Plenty of crap decisions in the Liverpool Villa game

Think it’s one of those where both sentiments can be true at the same time. He should lose his job for it but people are also reading too much into it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just checked and PL refs can earn 100k+. Anyone in any profession earning that kind of money will have all sorts in their contracts regarding conduct, and one of the biggest things these days is companies protecting their image and if you do anything that is perceived to damage the brand, you’re a goner.

I’ve said elsewhere that I don’t think he’s corrupt, but he doesn’t deserve to keep his job either.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it the manner in which he said it? Like if he had instead said on video he "disliked Liverpool and Klopp", would he be allowed to keep his job then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course not. He’s allowed himself to be filmed saying these things, and no matter how he says it, he’s left himself open to accusations of not being impartial, which is arguably the most important part of his job. His position is untenable.

Nah. He’d rightly lose his job regardless of that.

Yeah I'm sure if he had said the same about Arteta and Arsenal you would have been fine with it.

Just waiting for Mike dean to say “yeah, ref got it spot on there, used his judgement and came to the correct decision”
Like he does with every ref decision he’s asked to comment on

posted on 11/11/24

He’s been properly stitched up by one of his ‘mates’. Should have never let it be recorded on video though.

I suppose the way he said it does look much worse compared to how I suggested it, as an example. Like if he said it in a less serious tone with no vulgarity then I kind of think he'd be better served getting punished by way of a fine and never refereeing a Liverpool game again, compared to losing his job full stop for the actual video that's come out.

As the OP said, it is just a person expressing their own opinion and they're entitled to not like a team or manager. Obviously you can't express it in his profession without getting punished and the way he presented it on video probably means it should be as severe as being sacked.

What we don't know is, is this it. Or is there even more videos to come out

He is just plain thick. First for doing it and then claiming it was a fake

Tried it like prince andrew and the photo . Which he also afterwards claims he don't remeber taking it

It can't be brushed under the carpet like the Spurs debacle was, that's for sure.

David Coote should now just become a youtuber and spill the beans on other refs. If he has flushed his career down the toilet then he might as well take down whoever else he can

"oh...lets get something clear...this video goes nowhere understood"

what a dumbfack

posted on 12/11/24

a part of me feels sorry for him because his high level career is now over.

But on the other hand, why would you let anyone film that, even if they are your mates. Beyond stupid.

Like the OP say, he's fine holding these opinions if he remains professional. It would be like hating your boss. Perfectly normal but keep it to yourself otherwise it's career suicide.
