Yeah, although I agree with you it's just opened them up to a much bigger precedent. Managers are going to be asking for changes left right & center nowI disagree with most here, and think it's the correct decision.
You're all assuming this is because the FA don't trust him. I believe it's so there can't be a media/Tottenham shit storm should he make an incorrect and potentially decisive call during the match.
His impartiality isn't in question at all, it's just that the FA would rather not deal with months of questions should something debatable happen.
