Howard Webb ‘will announce losses of £900,000 at PGMOL’

PMGOL -Chef Howard Webb will, according to a report of almost £ 1 million, announce to the body.

The Body, Full Name Professional Game Match Officials Limited, is responsible for referee matches in England, including the Premier League, but will bleed money and will again post large losses this year.

According to the Telegraph, the losses of £ 379,000 last year were set at £ 1.8 million, so that the total amount has been brought to almost £ 3.4 million in the last three years.

Research is regularly aimed at the body, although increased transparency is aimed at regular communication methods, including explaining decisions in real time on social media, the testing of referees microphones during games and showing a regular referees to show and explain decisions.

However, there are inconsistencies, in which the report suggests that a camera would regularly disappear on one land early in the VAR era and that camera coverage is not consistent from stadium to stadium in the upper flight.

However, the most important issues are considered financial, because it also suggested that PGMOL has made plans to cover a potential tax assessment of HMRC, which surrounds a debate about whether referees with a lower league can be classified as self -employed. It took a decade and went to the Supreme Court.

There are still complaints about referee standards in the competition, with a decision that was destroyed just as recently as Evanilson was sent against Manchester United last week.

However, there is reportedly a conviction inside that the standards have been high since the goal of Luis Diaz against Tottenham at the end of 2023 was wrongly excluded from offside.

Nevertheless, Webb is said to be lost with money that year after year, to tell clubs that they should increase the long -term budgets if they want the highest standard for official.

A recent introduction to the Premier League is now semi-automated exterior, which was introduced in April. So far there have been no major complaints, but it is suggested that some officials are concerned about the technology, which is provided by genius sports and various employees used for Hawk-Eye.

That means that there are concerns, both on and outside the field in terms of the body, from financial to the use of technology. Earlier this year, meanwhile, David Coote was fired after he was admitted as criticized Jurgen Klopp and admitted to take drugs.

It is also reported that two psychologists for top referees have left PGMOL at the beginning of the year and have not been replaced.
