They'll never get the 14 votes needed.  I understand why Wolves brought it up, and it definitely can be improved on, but there's no chance this goes through.

You're probably right, unfortunately.
What they should do is dump VAR and add at least one more referee.
It's nuts that in soccer, you're asking one referee (plus two linesmen with limited authority) to see everything that's occurring over an 81,000-square-foot playing surface.
For comparison's sake:
NFL - Seven officials for 57,600 square feet
NHL - Two referees + two linesmen for 17,000 square feet
NBA - Three officials for 4,700 square feet
MLB - Four umpires for 8,100 square feet (imperfect comp, but the vast majority of the calls are made within the diamond).

I get the concept around dumping VAR, but the first time there is a bad call, people will be wondering why its was dumped.
