When PLC was in charge of UEFA, Oliver was his favorite referee. He did a CL R16 shortly after his promotion to the Elite Group. Now PLC has moved to FIFA.
With Rosetti in charge of UEFA, Taylor has got many significant appointments. It seems that he considers him the best English referee.
An interesting point edy. Wasn't it Collina that wanted Clattenburg for the Euros in 2016, and as previously commented, the FA (Ellery?) wanted Atkinson so they both went.
Yes, that's correct. PLC wanted Clattenburg and Elleray wanted Atkinson. They both went.
But there is another factor to consider. There were 18 referees selected and not 12 as on EURO 2012. If the spots were only 12, I would bet that only Clatts would go.
This time we don't know the spots. Don't forget that 12 cities will host Euro matches. So it is possible that the entire Elite category will be chosen.
