Referee Mike Dean insists the Football Association´s decision to replace him as FA Cup final referee is "sensible".The FA on Monday announced Alan Wiley will replace Wirral official Dean as referee for the final between Liverpool and West Ham on May 13. The 45-year-old Staffordshire official replaces Dean due to the FA´s policy of not using officials who come from the same area as one of the teams involved.Dean was disappointed but told Sky Sports News: "It was a position where people may have thought it was not quite right. The decision that was made was the only sensible one that could be made, to be honest."
