Jamie Carragher has apologised to Aston Villa after the club threatened legal action over his comments about the Premier League side's stature. The former Liverpool defender posted a statement on X, saying he was sorry for his remarks.
Carragher's apology
In his post, Carragher wrote: "I'd like to apologise to Aston Villa, the owners & their fans. My language this week was clumsy & wrong. I can assure Villa fans it was tongue in cheek but I can understand it's not come across that way, so apologies. Good luck today UTV!"
Legal action threat
Aston Villa announced on Friday that they would be taking legal action against Carragher, who had angered the club with his comments about how big a club they are. The club's statement did not specify the exact nature of the legal action being considered.
Carragher's apology comes after the club's announcement, with the former footballer acknowledging that his words had not been received as intended. He wished Villa good luck in their fixture on the day of the apology.
