And, despite selecting Foy to officiate the League Two clash between Accrington Stanley and Rochdale this weekend, PGMO have denied demoting the St Helens-born official.
"There are 16 select group officials who are rotated around ten games - it would be remiss of anyone to suggest that he has been demoted," Phil Dorward, head of PR for PGMO, told Goal.com.

Again:ArcspacE said:Webb is back against Newcastle to get things back on track. Allegedly.
Man. U perform about as well at home under Webb as under any other ref.Howard Webb referreed Man U. for the first time in the 2005/2006 season.
Since then:
At OT: 14 matches. 12 W (86%). 1 D (7%). 1 L (7%). 8 Ws (66%) by one goal.
Away: 16 matches. 7 W (44%). 3 D (19%). 6 L (38%). 3 Ws (43%) by one goal.
How have Man U. fared since the 2005/2006 season without Howard Webb?
At OT: 113 matches. 93 W (82%). 12 D (11%). 8 L (7%). 25 Ws (27%) by one goal.
Away: 112 matches. 65 W (58%). 28 D (25%). 19 L (17%). 35 Ws (54%) by one goal.
