Out of interest to whom is Riley accountable and could they not sack him?
The shareholders...
Who are the PL clubs. No wonder professional refereeing is on its knees!
And therein lies the fundamental conflict of interest. The person responsible for appointing match officials, for setting and upholding standards is accountable to the very teams impacted by those match officials. It would never be permitted in the commercial / financial world and it should not be permitted in football.
Whilst I agree with what you say, surely the point is that football IS the commercial/financial world.
Sadly we seem now to live in a world where money and profit is everything, and integrity and standards are seen as an irrelevance. We see it every day of our lives. Worst of all, nobody seems to care.
