Report: FA’s Henry ‘racism’ probe goes on

|

THE FA are reported as having met with West Ham’s former head of recruitment Tony Henry over his race row.

Henry received his marching orders from the club after making discriminating remarks against Africans claiming they “can have a bad attitude.”

According to The Sun he is likely to attend a racism awareness course as part of his punishment.

And the paper claims the game’s ruling body could also speak to David Moyes as their investigation into the unpleasant affair continues.

Henry told the Daily Mail it was club policy to not target players from Africa because of concerns over their behaviour off the pitch.

It is alleged Henry said: “We had problems with Diafra Sakho.”
