubtedly look worse, 3 investigations have now failed to find evidence that he's a racist. A bit of a knobhead almost certainly, a racist - no. They canned him for having sex with a player, years before he took the England job.
Depends if you take her side of the story or not. It sounds like he canned her after she initiated the racist complaint in her eyes. I dont believe in things as coincidences. Its just whether you want to believe in her timelime of events or not. Not a coincidence that from being consistently picked on a regular basis as a sub she was suddenly dropped altogether. Not to mention the hush money she got. Then there is the so called hiring of a. Lack actress to act out examples of unprofessional behaviours
It's the kind of think the Kaepernick fella in the states has to deal with We all.know she's been dismissed for complaining. I mean if you made the "joke" sampson did in a private business you could well be fired and sued as a company if you failed to act. I think you really just have to see that it was entirely inappropriate behaviours. If you.look at what the apple head of diversity said recently and had to apologise for you or that stupid dove ad thing you can see people are pretty damned hamfisted about the topic out of fear and stupidity. It's simple small thought first and you won't be in trouble. Do you REALLY think making fun of ebola and drawing attention to a subordinates african origins is smart? Nope. Then the fa decide to play with the hush money to get a favorable comment is utter stupidity.
I watched her interview and she said she went from scoring a hattrick in the last England game she played in, to being dropped completely. She was the leading scorer at the time as well. The only thing that changed in between her last game and the next call-ups was her evidence against Sampson.
I was responding to tobes who believed it wasnt true and that she was bitter. I believe her side of her story but it is just one side (with all the conjecture in her favour). I havent independently validated what she has said which is why I'm not stating it as fact and I'm sure no one else here has researched it either
I most certainly do - great book. It was my introduction to allegories - never knew authors could be so cunning

the wifes physio turned up yesterday afternoon for the weekly session and had bought the physio who set the company up to get her opinion on the next steps. It was real old school physio - in fact at one stage the wife almost kneed the head physio in the mouth as a reflex to one particularly painful prod . I'm just hoping it was a BOGOFF or i'm looking at a £225 bill as they were here for a full 90 mins -the wife did the injury time on her own
Not quite finished, got a bit of filling and painting to do (like hiding the shiny screws and edging) but here the almost finished 'bed above stairs box' as promised...
Looks very well. The thing is if he is a bouncer it's ideal really cos it's much stronger than a bed.
I didn't say anything wasn't true. What I said was that i thought it smacked of bitterness as he'd stopped picking her to start games.
