Wolves boss Gary O’Neil was contacted through the Football Association after he told them referees may have a disease of subconscious bias towards bigger clubs.
The FA have asked O’Neil for his comments following his post-match comments following Wolves’ last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Manchester Town.
John Stones’ injury-time header was eventually awarded following an on-field review by referee Chris Kavanagh and was later disallowed for offside, with Bernardo Silva placed in front of goalkeeper José Sa.
O’Neil remained calm in his post-match comments and reiterated that he does not believe there was bias, but will now have to give an explanation for his comments to the FA, who will decide whether to fast-track or not. any additional movement.
O’Neil mentioned on Sunday: “There is no chance that people are deliberately against the Wolves, let’s be clear. But is there something in the subconscious around the decision making? Without even knowing it, is it more likely that you give it to Man City than to the Wolves?
“My senses are heightened when we face Guy Town, are the officers similar? When it comes [Erling] Haaland and Guy Town, is there anything there that, outside of the objective, influences the decision-making?
“They guarantee me there isn’t. But they are human and for Manchester City to score a winning goal in the last minute is something big, something bigger than Wolves’ goal in the last minute against West Ham.
“If I had to displease any person on the street and there was a heavy, insignificant man on the street, I would be afraid of the insignificant man.”
