Allan, if this is confirmed it will be a sad day for football in the UK
Mark Clattenburg is one of our better referees and whilst we might not always agree with his decision-mailing, I think that the amount of criticism and abuse he gets from both 'pundits' watching on every angle from 20 video monitors, as well as the armchair critics and keyboard warriors is culpable!
Sad, very sad and I wish him and his family well in whatever they decide to do next

Clattenburg was probably the best out of a bad bunch.

I'll never forget that game against Leeds where he sent off Chopra and Walton his performance was simply hopeless that day. I know it is a game of opinions but after that nonsense I couldn't take him seriously ever again.

Clattenberg as one of the "Elite" panel of referees would have earned over £120k this season but has decided to jump ship mid season, why?, I dare say his salary in SA is mouthwatering and almost certainly tax free. Probably had the heads up from his mate Howard Webb who also jumped ship but in his case at the start of the 2014-15 season. He moved into the role Clattenberg now has after he decided to jump ship and move to a newand probably even higher paid role in MLS.
Whatever happened to notice periods or don't they operate in the world of football. In my opinion Clattenberg should have been made to complete this season afterall his £38k retainer was intended to secure his services for this season.
Another example of money above ALL else attitude which infests the beautiful game these days.

Who is he suppose to have loyalty to exactly? I mean 120k is good money but given the chance to potentially retire a lot earlier (if that's what he wants) and considerably richer it's a no brainer really.
