I for one am happy about this decision - the FA might AT LAST investigate Man U and their agreements with the FA and the refs association.
: Sorry neil, but there are too many occurences of games being thrown in front of millions. Unfortunately, the more money in sport, the more is at stake. Boxing, Cricket, Baseball, Horse-Racing have all been rocked by Match-fixing scandals (and I'm sure there are a lot more). We can't be so naive as to say it could never happen in our beloved beautiful game... I'm not judging Bruce one way or the other as I have no clue about the facts, but it happens all the time in the world of sport, we just don't notice it!
: If Bruce is innocent, good luck to him... but it is probably going on somewhere. The way UEFA pander to the wants of the big clubs, the way the FA seem to have their favourites and punish offences in such an inconsistent manner all point to some form of manipulation going on.
: It's out there...somewhere!
