       He made a right dogs dinner of the PGMOL when it was under his
       command, which definitely set back the progression of domestic
       officials for years, resulting in a large black hole of FIFA
       representatives for starters.
       We hardly saw any of the up and coming officials given a chance
       like we have today for trial games and experiencing the top
       flight. Yes, some still need to develop further, however the
       future is a lot brighter than what it was under the Sheffield
       Stroller.

       That's the point that he spectacularly doesn't get, in his many
       interviews he carries out he constantly makes out that all was
       rosy when he was in charge.  It really wasn't, he had cliques
       between the refereeing groups, sacked Clattenburg and was forced
       to reinstate him, demoted Stroud and Tanner only be forced to
       cancel that as they hadn't had annual reviews as required by
       their contracts, and Rob Styles quit at a young age citing a
       lack of support from PGMOL and the FA.  He showed higher levels
       of incompetence than referees have.

       He will be frothing at the mouth tomorrow after the poor
       decision at Old Trafford in the Cup.
