Club to hold disciplinary hearing over offensive tweet from 2010Director of
Cricket Martyn Moxon off with ‘stress-related illness’Andrew Gale, the Yorkshire head coach, has been suspended pending a disciplinary hearing into an offensive tweet he posted 11 years ago as the club continues to grapple with its
racism scandal.
Gale, 37, replied to a message from Paul Dews, Leeds United’s head of media at the time, in 2010 that included the words “button it yid!”. It resurfaced this week in the public outcry that followed Yorkshire’s handling of Azeem Rafiq’s allegations.
