He was linked with going to China but also according to the BBC 'close sources' to him mentioned that he's fed up with the poor amount of support refs get in the PL. Edit: Now going to officiate in Saudi Arabia..

ealingfox Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Wondered why so many Middle East based Twitter accounts were tweeting the Saudi Arabian FA this morning. My Arabic isn't great so could only roughly translate the first part as 'Announce'
Izzy Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Good luck to Clattenberg I say. He's achieved everything he can in the PL and reffed all the major finals in world football. Can't blame him for chasing the money and a new lifestyle. A bit of a kick in the nuts for the PL though...

Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Shame really, losing one of the countries best ever officials. Good luck to him. Can certainly see why he's gone.
Tuna Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Was Clattenburg the one who apologised to Hull at half time for fcucking up a decision? Good on him, nice to see a ref acknowledge mistakes. Too many arrogant prats like Dean, Taylor and Pawson at the moment.
Super_horns Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Trouble is the rubbish refs will be given more games to mess up now..

Essentially he will be tutoring their current structure.
jammie82uk Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 After seeing Manchester City only getting fined £35,000 for breaching anti doping rules three times What's with the crazy outcomes on fines from the FA recently Mourinho kicks a bottle And because it might have endangered someone £16,000 fine and a one game ban Slaven Bilic gets a £8,000 fine for destroying a microphone with someone having to move out the way of the wire to avoid injury Arsene Wenger gets a 4 game ban and £25,000 fine for improper conduct. Andre Grey gets a 4 game ban and £25,000 fine for racist comments posted on twitter
Matt Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Imagine a referee resigning and moving to another country being a news story!! Oh....
BigWesMorgan Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Why are people surprised? If you were working in the U.K. In which you were abused time after time and someone from Saudi Arabia says they'll give you a triple pay rise, why wouldn't you move? Best referee in the Premier League who will now be replaced with some drivel.
norwichfox Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Hope he don't like alcohol, bit of a job to get it there unlikely to be any benches to drink from a cider bottle wrapped in a brown paper bag.....

norwichfox Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Just now, z-layrex said: American embassy parties mate. Trump will sort the party's out......bring your own bottle and run the gauntlet getting it to the Embassy....
