Should Howard Webb go?

Well Richard Masters as sure as hell isn't going to sack the corrupt cun t he employed to fix the outcomes the PL want.

Masters (the PL) contract PGMOL to provide the referees, he can "sack" PGMOL but not Webb himself, but like you said he won't.

Of all the people who should be stepping down it's Masters, an incompetent twat if there was one.

I used to much prefer the PL refs’ style and standard of refereeing compared to what we got served in the CL.

Now I find ours are terrible across the board, while CL refs range from being even worse than PL refs to a few who are actually quite decent.

Fair summation.
 
In answer to the OP, unquestionably yes. If you are in charge of an organisation that is constantly failing, constantly issuing public apologies for incompetence, and most crucially, is seemingly getting worse, you should absolutely go. Quite aside from the awful officiating week in, week out, you have the underlying stench of corruption and nepotism about the whole set up. From the David Coote saga, to Clattenburg, to Anthony Taylor being allowed to lie about his obvious footballing allegiance. The PGMOL is a bent, unaccountable shit show.
 
The introduction of VAR followed a year of training for officials. An entire year (or season) for them to look at VAR and do what? They already know the laws so it must have been to get consistency in the decision making process, yet that is what is most clearly lacking.
Arms round random forward = foul, arms round Haaland = play-on. stamp on knee = red car unless it's Doku when a new "glancing blow" interpretation is made up on the day. The head-butt on Haaland v Arsenal was soft but others have been sent-off for less.
I've nothing against VAR, however I'm 100% against the way it is implemented. There is absolutely no excuse for the high degree of inconsistency and Webb has to go if he can't (or won't) resolve the problem. Unless of course PGMOL is funded by the Premier League ie. by the broadcasters, in which case we might as well give up now as it will never change.

As with any technology it isnt the tech itself its the idiots using it, as someone said here, they are allowed to mark their own homework with zero accountability and even when they do get it glaringly wrong whats the penalty, a one game suspension, IF arsenal wint the title and west ham get relegated of the back of that one decision that is a 100m incorrect decision that affects thousands of people and there will be no pushback.
