You're not wrong. At the very least you'd need to change the assessments and probably import some foreign referees to set an example.
I also think there need to be harsher punishments for making very incorrect decisions. I'm not talking ban them for life, but maybe something more than suspended for one week? Like being sent to referee Championship matches instead.
I guess what I'm actually advocating for is referee pro/rel.
@sensiblepuffin @raumdeuter agree about foreign refs. We have best players and coaches from around the world, why not refs?
It's true. From the FA's website: "Anyone can become a referee with The FA granted that you are at least 14-years-old and a resident of England."
Surely people don't hate living in England enough that you couldn't tempt them with 70k pounds (Stuart Atwell, 2021) or even 48k pounds (Andy Madley, 2021)?
