What happens to VAR when a club is relegated from the Premier League

Apologies if this has been raised before, but what happens to the VAR equipment when a club is relegated.  Is it removed, or just turned off, or will we sometimes be playing  "under" VAR and sometimes not.

    No VAR in the championship, only GLT 

    My guess is that relagated clubs just leave the kit in place hoping to be promoted.

    It could get to the point where nearly all clubs in the Championship have got unused VAR kit, unless there's the option of renting/leasing it !

    The wiring stays in, that's the big cost to the clubs, the cameras which are expensive and loaned go back to Hawkeye/Sony

    I've been buying them from Salvage auctions. Really helps me explain the offside rule to the missus using the cat in the garden.

    I explained the offside rule to my wife by using a bottle of Vinegar, plus salt and Pepper pots.

    This old fashion system is not to be sneezed at.

    A sod when a goal is disallowed because a whisker is offside.

    Partially due to VAR, the premier league wouldn't be fun anymore for a club of our size. It would be decent money, an interesting year and something to build upon when returning to the championship. That's it.

    I watched goal of the season video from 2025 - 1992.

    The best goals are by far from 1992 - 2010. They all just get a bit boring after that point.

    You also can't even celebrate a goal wholeheartedly if you hit the opposition on the counter attack due to fear of a 10 minute check to declare someones little toe has been caught offside and then a goal ruled out.

    VAR puts fans to sleep. I guess it's useful for goal line technology but that's it.

    this did the trick with my wife

    You’re in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

    The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.

    It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

    The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

    Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.

    She prepares to throw her purse to you.

    If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.

    At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes.

    Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.
