Take It or Leave It: getting rid of VAR, closed leagues in Europe, when to fire a manager, and Weston McKennie's next club

Your favorite semi-recurring series is back: it's Take It or Leave It time! We've got plenty of your takes to break down, including...1) Getting rid of VAR entirely would be absolute nonsense2) One of the Big 5 European leagues will become a “closed league” before MLS implements any form of promotion and relegation.3) MLS will eventually have pro/rel but only by forming a North American Super league that both MLS and LigaMX promote into4) Firing a manager mid-season is the wrong call 90% of the time5) Mckennie's next move should be to Borussia Dortmund6) Arsene Wenger once said Arsenal is at a disadvantage over Manchester United because it has more derbys.
