Bryan King accused the Premier League and PGMOL of secrecy following an update on the VAR situation between Nottingham Forest and Everton.
The ex-Everton scout feels supporters have the same right as teams to hear any VAR tape that is published.
It comes after The Independent (24 April) reported that Forest had accepted the PGMOL’s offer to privately listen to the VAR audio from their 2-0 defeat against Everton at Goodison Park (21 April).
And King, speaking exclusively to Goodison News, has questioned why the deal is still hidden.
“Supporters pay good money to watch their football teams play, so if clubs are entitled to hear the VAR audio, why aren’t the fans?” King stated.
“Is there a secret? If so, what’s the secret? We know there was a complaint, and we know there were three major instances.
“So, who’s trying to bury their tracks? Is it Stuart Attwell’s VAR staff, PGMOL, or the Premier League?
Everton and Nottingham Forest will not be on the best terms with the Premier League.
It seems almost fitting that this dispute occurred during a game between Everton and Forest, two clubs who have had the most drama in the Premier League this season.
After the points deductions, whether justified or not, it is reasonable that both clubs’ supporters be skeptical at this time.
As a result, this private offer will only raise suspicions at Goodison Park and City Ground.
