Well said Nigel, but please don't walk away.
Going back many years British refs were rightly regarded as the best in the world. Today that is not the case, watching European matches and World cup matches their are some great refs around the world. So with all the money in the prem why cant they employee say ten of the best in the word. Then relegate ten down to the Championship that might improve standards. After that each season one or two if thought good enough go back to the Prem and so on.
Also as the Championship is regarded as the 6th best league in the world and the financial pluses large therefor decisions taken by refs have a massive impact on the clubs VAR has to come in.
