Gordon Taylor is considering taking legal action against Greg Clarke in a fresh blow for the Football Association chairman, who admitted the organisation has “lost the trust” of the public.
Taylor, the Professional Footballers’ Association chief executive, informed Clarke it may sue over suggestions he had cut adrift a child sex abuse victim. The threat came on another hugely damaging day for the governing body during
http://www.officiallakersshoponline.com/Magic_Johnson_Jersey which Clarke faced the FA Council for the first time since the parliamentary hearing into the Mark Sampson scandal.
Under pressure, Clarke was in a self-flagellating mood, admitting the FA was out of touch with the modern game and promising reform but his words were immediately trounced by the Kick It Out chairman, Lord Ouseley. In an excoriating assessment Ouseley said it was “inconceivable” that Dan Ashworth remains in a job. Ashworth, the technical director, took charge of an original, deeply

In a 2,600-word speech to the council, Clarke again apologised to Aluko and fellow player Drew Spence, who were both subjected to racial remarks by Sampson. He also

“We failed,” Clarke said. “What the last few weeks have exposed is how
http://www.bearsofficialnflproshop.com/Authentic-Josh-Bellamy-Jersey out of step we are. Even when our endeavours and attitudes are well meant we fall short. We have lost the trust of the public, the trust of the football participating community and the trust of those domestic and international partners we need to do our job.”
Clarke personally apologised to Taylor after a bizarre aside at the parliamentary hearing, in which he accused the PFA of refusing to continue funding counselling sessions for a victim of child sex abuse while paying “millions” in salary to Taylor. The man he was believed to be referring to is Andy Woodward, who said he was “humiliated” by Clarke recounting their meeting in parliament. Although the comments made to the digital, culture, media and

“The comments were untruthful, unprovoked and uncalled for and I made it clear to the FA I wouldn’t hesitate to sue if they were repeated outside Parliament,” Taylor said. “A lot of FA council members made a point of coming up to
http://www.authenticwarriorstore.com/Klay_Thompson_Jersey me and saying they found the comments to be unbecoming of a chairman and that they were embarrassed. Greg has personally apologised for what he said and claimed he just ‘lost the plot’ but I’m not sure.”
Taylor said the FA has to use the Aluko debacle as a “turning point” for change or risk becoming a “dinosaur theme park”.
Clarke said he had been “bruised” by the hearing which also heard the chief executive, Martin Glenn, the HR director, Rachel Brace, and Ashworth give evidence. “A storm has blown through us and we have struggled to cope,” he said. “It stripped us of our veneer and exposed some deeper fundamental truths about why the FA’s successes are taken for granted but its failures leapt upon. I believe it is because we have lost the trust of the public and I think this lack of trust is underpinned by three characteristics.”
These characteristics, he explained, are the FA’s huge remit and a perception it lacks competence, a lack of diversity throughout the organisation and – unlike most other national football associations – a failure to properly utilise the experience and skills of senior players and managers.
