Can he take a couple of the other ***** with him
No doubt he will and we will be left with the dregs. I don't think the saudis will put up with the abuse of referees like we seem to.

Premier League referees are, of course, well within their rights to support football teams — few would bother getting into the sport if they didn't grow up following the game — but they must declare their allegiances to the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).
