Graeme Souness has slammed the owners who were prepared to 'sell their souls' in order to forge a European Super League as the Liverpool icon cast doubt over John W Henry's standing as Reds owner.
The controversial plan - that would have seen 12 European clubs form the league that had been described as a 'closed shop' - has lasted just 48 hours with Chelsea the first English club to prepare to withdraw from the competition.
Manchester City are also understood to be leaving the £4.6bn scheme, while Manchester United chief Ed Woodward has resigned following the widespread backlash among fans and pundits to the ploy.
