Prem bosses will bring in tough new measures to improve respect towards referees for next season.
?Roma boss Jose Mourinho's appalling behaviour after the Europa League final when he launched a foul-mouthed tirade at referee Anthony Taylor has brought the issue into sharp focus. PGMOL boss Howard Webb is keen to bring about change and is determined to bring in “real steps” for next season to clamp down on managers and players.
?Clubs were warned last summer about managers' behaviour in technical areas and also players surrounding referees and the Football Association issued heavy fines and touchline bans.?
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp were among those punished while Manchester United were hit with a Ł65,000 fine after their players surrounded referee Chris Kavanagh in an FA Cup tie with Fulham in March.
They were tougher on managers and clubs - but want to get even stronger with their warnings and the PGMOL, FA and Premier League will engage in discussions over the coming weeks with clubs and captains to set out new guidelines. ?Respect for referees is very important on the agenda, but the behavior of the manager and also the players around the referee are the two main issues and can lead to larger fines and longer bans . The use of a recording of the manager-referee exchange - it was tested on Sky at the end of last season - could be played more frequently, which is another deterrent.
Webb has been a really active appointee to PGMOL and while his VAR overhaul will certainly take time, he has the authority, transparency and respect to assert more control. . The Premier League will hold its annual meeting next Wednesday, 24 hours after 20 clubs - including Luton, Sheffield United and newly promoted Burnley - also meet.

?But Tyldesley decided to walk away because while he didn't want to lecture anyone else, he felt uncomfortable having to promote game companies and ratings while commenting. Former ITV commentator Tyldesley has great respect for talkSPORT and it is a completely personal decision.
It is also understood that football and the media rely heavily on advertising from bookies.? But Premier League clubs have agreed to stop advertising future shirts and the famous case of Brentford striker Ivan Toney and his ban have heated up the debate. Stage Center.
?Toney has been banned for eight months for violating the Football Association's rules on gambling - but must wear a Brentford shirt with the house as the main sponsor. England manager Gareth Southgate also voiced his support for Toney. Tyldesley has agreed to partner with Big Step, a charity that is trying to put an end to all betting and betting advertising in football.
