Mark Clattenburg

This in today's BBC Football News online:
Former English Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has been
appointed as head of Egypt's newly created refereeing committee.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Egyptian Football
Association (EFA) on Wednesday. The EFA's move comes as local
referees have been criticised by a lot of clubs in the Egyptian
Premier League over their officiating this season. In recent
years teams have threatened to withdraw from the league in
protest over what they perceive as poor decisions which have
cost them vital points.
Clattenburg officiated more than 570 domestic, European and
international matches between 2000 and 2017, with two of his
career highlights coming in 2016 when he took charge of both the
Champions League final in Milan and the European Championship
final between Portugal and France.
The 47-year-old left the English top flight in February 2017 to
take over as the head of refereeing in Saudi Arabia, replacing
compatriot Howard Webb.
Clattenburg has also had a stint working in China.

Is he gone from Greece now with this new role? If so I’m sure
you will be happy edy.
Reflecting on his time there may I ask what would be your main
criticism of his management?

Good luck to Clattenburg and to Egyptian refereeing. I never
particularly cared for Clattenburg's style ( though highly
significant people in UEFA clearly did ) A case of " the old
bizarre in Cairo " perhaps. [emoji6]

Presumably no chance then of Clatts replacing Mike Riley...?

There was zero chance of that happening anyway. Elleray may
have gone, but there will still be a lot of traditionalists on
the FA's Referees Committee who won't like Clattenburg.

Him replacing Riley would be the definition of retrograde

Yes, he is gone from Greece now. I am happy about it even
though, I was his supporter when he came.
The only thing that he cared about was his big contract and
appointments. No development, foreign referees even in SL2 (2nd
league). He was never interested to renew the referees and
observers lists. Especially the observers list on all 3
categories are pretty much the same since 2018. Former referees
who are observers for over 20 years, old enough who are only
interested for their fee. Nothing to contribute, no help on the
referees.
IMO his biggest mistake is that he never took the time to learn
the referees (especially on SL2 and 3rd league). These referees
are the future.

Many thanks edy, I was a huge fan of Clattenburg as a referee so
it is a shame for me to read he had such a negative impact on
Greek refereeing in your view, as I hold your opinion in the
highest regard. Hopefully he will have more luck in Egypt.

I was never a Clattenburg fan - far too full of himself and
little regard for authority - but thought most others were
Clattenburg groupies. It’s interesting to see some of the
comments here from many of RTR’s most respected posters and to
realise I was very much not in the minority.
Saudi Arabia, Greece and Chinas gain is very much Egypts loss
