Should Howard Webb go?

[bluemanchester]

Already asked this on referee performance thread but as he is not a referee but their boss I would like to gauge peoples views on a dedicated thread. I think he has overseen a massive decline in the performances of referees and he should carry the can and walk. Todays West Hams disallowed goal is just the latest in many inconsistent decisions that have plagued the game this season, where games are decided by subjective decisions and the unwillingness of VAR officials to overrule senior referees who make mistakes, knowingly or unknowingly. A season where the standard of football, tactics and ability, have been taken back years by orders from those who run the professional referees, referees who if they don't follow orders will likely lose their highly paid, £180,000 per year jobs. What choice do they have.

Doubtful anything would change but yes

 

[decmancity]

He is doing exactly what his paymaster wants, he will be going nowhere.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Ultimately if a large company is failing it’s usually the boss that pays the price. Webb therefore has to go.

 

[hertsblue]

Officiating has got far worse since he took over and an over reliance on Var and they can’t even get that right. But he is doing what his paymasters want so probably get a pay rise after this season.

 

[Chak19]

He should be in prison.

 

[meeesh]

Yes and take Neville with him

 

[Bez]

Yes, he should go to hell for all of his and his minions sins. He's a fiend. Run him out of town with pitchforks. I'd pay to watch that.

 

[Gordyola]

It’s got worse since Webb ousted Mike O’Reily of that there is no doubt both the standard of the refs and the inconsistency of VAR interventions So definitely

 

[waspish]

He has an answer for any decision like it’s subjective! Like I’ve posted we can’t do anything about it var ain’t going and web ain’t going! We just got to be better because we don’t get anything on a plate

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

He should be judged on whether his management of referees and the process of using VAR made things better or worse? The answer is clearly 'worse', so he should go.

It won’t happen but quite a few high profile pundits are calling out today’s VAR intervention an absolute disgrace

Howard Webb and Mike Reilly two of the worst referees we had,in terms of the way they favourably refereed united.

It's no wonder it has been an utter shitshow.

Another “£1m bonus” incoming.

Bent ****.

But is he failing? 10 years ago Scudamore made it clear what strategic outcome they were looking for across seasons and it wasn't that the best team won each year.

Peter Schmicael and Roy Keane gone ballistic live on tv
Don Hutchison (West Ham) same on social media

 

[come-on-barney]

I would like to know if the Sky/TNT commentary and pundit comments are heard by VAR.

 

[DTKOAG]

In general terms I would like to know who decides on appointing the current set of premiership’s referees ?
Truly awful bunch of wankers.
