Congrats to kav on a fully deserved promotion to uefa elite
category.
Great to have 3 English on the elite list.
Also a word for Nicholas Walsh who has also been promoted.

I'll quote here what I said on the thread in the International
appointments sectiion:
--- Quote from: bmb link ---
>
> Absolutely over the moon for Kav - a deserved promotion imo.
>
> Pleased to see both Nick Walsh, Rob Hennessy and Emily Heaslip
with promotions.
>
> Really happy for Emanuela Rusta as well, I've been watching
her progress for a while now & she is a very good referee. She
recently (last week or 2) made history in Albania when she lead
an all female team of match officials in their domestic top
flight. She will in time replace Katalin as my favourite female
official, but not until Katalin retires!

I wonder who will be his two regular FIFA assistants that’ll be
with him week in week out.
Cook and Hussin possibly?

Ya cook has been his ar1 everywhere this season so he’s a banker
I’d say.
Hussin I think has been all his ucl games but less regular in
the prem.
We could see them being more permenant with kav in prem now with
the promotion

Cook and Hussin are likely to be his pairing. Apart from
Fulham/United (and Brighton/Brentford, but Kav wasn't supposed
to be on that one originally), Hussin has been with him for
every game except for when Kav is on an Everton or Liverpool
game.
