The Premier League is always looking to improve. Increasingly criticized in England, especially after the recent exits of Mikel Arteta, Jürgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino, arbitration could evolve in the years to come. The Telegraph says head of refereeing Howard Webb spoke to former players about being part of a next generation of referees. An innovative reform which already interests 12 of them.
Howard Webb has also been committed for months to increasing the number of referees, trying to attract people from diverse backgrounds, while motivating women to come and officiate. For him, “the professional ranks constitute an untapped source” and he thinks that “some players might find refereeing attractive as an alternative career path”. A great desire on the part of the Premier League which sees the PGMOL (Professional Games Match Officials Ltd) being in the spotlight, too often this season.
