BREAKING NEWS: FA Apologies!!

Post by Senator WIRES »

:lol:
MARTIN GLENN'S STATEMENT

On behalf of The Football Association I would like to sincerely apologise to Eniola Aluko and Drew Spence.

Based on new evidence submitted to independent barrister Katharine Newton, she has now found that they were both subject to discriminatory remarks made by an FA employee. This is not acceptable.

In her final report Katharine Newton concluded that on two separate occasions Mark Sampson made ill-judged attempts at humour, which as a matter of law were discriminatory on grounds of race within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010. Katharine Newton did however conclude that Mark Sampson was not racist.

She also concluded that there was no evidence to support the allegations that Eniola Aluko was subjected to “a course of bullying and discriminatory conduct” by Mark Sampson.

Our ambition has always been to find the truth and take swift and appropriate action if needed. It was our decision to have the original, second and final investigation to ensure that due diligence was taken. It is regrettable that Eniola did not participate in the first external investigation as this would have enabled Katharine Newton to conduct and complete her investigation sooner.

We will fully support the recommendations from the report.
New evidence from Aluko has revealed the desperate attempts the FA allegedly made to prevent her pursuing her claim that the FA or Sampson had been racist.

She described Glenn inviting her to a meeting in the past few weeks, at which he offered her £80,000 to sign a statement saying there had been no racism. Aluko says that her unwillingness to do so has meant the FA withholding half of that money.

Glenn's statement emphasised that Newton's new report found that Sampson was 'not racist.'

He also pointed out that Newton had found no evidence to support Aluko's allegations that she was subjected to 'a course of bullying and discriminatory conduct,' by him.

So now the Lionesses who ran to celebrate with Sampson should hide their collective heads in shame. I wonder if they would come out and apologize to Eni for being idiotas.
