There would be approximately 100 more incorrect refereeing decisions made if clubs vote to scrap video assistant referees, the Premier League claims.
There would be 100 more incorrect refereeing decisions made per season if clubs vote to scrap video assistant referees , the Premier League has claimed.
It acknowledges that while scrapping VAR would result in fewer interruptions and delays to the game, "significantly more officiating errors would be made , including highly contentious match-deciding incidents, potentially in critically important matches." As the Premier League would be the only major European league to remove VAR if the vote passes, the league warns that it would be "potentially damaging" to its reputation, while English referees would not get major assignments for Uefa or Fifa tournaments "as regular experience operating both on-field with VAR and acting as VAR domestically are critical".
These changes are likely to be welcomed by most Premier League clubs. BBC Sport understands Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham are among clubs who want to keep VAR, but are demanding that improvements are made.But Wolves remain staunchly in favour of scrapping VAR and sent out a briefing paper of their own on Wednesday.
