Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has written to French sports minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra and demanded an apology after she accused the club of letting “loose their supporters”.
Liverpool are angry with what they call “the false information” being produced by the French government.
Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan said: “I would just say we are incredibly surprised that someone in that position would make comments in the first place at this point, when we haven’t had adequate time to understand what happened. We were in complete disbelief when we were made aware of them. I think it’s important that folks know that our chairman, Tom Werner, sent a letter to the French minister to articulate our views and is calling for an apology to our fans for those comments.
