About time they announced it, we've all known since June! Hope
to see the openness and transparency he showed in the USA
implemented here.

Good to have it confirmed. Plenty for him to do but his track
record in MLS at least seems promising from the outside. The
release of VAR audio like Inside Review in MLS is an urgent
must.

This is brilliant news and is an announcement that most of us
have expected for a while now. Hopefully refereeing and VAR
standards will improve under his leadership.

A much more suitable candidate for this role than his
predecessor in every way. Hopefully, this will lead to more
transparency from PGMOL and improvement with the implementation
of VAR.

I doubt it will be anyone from a refereeing, or even football
background.

I hope Mr Cann is involved in his regime too…. Webb, Cann and
Mullarkey all together again isn’t a bad trio to have on board!

Does anyone have any further details of the Elite Referee
Development Plan?
The powers that be keep mentioning it but there seems to be
nothing concrete in terms of what has been publicised.
I am pretty certain that the ERDP has started because Riley was
recently interviewed at a game, of which he was watching a 2B
referee who was a part of the plan.

An appointment to be welcomed, but with a word of caution. HW
will have to work within the confines set by the PGMOLs
"Stakeholders" - The Premier League, the Football League and the
FA. These are the bodies paying the piper, so they get to call
the tune.
HW may well find that he is operating within more of a
straight-jacket than was the case with his current, and
previous, employers.
I sincerely hope he has the courage and the "licence" allow his
referees to officiate the games without fear or favour and
attack some of the cancerous elements we see weekly. The game
will be a better spectacle for it.
