The Referees Association chairman has expressed hope that David Coote will remain in English football despite his contract as an elite referee being terminated by PGMOL last month.
In a shocking move, PGMOL decided not to renew Coote's contract, leaving his future in the sport uncertain.
Coote, who has been a prominent figure in English football, has been officiating in the Premier League for several years and has been involved in some high-profile matches.
However, his termination has raised concerns among the refereeing community, with many questioning the reasons behind PGMOL's decision.
The Referees Association chairman has come out in support of Coote, stating that he hopes the experienced referee will continue to be involved in English football in some capacity.
Coote's termination has sparked a debate about the lack of transparency and accountability in the refereeing world, with many calling for more clarity on the decision-making process behind referee appointments and terminations.
As the football world waits to see what the future holds for Coote, one thing is certain - his termination has sent shockwaves throughout the sport and has raised important questions about the state of refereeing in English football.
The Referees Association chairman's comments have been seen as a positive step in showing support for Coote, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming weeks and months.
For now, Coote's fans and supporters can only hope that he will continue to be involved in the sport he loves, even if it's not as an elite referee.
As the situation continues to develop, one thing is clear - the refereeing community is standing behind Coote, and his legacy in English football will not be forgotten.
