Clubs are pushing hard for referees to have to face up to their mistakes.
It comes after a hugely embarrassing weekend for the officials, PGMOL and VAR because of glaring errors in Chelsea ’s win over West Ham and also Newcastle ’s draw with Crystal Palace.
Managers, players and club execs are all pushing for referees to have to do post-match interviews after games to explain decisions and mistakes. Former World Cup referee Howard Webb is coming in later this year to become the PGMOL’s chief refereeing officer with current refs’ chief Mike Riley stepping down.
