REFEREE David Coote has been suspended pending an investigation after a video was posted on social media which appears to show him using highly offensive language about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
It is unclear when the video was made or how it came into circulation, and it has not been verified.
In it, Coote is asked for his views on a Liverpool match where he has just been fourth official, and describes them as “s***.”
