**Premier League official David Coote has had his employment TERMINATED with immediate effect after a video showed him insulting Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.**
After he became the laughingstock of social media for his comments about the club, the PGMOL instantly began an investigation into the video, and he was suspended during the international break.

The FA subsequently also investigated Coote's comments for potentially using xenophobic language about Klopp, using his nationality in his disapproval of the former manager.
Other subsequent leaks came about about the referee, but none were taken quite as seriously as the original video.
But now, four weeks after the video was published, the PGMOL has laid out its stance in full, deciding it had no choice but to terminate his contract.
Released just minutes ago, a statement from PGMOL reads:
"Following the conclusion of a thorough investigation into David Coote’s conduct, his employment with PGMOL has been terminated today with immediate effect.
"David Coote’s actions were found to be in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable.
"Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare. David Coote has a right to appeal the decision to terminate his employment."
