Read our privacy policy Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has said VAR officials “just need everyone’s patience to get it right”, as clubs and managers were told that overt criticism of the system damages the competition itself in meetings leading up to the new season. That will primarily involve a new “referee’s call”, influenced by other sports, where the threshold for VAR to intervene will be significantly raised. The Premier League are keen to move away from the current situation that sees decisions given when neither players nor spectators see anything wrong, or when even VAR requires forensic scrutiny. The fans’ group said “all of our work on VAR since its introduction into English football has shown it is deeply, deeply unpopular with match-going fans”, while stating that such polls “make the Premier League appear to be in denial”.
