Liverpool owner John W Henry apologises for European Super League proposal

Liverpool owner John W Henry has apologised to the club's supporters for the "disruption" caused by the proposed European Super League (ESL).

The Reds and five other Premier League sides withdrew from the ESL on Tuesday evening after a furious backlash.

"The project put forward was never going to stand without the support of the fans," said American Henry.

"Over these 48 hours you were very clear that it would not stand. We heard you. I heard you."

The other five Premier League clubs involved - Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham - also pulled out on Tuesday evening.
