English Premier League clubs have voted in favour of retaining the controversial Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system next season.
It was reported that 19 of the 20 top-flight clubs voted to continue using VAR at the Premier League’s annual general meeting in Harrogate on Thursday.
The BBC said only Wolves – who last month triggered the vote to scrap the much-maligned system – had backed its’ abolition. In order for VAR to be scrapped, 14 clubs needed to vote in favour of removing it.
The Midlands club had accused VAR of “undermining the value of the Premier League brand” after another season of several debatable decisions.
VAR was introduced in the Premier League at the start of the 2019-20 season with the aim of helping referees avoid clear and obvious errors that had marred matches in the past.
