At their upcoming annual general meeting next month, English Premier League clubs will decide on the fate of video assistant referees (VAR) for the next season.
Wolves have officially proposed a resolution to the Premier League, prompting a vote during the gathering of the 20 member clubs in Harrogate on June 6.
They claim that while VAR was initially introduced with good intentions, it has resulted in various unintended negative consequences that have strained the relationship between fans and football.
"There is no blame to be placed — we are all just looking for the best possible outcome for football — and all stakeholders have been working hard to try and make the introduction of additional technology a success," a Wolves statement read.
“However, after five seasons of VAR in the Premier League, it is time for a constructive and critical debate on its future.
“Our position is that the price we are paying for a small increase in accuracy is at odds with the spirit of our game, and as a result we should remove it from the 2024/25 season onwards.”
The technology has been centre stage north of the border too. Since its inception to the Scottish Premiership in October 2022, there has been continued controversy.
And a recent VAR review panel found 26 decisions had been deemed incorrect between the beginning of the season and May 1.
Many managers such as Killie's Derek McInnes have spoke strongly around changing how VAR is used. While incoming Scottish head of refereeing operations, Willie Collum, has vowed to improve the process.
