FA Demotes Mike Dean To Championship

English Premier League referee, Mike Dean, who is known for his no-nonsense attitude has been demoted to the Championship.

Reports have it that the official lost his place after he was widely criticized for his officiating during the festive period.

Dean was scrutinized by fans and even past referees for his decision to send off Sofiane Feghouli during West Ham’s clash with Manchester United and failure to dismiss Everton’s Ross Barkley during the Merseyside Derby last month.
