First individual: “What do you think about Jurgen Klopp?”

Second individual (reportedly Coote): “He’s a complete idiot, absolute idiot.”

First individual: “Why do you consider Jurgen Klopp an idiot?”

Second individual (reportedly Coote): “Well, apart from him having a go at me when I officiated their match against Burnley during lockdown.”

“Then he accused me of being dishonest and just went off on me – and I really have no desire to converse with someone who’s incredibly arrogant.

“So I try my best to avoid him. [James] Milner is fine, I get along with Milner.”

First individual: “James Milner, he gets along with James Milner.”

Second individual (reportedly Coote): “You can spot me there with a mask on.”

First individual: “Mask on, of course.”

Second individual (reportedly Coote): “Yeah, because of Covid, it has to be done. Social distancing, right? We’re two meters apart.”

First individual: “We need to maintain social distance.”

Second individual (reportedly Coote): “Yep, but [exhales] my goodness. That German guy, wow.”

First individual: “In summary, Jurgen Klopp’s an idiot, Liverpool are all annoying, we don’t like Scousers.”

Second individual (reportedly Coote): “Exactly.”

First individual: “So let’s avoid ruining his career.”
