The allegations were made by more than one player and are said by the FA chairman, Greg Clarke, to range from the “trivial to the very serious”.

... But even by the FA's standards, its handling of the Mark Sampson affair is the worst many can recall.

1. What exactly was it that Sampson did with female players at the Bristol Academy,

Some England players past and present have told the BBC they were fully aware of rumours about Sampson's relationships with players before he became England boss. Women in Football goes further, saying the FA was made fully aware of allegations before Sampson's appointment. But those involved in his recruitment deny this. So what is the truth?

Gotta Get A Grip
