Clattenburg quits EPL reffing for Saudi job
http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38993655
Mark Clattenburg is leaving the Premier League to take up a role with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited has announced.
“The PGMOL would like to wish Mark Clattenburg well as he prepares for his move to the Saudi Arabian Football Federation,” the statement said.
“Since joining the PGMO Select Group in 204, Mark developed into one of our top officials, refereeing at the highest level and setting standards for others to follow.
“Mark is a talented referee, he has been a great asset to the English game and hopefully an inspiration to those who want to get into refereeing at the grass roots of the game.
“We understand this is an exciting opportunity for Mark as well as further underlining what high esteem English match officials are held throughout the world game.”
It is understood that Clattenburg, 41, will replace former Premier League referee Howard Webb, who moved to become head of refereeing at the Saudi Arabian Football Federation in 2015. Clattenburg is expected to leave his role before the next round of Premier League fixtures on 25 February.

Why is this an indictment on EPL refereeing. Do you know for a fact that this is not purely a financial move?oloye wrote:Says a lot about the state of refereeing in the EPL.Cristao II wrote:He is a lot better than some of the others....Ugbowo wrote:Really rubbish error prone daft referee.

You're missing Oloye's point.
He's saying that if Clattenburg is one of the top EPL refs, and Clattenburg is rubbish (according to his estimation), then the guys worse than him must be REALLY bad.
The money angle is not in play at all here.

Re: Clattenburg quits EPL reffing for Saudi job
Thanks. I just read OLOYE'S post and not the preceded comment. Point taken. The guy is a clown and as Oloye rightly said, that says a lot about the the bunch of clowns in the League.platinum wrote:Ekorian wrote:Why is this an indictment on EPL refereeing.

Re: Clattenburg quits EPL reffing for Saudi job
Yaaaayyy!!!!!
When someone tells me "God bless you", I ask the question, which God?
God - is just a title as there are many (All false).
I do not want to receive blessings from any other but from YHVH. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel), He is my God.

Re: Clattenburg quits EPL reffing for Saudi job
Yep. 250,000 reasons every week to move from EPL to Saudi PL and frankly I no blame am. And notwithstanding his errors and whatnot, I'm going to miss that character no doubt. He has a way of inserting himself into big games in a dramatic way and like it or not, it's led to a fantastic pay off in terms of Arab money.Purity wrote:Money

See a useless ref like Clattenburg being headhunted to go to what will obviously be a very plum job in Saudi. Same goes for their crap footballers who command a premium over equally talented non english players

Re: Clattenburg quits EPL reffing for Saudi job
Guys Mark might not be the best ref in your view but you do not get to referee the World Cup and Champions League finals if you are a rubbish referee. I might be wrong but did he not also ref the finals of the Euros?Whether you guys like it or not, Mark is one of the best referees in the game right now.

Anyway, he is going to replace Howard Webb who retired from his Saudi gig.

Re: Clattenburg quits EPL reffing for Saudi job
Perhaps it's just me, but I noticed that his referee performances outside England (euros, CL, etc) are different and much better than when he officiates EPL games. Many soft tackles he judged to be fouls outside England would've been judged otherwise in an Epl game. For me it suggests a wider issue that is not unique to Mark.Waffiman wrote:I agree.
