A good ref for one manager is bad for another for example Arsene Wenger is always moaning about his players not getting adequate protection yet some managers say the physical game is disappearing from modern football. If one ref allows play to flow and is happy for tough tackling to take place then some managers will applaud him whilst others will criticise.
Also, if a ref's wage and position are going to be affected by managers, what happens if he's in charge of a game towards the end of the season involving a manager who may have criticised him earlier in the season? Does that ref try and even it out to get a good report or do the noble thing and accept the criticism and take a pay cut.
Referee's will never get a 100% and long may it continue (something to talk about). Making brave calls and using common sense makes a good referee in my opinion.
1) referees cant use common sense(like in the good old days) they have to go by the letter of the law.
2) who's to say the referees score wont be based on good decisions aswell? and also who's to say they cant see the report untill the end of the season for in order to stop them trying to even out bad feedback?
3) certainly worth looking at than just poo pooing it like your suggesting without even looking into a sensible system what could allow it to be successful.
