• Coote accused of negative comments about Liverpool

The Premier League referee David Coote has been accused of calling Jürgen Klopp a “German cunt” and Liverpool “shit” after video footage emerged apparently showing the official explaining his disdain for the former manager.

According to the clip that surfaced on social media on Monday, Coote claimed that Klopp was “arrogant” and had accused him of lying after a match between Liverpool and Burnley during Project Restart in 2020. Coote took charge of Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.
