As I wrote somewhere before, how can anyone think you can use a group of mostly no or limited Premier L...

I don't think the total number of referees in this country has a bearing on how good the top referees are.
According to a Guardian article, in 2021 there were 24,500 referees in the England, 40 of them elite.
