       As seen previously with the PGMOL and my own workplace, you can
       always tell with released statements whether they are
       disappointed to part company with an employee or rather pleased.
       They do seem genuinely disappointed to lose Mr Atkinson.

       I thought I had read somewhere that Moss has left and gone to
       Australia?

       Correct - it's Moss that's Atkinson is replacing!

       Who am I to say but I would have thought that Select Group
       manager was a more prominent position than VAR manager in
       Scotland (no disrespect to my Scottish friends). But with all
       the politics, pressure and personalities in football - who
       knows! I wish Mr. Atkinson the best, I really think Willie
       Collum is going about his job very well in Scotland, sounds an
       exciting time for refereeing up there.

       As said by Adam will be very interesting to see how the
       appointments change with whoever takes over from Martin.maybe we
       will see gillett at the ckttage wearing yellow of course!! on a
       different note is Graham Scott injured or just gone full time
       var.also is tierney injured long term?

       I guess there will be two major issues for the encumbent of
       Atkinson’s role.
       Firstly a full ban on yellow shirts and secondly a continuing
       ban on Gillett being appointed to Fulham games.
       I wish the new person well in taking over whoever it may be.
