"Jack, you should advise your disciple."

Philip Don frowned and said regretfully, "Jack, you know what? This disciple of yours is the most talented assistant referee I have ever seen. With the current upward momentum, I can assure you. Three years at most, no, only two years, and I can get him to the status of an international assistant referee. At that time, he will also have a wide field of vision, and his income will far exceed that of now. ”

Jack's qualifications are too shallow, and he can only be turned into a referee to enforce the Anglo-African United and the English League C. But in the assistant referee position, there is no such restriction. Because Jack's performance in the assistant referee position was perfect.

It can be said that Jack conquered all the bigwigs of the referee committee. Because Jack's performance in League Two was so amazing, especially because he didn't make any mistakes in his decision.

It's not the same as the referee giving some fouls. Because for a lot of fouls, even the opinions of the referees are different, this kind of thing is really impossible to quantify. So it's easy to get controversial.

But things like corners, touchline kicks, offsides are not the same. This kind of thing can be expressed intuitively. Whoever is whomever is whomever will not be disputed. And Jack has nothing to find fault with in this regard, so Philip Tang can rightly support Jack. Perfect data is everything, and no one can deny it. So Philip Don really has a way to get Jack to become an international assistant referee in two or three years.

Unexpectedly, Jack chose another path.

"The assistant referee is too famous, but it will delay his all-round development. And Jack is not short of money. ”

The salary of assistant referees in the Premier League is still relatively high. With the adjustment of the treatment of Premier League referees this season, the income of Premier League referees per game has exceeded 600 pounds, reaching 650 pounds. A budding referee like Bol can officiate at least 30 Premier League games in a season. In addition, he is also an international referee, and he can also officiate some European competitions, plus domestic cup competitions, it is normal to have more than 40 games in a season. As a result, he earns nearly £30,000 a year, which is already the most refereed.

The Premier League's assistant referees are also being paid well at the moment, earning £400 a game. Over the course of a year, the average assistant referee is tens of thousands of pounds, and the income is already quite good.

More importantly, the development of the Premier League is getting faster and faster, and the income of players is also increasing faster and faster. Although the income of referees is not as good as that of players, they must also keep up with this pace, and there will be a big increase in income.

"Jack, is it really decided?"

"Yes."

Philip Don sighed. I finally found a talented assistant referee like Jack Lee, and I wanted to promote him well. It's a pity that this kid has his own ideas.

But Philip Don wasn't angry. He likes judges with personality and those who are decisive. And Philip Tang can understand Jack's choice, so he just has some regrets.

"Jack, but even if he gets the qualification to referee the football league, he can only enforce the Anglo-African United and the English C. You have to understand that. ”

Philip Don's style is tough. But that doesn't mean he's blindly tough, and he knows some tactics when it comes to refereeing bigwigs like Jack Taylor.

"I understand."

"Okay, wait for my news. I'll talk to Keith. ”

…………

"No, it's too fast."

The referee committee usually has a few small meetings every two weeks. But the usual meetings are all bragging, and there is nothing serious. Such an ordinary meeting, the Premier League referee is also qualified to participate. But it's because there's nothing serious about it that many referees won't be there.

Once a month or two months, the referee committee will hold a big meeting. In such a meeting, important issues will be discussed. For example, some controversial penalties that have occurred in the past two months, as well as the punishment scales to be standardized, etc., need to be discussed. Of course, there will be some personnel issues that need to be discussed.

When Philip Tang asked Jack to make him the referee of the football league, he was immediately opposed by most of the people present. Despite the support of Philip Don, those present knew that Jack Lee was a disciple of Jack Taylor, but they were still against it.

"I'm against it too. Jack Lee is a great assistant referee, we all agree. But he was inexperienced and never refereed. How can he become a referee at the national level? ”

"Yes. The last time he was able to become an assistant referee in the football league, it was an exception. I firmly oppose him becoming a national referee, and his repeated exceptions are undermining our system. ”

English football is inherently conservative. The same is true of the referee committee, which is also conservative in the minds of most of the old referees. There may be a fierce general like Philip Don, but it is impossible to completely change that.

Jack Lee?

For many veteran referees, the last time he was made an assistant referee in the soccer league was to give Jack Taylor enough face. But this kind of thing must not be repeated over and over again.

There were a few more reasons for the last promotion. After all, Webber and Jack were very good in the final of the promotion play-offs in the Anglo-African Union. But not this time. Just because you're a disciple of Jack Taylor and you're a referee appreciated by Philip Don doesn't mean you can ignore the rules for referee promotion.

Referee of the Premier League, referee of the Football League and become a referee at the national level. The elite group of national referees refers to the referees of the Premier League, and the ordinary group refers to the referees of the football league.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Judge Jack Lee has done a good job. This is a very talented referee. ”

Philip Don thought that there would be a lot of opposition, but he definitely didn't expect that there would be so many opposition. Most people were against it, and this was the first time in Philip Tang's memory.

"Judge Philip and Judge Jack Lee are very good referees and their performance is evident. But that's when he was an assistant referee, not the referee. Referee Jack Lee is a referee who has no experience in refereeing a single officiating experience. ”

'He's a good assistant referee, but that doesn't mean he's going to be a good referee.'

'The referee and the assistant referee are completely different.

Philip Don said a word, and everyone else was against it. Philip Don wasn't a very blind man, but he was a stubborn man. That is, others oppose it, but he insists more.

Hence Philip Don's face gloomy. Originally, he was very dignified, and in another sentence, he was very leader. Now that their faces have collapsed, many of the people present have begun to shut up. Anyway, what they want to express is already expressed.

"I'll say something."

Keith Hackett's face was frosty as he saw Philip Don's fingers tapping quickly on the table in front of him. Having worked with Philip Tang for many years, Keith Hackett has understood that Philip Don is on the verge of exploding.

That's the kind of character that Philip Don is. The more others oppose it, the more he wants to accomplish it. But Keith Hackett can't look at it that way. Philip Don and Keith Hackett are an alliance that is both working to professionalize refereeing. Now the two of them are both prosperous and lossy. So before Philip Don could break out, Keith Hackett interjected.

"Your words make a lot of sense. Jack didn't have any experience as a referee, and the hasty promotion was problematic. ”

The men nodded their heads when they heard Keith Hackett's words. That's what they're talking about, Jack has been in the refereeing industry for less than two years. The current referee of the football league has not been a referee for seven or eight years. Even Webb, who broke the post-World War II referee promotion record, became the head referee of the football league in seven years. Why should you be a referee for two years, and then you will be qualified to referee in the football league.

"But Judge Jack Lee is a really talented referee. We should also strongly support such referees. It would be better for us to suspend refereeing Jack Lee at the national level, but we can give him the opportunity to officiate the Anglo-African United as the referee. It is also possible to give him some opportunities to enforce in the League C. If he performs well, we will give him the qualification of a national referee, and if he does not perform well, we will let him continue to be an assistant referee. ”

Keith Hackett was a compromise. Jack is not given the right to referee the soccer league, but he is given the opportunity to enforce the law as a referee.

It took care of the face of Philip Don and Jack Taylor, and also gave these stubborn old referees in front of them enough face.

"I think it's good."

Those who were in the opposition were aware of Philip Don's temper. Now Keith Hackett gave both sides a step, and soon everyone nodded.

"Okay."

Philip Tang was not very happy with the result. But with so many people opposing, Keith Hackett can be regarded as giving a good plan, so Philip Tang also nodded.
