Wolves table motion to scrap VAR

Wolverhampton Wanderers have formally put forward a proposal to end Video Assistant Refereeing starting next season.

The resolution will be on the agenda at the Premier League’s next annual general meeting on 6 June.

As with any change to the rules or structure of the League, the vote would need at least 13 other member clubs to join Wolves if VAR is to be scrapped.

The Black Country club feel they have been disproportionately affected by poor decisions from officials this season following VAR review and would prefer to get rid of the system. Originally brought with the intention of eradicating key mistakes by the on-pitch referees affecting the outcome of matches, VAR has become a lightning rod for criticism and a bugbear for supporters who feel that it is killing the spontaneity of the game.
