What now? Disgraced referee Coote caught in yet another scandal

Premier League referee David Coote has been at the center of numerous controversies recently, and the latest allegations now involve his officiating in the English Championship.

Details: According to The Sun, Coote was assigned to officiate a match between Leeds and West Brom in October 2019. Upon learning of this, a friend jokingly suggested that Coote deliberately show a yellow card to Leeds defender Ezgjan Alioski.

The foul in question (timestamp 19:36):

Alioski was booked in the 18th minute for what experts deemed a justified caution due to the rough nature of his challenge. While there is no evidence that Coote personally benefited financially, his friend anonymously claimed that he had intended to place a bet on that yellow card through a bookmaker.

Reminder: Coote was previously suspended from officiating due to inappropriate remarks about Liverpool and was later found to have been using substances resembling narcotics.
