Clattenburg to move to Saudi Arabia

Good riddance as far as City are concerned. Opportunity for new ref's preferably get them from outside the country without soft spots for rags or spuds.

He's a regular PAYE employee isn't he?

I honestly don't know how it works with referee's which is why I asked. Are they not under contract?

Hes probably one of the better ones (out of a really bad bunch) to be honest.

Did you see arses v hull game? he sure went out with a bang

Still, wouldn't stop him fucking off - the only reason players can't do it is that their old clubs won't release their registration which under FIFA rules will effectively ban them from playing professionally. All contracts have escape clauses, can imagine he had a mandatory minimum notice period he would have had to work off and after that he was free to go, even notice periods aren't really that binding.

That penalty he gave against us for Spurs for a Sterling "handball" is one of the most corrupt decisions I've ever seen.

He's 100% bent. No doubt in my mind.

Absolutely, he turned his back on the ball so no idea how it was deliberate handball, not that it hit his hand.
