Sacked with a gagging order.
100% was set up by somebody in PGMOL who had it in for him
But do you have to like everybody to be a ref or an official, PGMOL could have easily sorted something out by not involving him in Liverpool games, so I think there is more to this than he's said this or that or messing about in his own free time.
The Whole of the setup at PGMOL is bent to the core and crazy shit happens to help or prevent teams getting results
the temptation is always there and officials can be bought to turn a blind eye or control a game, Officials are ordered and controlled by the top bosses, that's how they help and earn top games up the ladder
If you watch a weekend of Premier League games you see so many things happen that just doesn't add up
Yellow cards fly out of the pockets of the ref then you see players getting away with late fouls or dirty fouls
