Yeah but I assume they got through all the regular courses, qualifications etc you have to go through to become an umpire, didn't they? If a former player or manager wants to go through the regular process of becoming a ref or match official he's obviously free to do so, like any other person...
Genuinely surprised that it's half and half in the poll right now, it must be a wind up or knee-jerk reaction to the game because no sane person would think that's a good idea :lolol:
