Referee David Coote Suspended After Admitting to Video Insulting Liverpool and Klopp
Nov 11, 2024, 04:04 PM
Premier League referee David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL). The suspension follows the emergence of a viral video circulating on social media, which appears to show Coote making derogatory comments about Liverpool Football Club and their former manager, Jürgen Klopp. In the video, Coote reportedly uses offensive language towards Klopp and criticizes Liverpool. Coote initially denied the video's authenticity but has since admitted that it is genuine. He has had previous high-profile run-ins with Klopp and Liverpool, including controversial decisions in past matches. The PGMOL has issued an official statement and is conducting a full investigation, stating that it will make no further comment until the process is complete.
