Review of officials following wild rant leads to relocation (8)
I believe the answer is:
transfer
'relocation' is the definition.
'review of officials following wild rant' is the wordplay.
'review of' is a reversal indicator.
'officials' becomes 'refs' (referees, match officials in a game).
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'refs' backwards is 'sfer'.
'rant' with letters rearranged gives 'tran'.
'sfer' after 'tran' is 'TRANSFER'.
'leads to' is the link.
(Other definitions for transfer that I've seen before include "Convey from one place to another" , "Star fern (anag.)" , "Move, change (to new place)" , "Carry over" , "Move (something) across" .)
