Wolves called for a vote last month.
The PA news agency understands Wolves – who last month called the vote to scrap VAR – were ultimately the only club to back its abolition.The Black Country club were understood to be adamant, even the day before the Premier League’s annual general meeting in Harrogate on Thursday, that they wanted a vote to take place, even though they anticipated a heavy defeat.
The league said it would work with PGMOL on “more robust” training for officials to improve consistency, including an emphasis on speed while preserving accuracy. The league also promised “expanded communications” on VAR from its match centre and through continuing with programmes like Match Officials Mic’d Up.
“We welcome the commitment to improve VAR, particularly in areas that address delays, consistency, and fan experience. Liverpool and Manchester United were among the clubs who were understood prior to Thursday’s vote to be supporters of keeping and improving VAR. A survey of 16,000 United fans conducted by their supporters’ trust found more than 50 per cent supported scrapping it regardless of any improvements that could be made.
