Fuck off ya c**t!![angry3] www.football365.com/news/clattenburg-leaves-premier-league-for-saudi-arabiaI thought he was supposed to be off to China. probably the beginning of a world tour, will end up in the MLS Leading referee Mark Clattenburg is leaving the Premier League after 12 years to work in Saudi Arabia. The 41-year-old Englishman’s move was confirmed by Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the organisation which provides and trains officials for the Premier League, English Football League and Football Association. In a statement, PGMOL said: “The Professional Game Match Officials Limited would like to wish Mark Clattenburg well as he prepares for his move to the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. “Since joining the PGMOL Select Group in 2004, Mark developed into one of our top officials, refereeing at the highest level and setting standards for others to follow. “His accomplishments are numerous and last season saw Mark achieve a memorable treble, on top of another consistently excellent season in the Premier League, as he officiated three major cup finals – the FA Cup final, the UEFA Champions League final and the UEFA Euro 2016 final. “Mark is a talented referee, he has been a great asset to the English game and hopefully an inspiration to those who want to get into refereeing at the grass roots of the game. We understand this is an exciting opportunity for Mark as well as further underlining what high esteem English match officials are held throughout the world game.”

And free of the FA's clutches he will be able to wear short sleeves on the field and show off his Champions League tattoo, the bollix.

I was less surprised when I found out he has taken Howard Webb's place. It seems it's what they want . A top experienced English referee to show how the PL is reffed.
the only English men to ever get near finals these days !
Saudi Arabia is such a rich country they are probably paying millions. They wouldn't have gone otherwise surely.
but I wouldn't go on protest. But then my issue with Saudi Arabia is more about the way the western governments trade with them with very debatable resources and dictators favourite toys, yet the issues are vast and it's mainly hushed up in mainstream media.

The only place he's off to today, buddy, is The Hawthorns, for 1000 sovs and all the pies he can eat (while game in progress)

Thats what the refs get. 1k per game? On the pitch every weekend with all those overpaid divas. Wouldn't blame him for going out there to make proper money.
