Says its related to his time at Bristol rather than the current accusations:
The Football Association can confirm that Mark Sampson’s contract as England Women’s Head Coach has been terminated with immediate effect.
Prior to taking charge of the national team in December 2013, Mark was manager of Bristol Academy. In 2014, safeguarding allegations were made against him about his time with Bristol. The safeguarding assessment was that he did not pose a risk working in the game.
However, the full report of that investigation was only brought to the attention of the current FA leadership last week and it is our judgement that it revealed clear evidence of inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour by a coach. It is on this basis that we have acted quickly to agree a termination of Mark’s contract.
In respect of investigations into specific allegations made by the Eniola Aluko in 2016, the FA stands by the findings of the independent barrister Katharine Newton’s investigation. Mark Sampson has denied all of the accusations put to him and no evidence of wrong-doing was found. We will, continue to support the independent investigation as it reviews the recent evidence presented to it and publish and new findings and recommendations.

Yes, but then she spoke out, a lot, and the FA seem to think that that is okay. She shouldn't have taken the cash if she felt that strongly about it. Plus, 80k is a daft amount- she must have been REALLY offended .

All I'm saying the FA intended it to be hush money, it appears they daren't try and take action against her as she's gone on to point out genuine flaws in the investigation

I look at it as no case to answer and no threat to the people he coached as the fa spokesman said.
