The Football Association is facing new questions about a potential cover-up after announcing Lee Kendall, England Women’s goalkeeping coach, would not face action over allegations he spoke to Eni Aluko in a mock Caribbean accent and releasing a statement to “wish him well for the future” while concealing the fact he had admitted her accusations were true.

Kendall resigned from his position on Thursday despite a statement from the FA saying its four-week investigation into his conduct, sparked by Aluko’s evidence in a parliamentary hearing into the Mark Sampson affair, had “decided that no further action was necessary”.

What that statement did not mention, the Guardian can reveal, was that Kendall had admitted to putting on a Caribbean accent and making a number of comments to Aluko in keeping with her submissions last month to the digital, culture, media and sport select committee that it was another “example of an ignorant mindset and behaviour towards me”. Aluko, whose complaints about Sampson eventually led to a full apology from the FA, had said she did not believe Kendall was being malicious or deliberately offensive but highlighted his conduct to demonstrate the ignorance she had to endure in the England setup.

Kendall’s admission leaves questions about why the FA, already accused of putting together a “sham” inquiry to clear Sampson, would state publicly it felt no action was necessary – a line it has now accepted was untrue – and then released a statement that appeared to exonerate the goalkeeping coach.

“The FA has completed its investigation into allegations made by Eniola Aluko regarding Lee Kendall and it was decided that no further action was necessary,” the statement read. “Despite the FA’s conclusion, Lee Kendall has decided to resign from his position as goalkeeping coach of the England Women’s senior team. It is Lee’s choice to focus on the future and on pursuing his career elsewhere. We wish him well for the future.”

The Guardian has asked the FA for an explanation as to how Kendall could be under investigation for speaking to a black player that way, and admit it was true, only for the organisation to release a statement that made it appear as though he had been cleared of any wrongdoing. The governing body declined to comment on the record but confirmed that Kendall had accepted the allegations were true. The organisation also admitted, contrary to its own statement, that it did deem action to be necessary and that Kendall would have been required to take diversity training if he had remained in its employment.

No explanation was offered as to why this was left out of the statement or why it was worded to make it seem as though he had been exonerated. The FA did not respond to the question about whether it was a deliberate attempt to cover up the fact that one of its coaches had, as alleged, repeatedly made a black player feel uncomfortable by speaking to her in a fake accent.

You need to earn credits to unlock major characters but it will stop you from earning too much at a time. Of course, you can always buy some with real money.

And Comedy Central literally played the South Park Terrance and Phillip freemium game episode.

Well, I don't know. Will live or die by the design, I suppose. Those jagged lines, Christ. I remember them well.

By GQman2121 Go To PostThat game looked and sounded interesting at e3 when Mattrick was still running things for them. It's probably going to be a great game that no one is going to be playing three weeks after it launches. They'll then give it away for free six months later and it'll have a nice little audience for a few more weeks before dying.

Dominic West is a good shout. His Baltimore accent in The Wire is very convincing. Was shocked when I learned he was English. Little Finger too.

By Zabojnik Go To PostFucking hell, FF Quantum feels sensationally fast & light.

Yeah, Mozilla / Firefox started out really lean and did get a bit bloated & heavy over the years, to the point where I was considering switching to Chrome (which has its own set of problems) or something else. They released Quantum at pretty much the perfect time as far as I'm concerned.

They were the Mauricio Pochettinos of their day, only with actual trophies to their name
