It’s not the response that would ordinarily be expected from the leader of an organisation that purports to take the fight against racism seriously and had just been sent a six-page document claiming that a cover-up involving a racial allegation had taken place within his own structure.
Greg Clarke, chairman of the Football Association, is certainly facing some tough and harrowing questions about his suitability to run the governing body bearing in mind that was the 14-word reply – curt, dismissive, almost implausible – he emailed to the Professional Footballers’ Association after they told him that they thought there had been a whitewash to “close down” the complaint against Mark Sampson and get him off the hook.
Yet it seems even more extraordinary that it came in response to the first piece of information Clarke would have received that Eni Aluko, the player the FA once championed as an “England icon”, claimed Sampson had made a “racist joke” to her about Ebola and her family, later revealed to be him allegedly telling her
http://www.cowboysshopnfl.com/cowboys+tony+romo+jersey to be careful her Nigerian relatives did not bring the virus to Wembley. Sampson vehemently denies making any racial remarks.
Did Clarke care about the new allegations? Was he not disturbed, to say the least, to hear what was being said against a key employee? And how does Clarke justify his position when he appeared to be so astounded that the PFA considered the
P. A. Parenteau Jersey alleged cover-up serious enough to go to the top of the FA?
It certainly isn’t easy to understand why Clarke
http://www.officialyankeesproshop.com/Todd_Frazier_Jersey should be the one seeking an explanation when the PFA had written to him
http://www.authenticflyersite.com/mark-streit-jersey_c-460.html to
P. A. Parenteau Jersey allege that the FA’s technical director, Dan Ashworth, and director of human resources, Rachel Brace, had overseen a “sham” inquiry to clear Sampson of the allegation that the now-deposed England Women’s manager had asked Drew Spence, a mixed-raced player, how many times she had been arrested.
The PFA had also alleged that Aluko was dropped, ostracised and found her
P. A. Parenteau Jersey 11-year, 102-cap England career being ended for “unLioness behaviour”, a term that has still not been explained properly, within two weeks of agreeing to discuss her experiences in what she was told was a confidential process.
Yet Clarke apparently seemed bemused to think the alleged sabotaging of a player’s international career was any of his business and again when the PFA described the FA’s internal review as “not a genuine search for the truth”. There was, Clarke was told, “incontrovertible evidence that makes it clear the purported investigation was a sham”. It was a “failure to conduct even the
http://www.sandiegochargersauthorizedstore.com/melvin-gordon-jersey-elite most basic investigation”. Over six pages, this evidence was set out, identifying the FA employees who were allegedly
P. A. Parenteau Jersey responsible. Yet Clarke seems perplexed, irritated even, to receive the email.
Was he not alarmed by what he was hearing? Did he not think he should come up with something better than oafishly complaining he had “no idea” why the PFA thought it was his business?
Evidently not – and it is tempting to think the FA might have acted very differently if the allegations involved the England men’s team. You might remember the time Roy Hodgson, at half-time of one match, tried to spin the old Nasa space monkey joke and instructed his players to “feed the monkey”, meaning Andros Townsend. The previous FA regime had contacted every single England player within 24 hours of the story coming out.
As for the FA’s response to this latest self-inflicted wound, the statement released by the governing body ignores the fact Clarke had just been informed about new allegations – not least the claim that one member of Sampson’s backroom staff used to address Aluko with a fake Caribbean accent – even before taking into account the seriousness of the accusations facing two of his senior executives.
