    If it means that he isn't screwing up games pretending to be a ref then it is okay. I think it is the traditional promote them out of the way because you can't sack them approach to idiots with influence.

    Translation :

    "A job has been created for Dave Pearson so that we don't have to face the embarrassing (for him and us) prospect of regrading him. We've never had one of these before because it was basically unnecessary. However we've also never had a bloke like Dave get appointed to ref dozens of first class matches and ruin half of them. We wish Dave all the best in his new as yet undefined role and expect he will make a valuable contribution. By email."

    He was already 'regraded' and dropped off the International Referee Panel and told he wont be back at the end of last season.
