Coote was sacked earlier this month after the emergence of a video in which he made derogatory remarks about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp. Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said that a thorough investigation had concluded he was “in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable”. “Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare,” PGMOL’s statement on December 9 added. Coote had the right to appeal against the decision but PA understands the Nottinghamshire referee has decided not to. The video which triggered PGMOL’s investigation into Coote’s conduct first came to public attention on November 11. In it, Coote is asked for his views on a Liverpool match where he has just been fourth official, and describes them as “s***”. He then describes Klopp as a “c***”, and, asked why he felt that way, Coote says the German had “a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown” and had accused him of lying. “I have got no interest in speaking to someone who’s f****** arrogant, so I do my best not to speak to him,” Coote said. Later in the video, Coote again refers to Klopp, this time as a “German c***”. The Football Association opened its own investigation into that video, understood to be centred on that last comment and whether Coote’s reference to Klopp’s nationality constituted an aggravated breach of its misconduct rules. The investigation by PGMOL which led to Coote’s contract being terminated is also understood to have looked at another video which appeared to show Coote snorting a white powder, purportedly during Euro 2024 where he was one of the assistant VARs for the tournament. European football’s governing body UEFA also appointed an ethics investigator to look into the matter.None

(AP) — Dejounte Murray plans to return to the New Orleans Pelicans ‘ lineup on Wednesday night for the first time since fracturing his left hand in a season-opening victory over Chicago on Oct. 23. And when Murray takes the court against the Toronto Raptors, his mother will be on his mind. After practice on Tuesday, Murray discussed his impending return and disclosed more details about the previously unspecified “personal matters” that caused him to leave the team during the final days of the preseason. His mother had a stroke, he said. “It was tough to leave and go deal with that. As she got better, she wanted me to come play,” Murray said of his last-minute decision to start against Chicago. He added that his hand injury near the end of that game was God’s way of telling him, “‘Nah, you need to stay with your mom.’” “I was more concerned about my mother. That was my priority,” Murray continued. “I wasn’t really worried about my recovery.” Murray’s mother has recovered well, he said, while he is “healthy and ready to help this team.” “I’m ready to hoop. Play for my mother — she’s going to be watching,” Murray said. “I’m ready to compete, bring that winning spirit.” The Pelicans (4-14) certainly could use the help, having lost 14 of 16 games since opening the season with a pair of victories. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Injuries have ravaged the roster. At times, all five starters have been out. Star power forward Zion Williamson has missed 12 games this season — one with an illness and 11 with a hamstring injury. Herb Jones has been sidelined by a shoulder strain and Brandon Ingram’s status is in doubt after he sat out practice on Tuesday with calf soreness that also sidelined him during a loss on Monday night at Indiana. But at least two starters — Murray and fellow guard CJ McCollum — are expected to play against the Raptors. “I don’t care how many games we’ve lost. I just know every time I step on the floor I feel like we can win games,” said Murray, who had 14 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in his lone game with the Pelicans. “That’s just my mentality, and I feel like it can carry over to a lot of guys.” ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA Advertisement Advertisement
The Prime Minister said the season was a time to remember the importance of “being there for one another”, including in “the more difficult times”. He also expressed hope for “peace, particularly in the Middle East as the birthplace of the Christmas story” amid spiralling conflict across the region. The message comes after a challenging first five months in office for the Labour Government and against the backdrop of a flatlining economy and rising inflation. Sir Keir said: “This Christmas, people will be travelling up and down the country. Heading home, visiting relatives and loved ones to celebrate together the hope and joy of this special season. “It’s a time to remind ourselves what’s really important. Family. Friendship. And fellowship between all people. “Being there for one another – in these celebrations, as well as the more difficult times.” To our military and veterans, the whole nation thanks you for the sacrifices you make to keep us safe. My government will serve you as you have served your country. I wish you and your families a very happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year. pic.twitter.com/LphMZog6np — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) December 22, 2024 The Prime Minister sought to strike an optimistic note following another year of political upheaval for Britain, which saw Labour win a landslide victory after a surprise election called by Rishi Sunak in the summer. After taking office in July, the new Government made a series of unpopular decisions as ministers confronted the realities of creaking public services and strained national finances. As well as dealing with the economic inheritance, Sir Keir said he needed to fix a “broken society” which manifested itself in summer riots across the country after the Southport knife attack. Sir Keir said: “This Christmas, I will be hoping for peace, particularly in the Middle East as the birthplace of the Christmas story. “I’ll be looking towards a better, brighter future for every person and celebrating the joy and wonder that Christmas brings. “So, from my family to yours, I hope you have a very merry Christmas.” The message comes after revised official figures released on Monday indicated that UK gross domestic product (GDP) showed no growth between July and September. Downing Street defended the Government’s record so far when asked about the data, telling reporters: “We had to take those tough decisions to lay the foundations of growth such that we can then deliver the higher living standards over this Parliament that people want to see.” The Prime Minister also used his message to thank those spending Christmas serving others, including in the NHS and emergency services, the armed forces, churches and charities. “I know that this is not an easy time for everyone, and my thoughts are with all those who are lonely this Christmas. “Having a tough time, missing a loved one. You are not alone,” he said. Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch said Christmas was a time to reflect on “all that’s happened in the year” and “support all of those people who need our assistance”. “I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone, not just in the Conservative Party or in my constituency, but across the country,” the Tory leader said. “For all that you have been doing in your communities, supporting each other and helping to keep all our towns, villages and places going. “I think that Christmas is a time for us to reflect on all that’s happened in the year. “Sometimes we have amazing years. “Sometimes, like when I lost my dad, we have difficult years and we’re commiserating, but we do it together. “But it’s a time for us to support all of those people who need our assistance, who need our help, who need our support.” She added: “And I’m looking forward to 2025. “I wish you all the very best for the New Year and all of the exciting things to come.” Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said: “This year, I’ve had the chance to spend time with some amazing young carers. “Incredible young people who will spend this Christmas doing what they do all year round; looking after loved ones who are ill or disabled. “Carers embody the Christmas spirit of love, selflessness and generosity. “So I hope we can all take some time to think of them, and keep them in our hearts. “And wish them – and everyone – a Christmas full of peace, joy and love.”AP News Summary at 5:25 p.m. ESTSir Alex Ferguson reportedly had to step in to ensure that the family of Manchester United legend Sir Matt Busby kept seats in Old Trafford amid unpopular changes under the INEOS hierarchy. Busby is a legendary figure at United, having managed the club between 1945 and 1969, winning 13 major trophies. He passed away in 1994, but his family have had complimentary season tickets at Old Trafford ever since. The family have sat in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand and had access to a lounge, with the club trying to maintain a connection to their past. However, the change of ownership to INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe in February led to a breakdown in communication over the summer over their tickets. The Daily Mail reports that Ferguson felt he needed to reach out to the new chief executive Omar Berrada to ensure that the Busby family retained season tickets. He was successful, with United finding them different seats in the same stand. The move ensured that INEOS did not score a PR own goal, although they have done so on several other occasions this year. Ferguson himself is no stranger to the ruthless edge of the new hierarchy, having lost his lucrative club ambassador role in the restructure implemented by Ratcliffe. The petrochemicals billionaire personally met with Ferguson in October to inform him of the decision to cut his £2million-a-year gig. Ratcliffe has been very open in his desire to cut costs at the club since taking sporting control by buying 27.7 per cent of the club for £1.3bn in February. He has slashed 250 jobs and cancelled the Christmas party as well as other freebies for staff, including tickets for the FA Cup final in May. "Manchester United has become mediocre," he told the United We Stand fanzine last week. "It is supposed to be one of the best football clubs in the world . We have to make some difficult and unpopular decisions. If you shy away from the difficult decisions, then nothing much is going to change.” The Daily Mail reports that former United chairman Martin Edwards, ex-chief executive David Gill and long-serving director Mike Edelson have now been told they can’t visit the dressing room after games. Meanwhile, former players Norman Whiteside and Gordon Hill have been left unhappy after having their season tickets seats moved. Denise Whiteside took to social media in February to brand United a “disgrace” for their treatment of her husband, claiming they had been moved in order to accommodate more executive seating inside the stadium – something the club denied. Ratcliffe has also been criticised after raising the price of tickets to £66. "We need to find a balance – and you can't be popular all the time either,” he said in response. “Here, we are talking about 3 per cent of the tickets. I don't think it makes sense for a Manchester United ticket to cost less than a ticket to see Fulham ."

In a statement issued by the General Secretary of the ICU, Morgan Ayawine, the union stressed the importance of using lessons learned and experiences gained in the past year to propel the nation into 2025 with renewed commitment. Ayawine encouraged workers to focus on productivity within their respective organizations as a key component in supporting the government’s efforts to revive the economy. “As preparations are under way to usher in a new political administration in January 2025, we urge you, as workers who are the nation builders, to rededicate and redirect your efforts toward a speedy economic recovery,” Ayawine noted. The union reiterated its commitment to collaborating with employers to increase productivity and profitability while ensuring fair and optimal working conditions for workers. Ayawine also highlighted the need for workers to contribute to the government’s job creation agenda, which is expected to play a central role in the country’s economic revitalization. “To our social partners (employers), we wish to reassure you as a union of our continuous collaboration for increased productivity and profitability of your businesses, while at the same time anticipate your reciprocity in offering optimum conditions of service for workers within your work organization,” he said. In closing, Ayawine urged workers to remain resilient and continue to work towards the growth and sustainability of their respective institutions, despite the current economic challenges. “Finally, to the gallant workers of Ghana, we encourage you to continue holding high the flag of Ghana and work harder in your efforts at full recovery and sustainability of your employers’ institutions and organizations,” he added.
