Premier League teams have been informed by refereeing chiefs that they will come up with a plan to “change and improve” the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system ahead of next season, Anaedoonline.ng reports.
VAR is being implemented for the second year in England’s top flight. However, it has been marred by controversial incidents.
Clubs were told at a Premier League shareholders meeting on Thursday, that changes would be passed on to officials, so that they could work on them this summer.
The plan will revolve around consistent decision-making and marginal offsides. The referees and match officials have been accused of lacking consistency as it concerns red cards and penalty calls.
Similar incidents have been officiated differently, which has caused frustration while several dismissals have been overturned upon appeal.

Meanwhile, Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi has been rated the best player in the Premier League and one of the best in Europe.
Trevor Sinclair, former Manchester City and England winger noted that not many players in the EPL and Europe do what Ndidi does.
Leicester City lost five matches out of seven when the Nigerian international was sidelined due to injury and were defeated only twice in 17 matches that he played.
“I actually looked at Ndidi and thought, there’s not many better than him in the Premier League and probably in Europe,” Sinclair said on talkSPORT via Leicestershire Live.
Sinclair believes that Ndidi, who he described as a “Really good player” is “probably underrated” and “undervalued” but certainly not by his manager, Brendan Rodgers and his team-mates.
He noted that the coach and players appreciate everything the Super Eagles star brings to the former Premier League champions, adding that “He makes them tick.”
