Mike Dean demoted to Championship
Mike Dean demoted to Championship
The official has endured a difficult December, following
a number of controversial Premier League decisions, and will now officiate in
the second tier
Mike Dean has been demoted to the Championship following
fierce criticism of his officiating over the festive period.
The referee endured an eventful December, with his
decisions to send off Sofiane Feghouli during West Ham’s clash with Manchester
United, and his reticence to dismiss Ross Barkley during the Merseyside derby
at Goodison Park also came under scrutiny.
While Dean has since refereed an FA Cup fixture between
Tottenham and Aston Villa, and Stoke City’s victory over Sunderland, the
official has been ordered to take a step away from the Premier League for a
weekend.
Dean will be the man in the middle as Leeds United take
on Barnsley in a Yorkshire derby.
Leeds are currently third in the Championship table,
seven points behind leaders Newcastle, while Barnsley lie 10th.
