O'Neil warns referees to 'be careful' as referee Anthony Taylor is demoted to Championship.

Gary O'Neil:

"I think that's three referees now that have been relegated off the back of reffing for us. So you need to be careful when you referee Wolves because you can end up in the Championship the following week. [Manchester] United, Luton and Newcastle now."

I don't really understand why the referee is being punished, when VAR was at fault in my opinion.
