Amazingly if Souness had questioned the impartiality of the FA as a manager of a high profile club did recently regarding the Arsenal players fines, then maybe he wouldn’t have to reply to the charges.

Following comments by Sir Alex Ferguson, when he reportedly suggested that a deal had been done, the FA announced that it wasn’t taking any action in a statement released on their web site.

"The Football Association has been in correspondence with Manchester United regarding newspaper comments in connection with disciplinary processes after last September's Manchester United-Arsenal match.

"Manchester United, and their manager Sir Alex Ferguson, have confirmed that they do not question the integrity or impartiality of the FA's disciplinary process or those entrusted with running it.

"Having received these explanations, and after further assessment of the reports in question, the FA regards this matter as closed."

One wonders whether Souness’s comments will be assessed in the same light.
