His store &#8211; The Vinyl Whistle &#8211; started its own FPL competition with entries priced at \u00a35 for the new season.<\/p>\n<p>The shop website reportedly advertised the competition and even featured the Premier League\u2019s own official logo. And it has raised eyebrows among top flight chiefs due to Moss\u2019 current involvement in the game.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Paul Heckingbottom claims Sheffield United were &apos;told to go long by ref or get red card&apos;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Gary Neville perplexed by &apos;strange&apos; offside to deny Arsenal opening goal against Everton<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Moss retired from refereeing at the end of the 2021\/22 season but the 52-year-old is still actively involved in Professional Game Match Officials Limited &#8211; the body responsible for refereeing English football.<\/p>\n<p>He acts as Select Group 1 Manager for PGMOL, meaning his role is to select referees for top-flight matches. It is understood that Moss did not himself have a team in the FPL tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Mail claimed that one interested observer said: \u201cNot sure it\u2019s a great look for someone who selects who referees games in a league to be running a competition based on it. I\u2019m also not sure the League will be too thrilled to see him using their logo to promote it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><i>What do you think of PGMOL?
