Premier League faces calls to increase funding for cash-strapped PGMOL
Referees’ body’s reserves have fallen to almost zeroTraining programme under threat without more cash
The Premier League is facing demands to increase its funding of referees because of a cash shortfall at Professional Game Match Officials Ltd.
The Guardian has learned that PGMOL’s cash reserves have dwindled from about £4m to almost zero in recent years as a result of the increased costs of training and operations, exacerbated by the introduction and growth of VAR.
