While I think Oliver and Taylor come across well, Riley's management style seems to be a bit weak. The policy seems to be if there is enough people complaining then we will change it. While I think it is good to have an open approach and take in views from all areas of the game ultimately the PGMOL are supposed to be refereeing experts yet the approach to VAR seemed to be start off with minimum intervention and then see how people like it. The approach should have been set out with a clear philosophy and reasoning, to me it seems rather muddled and reactive.

While we might not agree with everything they do, the stronger management style of the likes of Rosetti and Collina is surely more desirable. If I was Mike Riley I would try and copy what happened at the EURO as closely as possible. To be fair, that is probably easier when you are dealing with the likes of Cakir rather than Jon Moss.
