FA Investigates Referee David Coote's Allegations

Premier League referee David Coote is under investigation by the FA following serious allegations of misconduct, including improper behavior during matches and off-field incidents. He was initially suspended by the PGMOL after a video surfaced in which he appeared to insult former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and the club, alongside another clip suggesting drug use. New allegations allege Coote discussed issuing a yellow card to Leeds United player Ezgjan Alioski during a 2019 match, with Coote reportedly messaging friends after the game about the booking. Coote has denied all allegations, asserting they are false and have not influenced his on-field decisions. The PGMOL has stated it maintains a zero-tolerance policy for breaches of conduct and is committed to thorough investigations. As investigations continue, Coote's career hangs in the balance amid growing scrutiny and allegations.
