David Coote admits bombshell X-rated Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp video is genuine
Premier League referee David Coote could be in hot water with the PGMOL and the FA after admitting the video in which he rants about Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp is genuine
Premier League referee David Coote is understood to have admitted the viral video in which he appears to call Liverpool 's***' and Jurgen Klopp a 'German c***' is genuine.
The video, believed to be several years old, surfaced on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday. It features Coote sitting on a sofa talking to another man about two separate Liverpool fixtures.
He is asked: "What did you think of the Liverpool game earlier?" Coote responds: "Liverpool were s***." He is then asked: "What do you think of Jurgen Klopp?" To which Coote replied: "C***. Absolute c***.
"Aside from having a right pop at me when I refereed them against Burnley in lockdown, he accused me of lying then had a right f****** pop at me."
Coote is understood to have accepted the viral video in which he appears is genuine. However, it is believed he does not recall the content of the discussion, recorded several years ago.
Referring to a second match in which he was acting as fourth official, he continued: "I've got no interest in speaking to someone who's f****** arrogant. So I do my best not to speak to him. James Milner's alright.
"You can see me there [in a picture on his phone] with a mask on. Got to careful right, we're social distancing, we're two metres apart. But my God, German c***. F*** me."
Coote then made a plea to whoever was being sent the video to not share it. He added: "Just to be clear, that f****** last video can't go anywhere. Seriously."
The PGMOL and the FA have both confirmed they are investigating the video. Liverpool have also been contacted for comment.
"David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation. PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete," the PGMOL said.
