The PGMOL have already suspended Coote, while he is also out at UEFA and under FA investigation.

According to The Sun, Coote will quit and lose out on any bonuses in his contract.

A source quoted by the publication said: “He’s looking at more than a million quid down the drain there when you add it all up.”

PGMOL boss Howard Webb stated this week: “We became aware of a video on social media that we are taking very seriously. 

“We have instigated a full investigation. David Coote has been suspended pending the outcome. There’s not much more I can say at this stage.”
