Premier League referees could soon be training with clubs on a daily basis in a change that could significantly impact the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham.
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick is said to be the mastermind behind the idea, raising it at a conference between club managers and Mike Riley, claiming it could improve the relationship between clubs and officials and allow players to get to know them better as well. It is a plan currently being considered by the PGMOL, according to Mail Online.
Other topics high on the agenda included the appointment of dedicated, specially trained VAR officials as well as the use of late flags from linesmen. Burnley manager Sean Dyche also raised concerns that not enough is being done to stamp out diving in the modern game.
