Premier League clubs will discuss whether managers should be ­allowed to appeal a refereeing decision during a game in a potentially radical change to how the video ­assistant referees are used.

At a meeting of the 20 clubs next week, the idea of allowing managers a set number of appeals – as takes place in other sports, such as cricket – will be put forward.

One chairman told Telegraph Sport that he would be in favour of each team being given up to three appeals over contentious ­incidents during a game. However, the Premier League will strongly argue against it – claiming it will lead to time-wasting and tactical appeals by managers to break up play and run down the clock.

Nevertheless, clubs say there will be a “robust” discussion on the failings of VAR. Although there is an implied threat that some might even call for the suspension of the system, it appears the majority want to give it more time to be improved before moving towards that dramatic course of action.

They are, however, demanding answers with a rising sense of frustration at the way VAR is being used and the potential damage and ­embarrassment it is causing the Premier League. Some have already written to the Premier League with their concerns.
