Liverpool owner apologises to fans over Super League plan

John W Henry has apologised to Liverpool supporters over the club’s intent to join the European Super League.

The Reds were among the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ to confirm their intent on Sunday to join the breakaway competition, which went against the structures of English football.

The champions confirmed their intent to leave the ESL on Tuesday night, less than 48 hours later, but the American billionaire has now moved to apologise to the club’s supporters.

A statement read: “I want to apologise to all the fans and supporters of Liverpool Football Club for the disruption I caused over the past 48 hours.
