Suspended referee David Coote is a 'hardworking and diligent' professional who deserves the dignity to move on with his life, according to former official Jon Moss.
Coote is being investigated by the Football Association after a slew of allegations and videos detailing his conduct away from the field.
A video of a man alleged to be Coote snorting white powder at Euro 2024 in a UEFA-funded hotel room emerged, while he was also accused of calling Jurgen Klopp a 'German ****' among other misdemeanours.
In November Coote slammed 'false and defamatory allegations' about his character and insisted that nothing in his personal life affected his decision-making on the field.
