Unironically, if you had some kind of gamified crowdsourced VAR, it could probably work.

After each game, an oversight committee decides on the "correct" decision for each incident, and Fan-VARs who voted the correct way earn points, those who didn't lose points. More points = get to be involved in higher prestige games, plus bigger lotteries, with £10'000 draws done by computer during half-time for big matches, and the winning Fan-VAR gets his name and photo (and points tally) on the Sky Sports feed.

I mean, obviously it's a terrible dystopia, but I bet it would lead to better results than the present setup.

What is the stadium with the block of flats so close to it that a ball can be kicked into the balcony? It's basically an extra private stand. He should have had that.

Also, I'd have liked to have seen the Spurs Skywalk, maybe with Levy murdering someone on it, bond villain style.

It must be hard as well to work out how long is needed. With a physical injury, there are tests and more tests, doctors can stick probes in you and take measurements. Yep, we certify your ankle is good now, get back on the pitch. For a mental health injury, it's much harder... it's going to have to be much more player-driven.
