Get the refs?

Fans of all clubs get sick and tired of managers blaming referees for defeats. Every week there is another manager moaning on and on about referees decisions. Isn't it amazing that managers only moan when they lose?Ofcourse it cannot be the mangers fault? or their teams? or tactics? or simply beaten by a better team? No chance, it was the referee.
When will supporters stop accepting this nonsense? Ofcourse bad decisions are made. But when did you ever see a manger come out and say " we won -but the referee gave us great decisions -they should have had 2 penalties, and two of ours should have been sent off."

 The real solution to this problem can never appear. In other words, no game will ever be refereed to the satisfaction of all concerned. Added to that is referees do, and will make mistakes.
The nearest solution is one that I cannot believe has not been adopted by The Premier League. It is this...............
Get the best referees in the WORLD to the English Premier League.Why not?
The EPL game is world wide now with international players in every team in the Premier League. Referees are the 'key' aspect of any game. One decision by a ref can determine trophies, or relegation, or a manager getting the sack. So us fans must demand we have the best referees in the world.
Money? yes its at the root of all football issues these days. but how can Wayne Rooney demand 300,000 pounds a week, and yet a ref is paid much, much less than any Premier Player? 
We now have huge sky tv money, sponsorship and transfer dealings  and so the solution must be pay the worlds top referees well, and they will come. If Rooney is on 300,000 pounds a week why is it acceptable to pay a ref a fraction of that?
I would suggest a referees pay to be in the region of 400,000 pounds per year, with three year contracts that will appeal to top referees from all over the world. 
I believe there are around 20 referees on the Premier League list. So less than  10 million pounds per year for the Premier League for the worlds top referees. That is small money in the world of Premier Football. A ridiculously low price to pay for better quality refereeing. There is also the strong possibility of sponsorship for such high profile referees joining the premier League.
There are so many good reasons to attract top world referees to the EPL, and with this action the standard of refs will improve overnight. 
Head hunt them Premier League -get them here now!
Premier League - wake up and get the best - we deserve it and need it in the Barclays Premier League, and hopefully it will improve the game, and also stop Premier League managers moaning about the standard of referees.
