He's from Altrincham, which is not Manchester.

hi,

isn't it in greater manchester (as per wikipedia)?

asking for a friend...

regards,

gnr

Yes, but Greater Manchester isn't a town or city, it's a county (although one invented). Altrincham is a separate town, like Rochdale, Oldham, bury, Wigan, Salford, etc...

Edit: In fact, to add to this, Altrincham doesn't even have a Manchester postcode, it has a Warrington postcode (WA). Only Salford of the places listed above has a Manchester (M) postcode.

From a financial sense, does this make all EFL officials fully professional? Considering they are all technically in identical roles.

My understanding is that Altrincham, as part of Greater Manchester, is under the administration of Trafford Metropolitan Borough whose headquarters, Trafford Town Hall, was the old Stretford Town Hall.

So I guess it depends how ‘local’ is defined.

Surely this is only what was formally SG1/SG2? as they were already professional

From Assessor (It's not pass or fail) to Observer (you could do better by doing this or that) to "Performance Developer".  What a load of tosh!

Name changes - referee developer now (!) but the people filling these roles these roles remain the same - therein lies the problem - its not the role, its the people carrying out the role that need changing
