It has emerged that included a six-month fling with a woman there over the age of 18.

She had no problems about her involvement with Sampson, the Daily Mail reported.

He was previously probed on two occasions over claims by England striker Eni Aluko of ­racism, harassment and bullying but he was cleared both times.

FA bosses must face a parliamentary inquiry into the investigations. He denies all accusations.

 His alleged fling lasted six months with a woman over the age of 18 from the Bristol Academy
