Can just imagine Jack Grealish or Kevin De Bruyne retiring after earning £400k a week for over a decade to become a ref for 1% of that for the love of the game.
Great idea Howard 👍🏻
(I'm well aware that lower tier players are also going to be targeted for the role as well)
Or make it a leagues cup, pit English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish teams against one another. Would increase interest in the contest.
