New England women’s coach Phil Neville will not be punished over sexist tweets that have overshadowed his appointment, the Football Association said on Wednesday. They included a 2012 post that said: “U women of (sic) always wanted equality until it comes to paying the bills #hypocrites”. “I am fully aware of my responsibilities as the England women’s head coach and am immensely proud and honoured to have been given the role. In a letter to the group’s chief executive, Glenn said the FA only learned of some of Neville’s tweets on Tuesday. It said it was “disappointed at the apparent lack of transparency and process in the appointment of Phil Neville as the new manager for the England women’s football team”.
