PGMOL Investigates Leaked Video of Referee

PGMOL chief Howard Webb confirmed that an investigation is underway following the suspension of referee David Coote, who was caught in a leaked video making derogatory remarks about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. The video, which emerged on social media, reportedly shows Coote using offensive language, leading PGMOL to treat it as genuine. Coote has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation, with Webb stating that no further comments will be made until the process is complete. Webb is set to appear on the show 'Match Officials: Mic'd Up' shortly after the controversy, but it is expected that the matter will not be discussed during the broadcast. The incident has raised concerns regarding Coote's past officiating decisions related to Liverpool, prompting discussions about possible corruption within officiating. The show featuring Webb will air on Sky Sports at 7 PM, but viewers may be disappointed as the episode was likely recorded prior to the controversy.
