It has been that way a long time. Managers like Warnock complained about premier league and refereeing bias for the big clubs, a long time ago. Remember Tevez and Mascherano playing for Wham and them not being signed correctly under the rules and the premier league fined them rather than took points off them. sheffield united went down because of that. That wasn’t fair then. It’s not new but i think VAR is doing the opposite of what it is supposed too. Refs don’t make decision against the big clubs knowing that VAR will have to take a look and share the responsibility but VAR are absolving responsibility by only alerting the ref if it is a clanger of the most extreme proportions, subverting the whole purpose of it which is to make the largest number of correct key decisions as possible. VAR is reinforcing the advantage the big sides already had. There is a lot wrong with the premier league and pgmol but it is not a case of the latter conspiring to get certain teams relegated.
